Balancing Protection and Gameplay

You want to stop creepers from destroying your base but still allow players to use TNT for mining. The mod's granular flag system handles this.

Configuring Selective Damage Prevention

In your region settings, disable:

  • Mob Griefing: Stops creepers, endermen, withers, and other mobs from breaking blocks
  • Explosions: Prevents all explosion damage, including TNT
  • Fire Spread: Stops fire from consuming your builds

If you want controlled explosions for mining, enable the Explosions flag but keep Mob Griefing disabled. This lets players use TNT intentionally while protecting against accidental creeper damage.

Environment-Specific Setup

For Nether bases, disable Ghast fireballs by toggling explosion protection. In the End, disable Enderman block-stealing with mob griefing flags. Consider creating separate Local Regions for mining areas where you allow explosions, surrounded by protected zones where they're blocked.
