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 is a simple mod to allow configurable mobs / entities to pass the mobGriefing gamerule when mobGriefing is set to false.

The default allowlist is "minecraft:villager".
This mod does not alter in anyway how mobGriefing is used by any mob or entity, the only thing is does ti allow certain mobs to pass the check.

The reason for this villagers being the default is that with mobGriefing = false, it is not possible for them to pickup items and therefore cannot breed Villager - Minecraft Wiki
