Stop Endermen from stealing and placing blocks without disabling vanilla mobGriefing rules.

Report Enderman-Grief-Control?

Enderman Grief Control stops Endermen from picking up or placing blocks without disabling mobGriefing for the rest of your world.

It affects only Endermen, preventing new persistent block-carrying Endermen while leaving other vanilla mob behavior unchanged.

Why use Enderman Grief Control?

  • Endermen only: Keep the fix focused on the mob causing the problem.
  • Pickup and placement blocked: Prevent Endermen from taking blocks or placing carried blocks back into the world.
  • No global gamerule tradeoff: Leave mobGriefing enabled for farms, villagers, sheep, and other mechanics that rely on it.
  • Persistent carrier prevention: Stop new block-carrying Endermen from being created and building up over time.
