NoExplosionGrief stops Creepers, Ghasts and Withers from breaking blocks when they explode, on Fabric servers.

What it does

Creeper, Ghast, Wither and Fireball explosions normally destroy terrain. This Fabric mod keeps the blocks in place while the explosion still happens, so mobs keep their attacks but builds survive. A config file lets a server owner turn block damage on or off for each of the three mobs.

Only the server needs the mod: players join without installing anything. It requires DACL, and the latest Fabric file, 1.8, targets 26.3 and was published on 2026-07-15. Files exist for 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. The source code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Creeper block protection

    Creeper explosions no longer destroy blocks, while the blast and damage to entities still occur.

  2. Ghast and Fireball protection

    Ghast and Fireball explosions are kept from breaking terrain, so player structures near them stay intact.

  3. Wither protection

    Wither skull explosions are prevented from destroying blocks, which protects bases built near Wither fights.

  4. Per-mob config

    A config file enables or disables block damage separately for Creeper, Ghast and Wither, so an owner can choose which mobs may break blocks.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Server owners who want mob explosions without terrain damage. Players on a protected server need nothing installed, since only the server runs the mod.

Questions

Does NoExplosionGrief need DACL?

Yes. DACL is a required dependency and must be installed on the server alongside NoExplosionGrief.

Do players need the mod to join a protected server?

No. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join.

Can block damage be turned on for some mobs but not others?

Yes. The config file has separate options for Creeper, Ghast and Wither block damage, so each can be enabled or disabled independently.
