Anti-Block Grief

[mellow garnet]

For whatever reason, I can't find any mods for 1.21.4 that accomplish simply preventing creepers from blowing up blocks, while still damaging players.

This is an extremely useful mod, at least to me, and if anyone could make it, I'd be extremely grateful.

If it's not much more difficult, it would also be cool to have the ability to disable enderman and ghast griefing, but the main one is creepers.

isnt that a gamerule?

Yeah, it's a gamerule.

The same gamerule controls enderman and ghasts too, I think.

mobGriefing disables important game mechanics as well, such as villager conversing and piglin trading.

mobGriefing doesn't differentiate specifically destructive mob actions, for some reason

Interesting, I didn’t know that. I’ve never turned it off.

Yeah; personally, I generally play with everything enabled, but I play with a group that prefers to have stuff like that disabled, so a rogue creeper doesn't destroy someone's hard work.

But there aren't any mods for it (at least that I can find, for 1.21.4), so I'm hoping someone would be willing to make one.🤞

Looks like it wouldn't be that hard; add one gamerule, add one mixin to Creeper.explodeCreeper() to change the ExplosionInteraction.
