Understand What Still Gets Destroyed in Creeper Explosions
What the Mod Does NOT Protect
Lenient Creepers Mod has a specific purpose: it only prevents items on the ground from disappearing. Many other things are still affected by creeper explosions.
Still Destroyed or Damaged
Blocks: Terrain, buildings, and structures are still destroyed by creeper blasts (unless mobGriefing is disabled)
Player Health: You still take damage from the explosion
Entities: Other mobs and animals can still be harmed
Ongoing Mechanics: Fire, knockback, and other explosion effects still occur normally
Items That ARE Protected
Only items already dropped on the ground are safe. This includes:
- Mined blocks converted to items
- Dropped inventory items
- Items from broken containers
Planning Your Defenses
Don't rely solely on this mod for protection. Still use:
- Armor and shields for personal safety
- Walls and barriers for base defense
- Distance and positioning to avoid explosions
- The
mobGriefinggamerule if you want to disable all mob destruction
