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 Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.17.1Newest
Minecraft 1.16.5

⬇ Download for 1.17.1 ⬇ Download for 1.16.5

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.

Ever wanted to disable creeper holes while allowing your villager breeders to keep working?

Ever wanted to stop ghasts destroying your bridges while still letting your pet enderman gather grass for you?

Or even stop the enderman ruining your fields, stop withers breaking your mine, but keep the simple creeper explosions and zombie door takedowns?

Never fear, the perfect mod is here!

No Creeper Holes! Is a mod for fabric 1.16.x - 1.17.x which adds eight new gamerules: creeperGriefing, creeperFire, ghastGriefing, ghastFire, endermanGriefing, witherGriefing, witherSpawnFire, and witherSkullFire, which allows you to specifically toggle creeper, ghast, enderman, and wither mob griefing when the general mob griefing gamerule is enabled.

The "fire" gamerules allow you to change whether certain explosions will create fire.

Please keep in mind that the gamerules are set to the minecraft defaults by default (e.g. creeper explosions will create holes in the default settings), and you will need to change these gamerules through the /gamerule command.

Requires Fabric API
