Protect Your Builds from Enderman Block Theft

Understanding Enderman Block Pickup

Without this data pack, Endermen randomly pick up certain blocks—typically dirt, grass, sand, gravel, and mycelium—and place them elsewhere, causing unwanted changes to your landscape. This can ruin terraforming, gardens, and outdoor builds.

How This Data Pack Helps

By disabling Enderman block pickup entirely, your builds stay safe:

1. Outdoor structures remain unchanged, even if Endermen spawn nearby

2. Terraformed landscapes keep their intended shape

3. No mysterious blocks appear or disappear from your world

4. You can focus on building without worrying about Enderman interference

This is especially valuable for large-scale projects, custom terrain, and survival worlds where you want consistency. The data pack works automatically—simply having it enabled in your world prevents all Enderman griefing without requiring any configuration or player action.
