Configure When Items Should Be Protected from Explosions
Understanding the Configuration Option
The mod includes a setting called onlyWithMobGriefingGamerule that controls how strictly item protection works. This determines whether the mod's protection depends on your world's mobGriefing gamerule.
Two Configuration Modes
Mode 1: Linked to mobGriefing (default)
- Setting:
onlyWithMobGriefingGamerule = true - Items are protected ONLY when
mobGriefingis set tofalse - When
mobGriefingistrue, creepers destroy both blocks and items normally - Use this if you want item protection only in peaceful or restricted gameplay
Mode 2: Always Protect Items
- Setting:
onlyWithMobGriefingGamerule = false - Items are always protected from creeper explosions
- Blocks still get destroyed if
mobGriefingis enabled - Use this for maximum item safety while keeping environmental destruction
Changing Your Setting
Locate the mod's configuration file and adjust onlyWithMobGriefingGamerule to match your preferred playstyle, then restart your game.
