Mob Explosion Griefing Gamerule Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn off Creeper explosions from breaking blocks?
Type `/gamerule mob_explosion_griefing:creeper_griefing false` in chat. Creepers will still explode and deal damage, but won't destroy any blocks in your world.
Can I disable mob griefing for just one mob type?
Yes, that's the main feature of this mod. You can control Creepers, Ghasts, Withers, Endermen, and door-breaking separately using individual gamerules instead of turning off all mob griefing at once.
What's the difference between mob_explosion_griefing and creeper_griefing?
`mob_explosion_griefing` is the main switch that affects most explosion-based mobs (except the Wither), while `creeper_griefing` controls only Creepers. You can use either one depending on your needs.
Do I need to restart my world after changing a gamerule?
No, gamerule changes take effect immediately in chat. You don't need to restart your server or world.
Can Endermen still place blocks if I disable enderman_griefing?
No, setting `/gamerule mob_explosion_griefing:enderman_griefing false` stops Endermen from both picking up and placing blocks.
Will the Wither still destroy blocks if I turn off mob_explosion_griefing?
Yes, the main `mob_explosion_griefing` rule doesn't affect the Wither. Use `/gamerule mob_explosion_griefing:wither_griefing false` to stop Wither damage specifically.
Does door_breaking_griefing work on all difficulties?
Yes, when you disable door-breaking with `/gamerule mob_explosion_griefing:door_breaking_griefing false`, mobs cannot break doors regardless of game difficulty.
What does step_and_destroy_goal do?
This gamerule stops mobs like Zombies from pathfinding to and destroying blocks they walk on, such as Turtle Eggs. Disable it to prevent this specific mob behavior.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, this mod works on servers and protects all players' creations equally when you set the gamerules.
If I disable ghast_griefing, will Ghasts still start fires?
No, `/gamerule mob_explosion_griefing:ghast_griefing false` stops Ghast fireballs from both destroying blocks and starting fires.
