No Enderman Grief Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything to activate this data pack or does it work automatically?
Once the data pack is loaded into your world, it works automatically—no commands or setup required. Endermen will immediately stop picking up blocks without any additional configuration.
Will Endermen still teleport and attack me even though they can't pick up blocks?
Yes, Endermen will still teleport, chase you, and deal damage normally. This data pack only prevents them from picking up blocks; their combat behavior is unchanged.
Does this data pack affect other mobs or just Endermen?
This data pack affects only Endermen. Other mobs like Creepers, Withers, and Piglins behave exactly as they normally would.
Can I use this data pack in a multiplayer survival server?
Yes, this data pack works in multiplayer survival. All players on the server will benefit from the protection against Enderman block theft.
What happens if I remove the data pack—do Endermen go back to picking up blocks?
Yes, once you remove the data pack, Endermen will resume their normal behavior of picking up blocks on your next world load.
Does this data pack work with other building-focused data packs?
This data pack should work alongside most other data packs, but if you're using multiple packs that modify Enderman behavior, check for conflicts in your world settings.
Will this data pack affect performance or cause lag?
No, this data pack is lightweight and should not cause any noticeable performance impact on your game.
Can Endermen still pick up blocks if I'm not looking at them?
No, this data pack prevents Endermen from picking up blocks regardless of whether you're looking at them or not.
Does this work in the Nether and End dimensions too?
Yes, Endermen are prevented from picking up blocks in all dimensions—the Overworld, Nether, and End.
If I find an Enderman holding a block, will it drop it when the data pack loads?
The data pack prevents future block pickups; blocks already held by Endermen before the pack was loaded will remain until that Enderman despawns or is killed.
