About this project
What does Mob Explosion Griefing Gamerule add?
MobExplosionGriefingGamerule
For a long time, this mod was only available on Modrinth. I'm uploading the files here too, but not all versions. If you can't find a version of the mod here, take a look at the Modrinth page. Source JARs are also Modrinth-exclusive.
This Minecraft mods separates explosions and other destructive mob actions from the mob_griefing gamerule.
It adds a custom gamerule, mob_explosion_griefing:mob_explosion_griefing, which makes all mob explosions (except Withers) not destroy blocks. Other actions, like fireballs lighting fires, will still happen.
Additionally, certain actions can also be controlled separately.
- By turning
mob_explosion_griefing:creeper_griefingoff, Creepers will not destroy blocks when exploding. - By turning
mob_explosion_griefing:ghast_griefingoff, Ghasts will not destroy blocks when shooting Fireballs. They won't light fires either. - By turning
mob_explosion_griefing:wither_griefingoff, Withers will not destroy blocks with their spawn explosion, when taking damage or when shooting Skulls. However, Wither Roses will still be placed. - By turning
mob_explosion_griefing:enderman_griefingoff, Endermen will not pick up or place blocks. - By turning
mob_explosion_griefing:door_breaking_griefingoff, mobs will not be able to break doors, no matter the difficulty. - By turning
mob_explosion_griefing:turtle_egg_griefingoff, mobs will not pathfind to turtle eggs and won't destroy them upon stepping on them.
All of these gamerules are true by default.
Turning mob_explosion_griefing:mob_explosion_griefing off will disable all explosions of the above (except Withers'), but other actions will still be allowed. For example, if mobExplosionGriefing is false, but ghastGriefing is true, Fireballs won't destroy blocks, but they will still light fires.
Turning mob_griefing off will disable all destructive mob actions, just like in vanilla, and will ignore the values of all gamerules added by this mod.
After updating to 1.21.11 or above, the values of all game rules added by this mod will be reset to true. You need to reset them manually!
Other vanilla functionality should not be affected. If you find any bugs or have any ideas on how the mod could be enhanced, please post a GitHub Issue.
