Setting Up Creeper Protection on a Multiplayer Server

Server Installation

This mod features dedicated server-side support, making it simple to deploy on multiplayer worlds.

1. Place the mod into your dedicated server's mods folder.

2. Start or restart your server.

3. There are no configuration files to edit or setup steps required; the mod activates automatically upon server launch.

Connecting as a Client

Because the mod operates entirely on the server side, connecting players do not need to install the mod on their personal game clients. Players running a vanilla client can join the server without encountering compatibility issues.

Once loaded, the server handles all explosion events directly. Whenever a creeper detonates near a player, the server suppresses all block destruction while still accurately calculating blast damage for players and nearby entities. This lightweight approach protects community builds without creating performance overhead or requiring modpack updates for every player.
