No griefing, creepers!

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

Minecraft 1.20–1.20.4Newest
Minecraft 1.19–1.19.4
Minecraft 1.18–1.18.2

⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.4 ⬇ Download for 1.19–1.19.4 ⬇ Download for 1.18–1.18.2

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This datapack disables creeper griefing without needing to disable mobGriefing.

Why not disable `mobGriefing`?

Disabling mobGriefing comes with several disadvantages, such as:

Blaze fireballs creating fire
Rabbits eating crops
Sheep eating grass blocks
Silverfish calling for help out of nearby blocks destroying said blocks
Silverfish hiding in stone (Silverfish will not reinhabit stone blocks after roaming)
Snowmen leaving snow traces
Villagers harvesting/replanting farmland
Villagers not being able to pick up bread
etc.

This datapack only disables creeper griefing without disabling any of those other things.

Setting up this datapack

Download the release for your Minecraft version.
Select your world, click "Edit", then "Open world folder".
Put the .zip file in the /datapacks folder.
Join your world.

Setting up this datapack for servers

Open your /world folder. (or whatever your world is called)
Put the .zip file in the /datapacks folder.
Restart your server. (Why shouldn't I reload?)

Realms is an unsupported platform. Your mileage may vary.

Uninstallation

Simply removing the datapack from your /datapacks folder is not recommended. Please follow the following steps carefully.

* Make sure you are OP, or you get an OP to do it.

Run /function no_griefing_creepers:uninstall
Go into your world's folder, and remove the datapack.
Rejoin your singleplayer world, or restart your server. (Why shouldn't I reload?)
