Protect Monsters is a server-side or singleplayer mod that allows you to make monsters invincible by using a name tag on them. If you've ever wanted to keep a pet monster forever, now you can! Make the Warden invincible and allow them to wreak havoc. Keep monsters safe when they are crucial to your farm. Name an Enderman and then you can hang out with them forever without worrying about them hurting in the rain. Keep your pet Zoglin safe. Whenever you've wanted to keep a monster safe from damage, now you can do so easily with just a name tag!
