Lenient Creepers Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to configure anything when I first install this mod?
No, the mod works immediately after installation with default settings. Items dropped on the ground will be protected from creeper explosions as long as the mobGriefing gamerule is set to false.
How do I make items drop when creepers explode?
Set the mobGriefing gamerule to true using `/gamerule mobGriefing true`. If you want items to always be protected regardless of the gamerule, find the onlyWithMobGriefingGamerule option in the mod's config file and set it to false.
Does this mod protect items in all situations or just from creepers?
This mod only protects items from creeper explosions. Items can still be destroyed by other explosion sources like TNT, beds, or respawn anchors.
Will blocks still be destroyed when a creeper explodes?
Yes, creepers will still destroy blocks in their explosion as normal. This mod only prevents items lying on the ground from disappearing.
What does the onlyWithMobGriefingGamerule config option do?
When set to true (default), the mod only protects items if mobGriefing is false. When set to false, items are always protected from creeper explosions regardless of the gamerule setting.
Does this mod affect items in containers like chests?
No, this mod only affects items lying loose on the ground. Items stored in chests, furnaces, or other containers are already safe from explosions.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, this mod works on both single-player and multiplayer servers. All players will benefit from the item protection when the mod is installed server-side.
Does this mod work with other mods that change creeper behavior?
This mod should be compatible with most other mods, but conflicts may occur if another mod also modifies creeper explosion mechanics. Test your mod combination in a world to verify compatibility.
What happens to items if a creeper explodes near my base while I'm away?
If mobGriefing is false and the mod is active, your dropped items will remain on the ground untouched. However, the terrain and blocks will still be damaged by the explosion.
Can I disable this mod's protection for specific situations?
You can control the mod's behavior through the mobGriefing gamerule or by adjusting the onlyWithMobGriefingGamerule config option. There is no per-area or per-player configuration available.
