Fine-grained control over creeper explosions โ block damage, blast radius, entity & player damage, block protection, Y-g
๐งจ CreeperConduct
Creeper-specific explosion control for Paper, Spigot & Folia. A precise, configurable alternative to the all-or-nothing
mobGriefinggamerule โ rein in creepers without touching TNT, withers, ghasts, or end crystals.
โจ Overview
By default, creepers still hurt mobs and players but break zero blocks.
Everything beyond that is opt-in through a single, heavily-commented config.yml,
reloadable live with /creeperconduct reload.
๐ข Only creepers โ normal and charged โ are affected. ๐ด TNT, ghasts, withers, and end crystals behave exactly like vanilla.
๐งฉ Features
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| ๐ซ Block protection | Master toggle โ creepers deal damage but leave terrain intact (default). |
| ๐ฅ Entity damage | Separate player and mob multipliers. 0 = immune (also shields dropped items). |
| ๐ Blast radius | Scale explosion size, with per-type caps and an always-on 4ร hard ceiling. |
| ๐ก๏ธ Protected blocks | Whitelist materials that never break (chests, barrels, shulkers, spawners, beaconsโฆ). |
| ๐ Y-gating | Only allow block damage within a min-y โฆ max-y band (protect builds, free caves). |
| ๐ฉน Crater healing | Auto-restore destroyed blocks after a delay โ bottom-up, physics-safe, never overwrites player rebuilds. |
| ๐ Per-world | Global default plus per-world overrides; disabled worlds get vanilla creepers. |
๐ฉน Folia-ready
Crater healing runs on a region-aware scheduler, so CreeperConduct works correctly on
Folia's threaded regions and behaves identically on Paper and Spigot โ one jar, all three
platforms. Declares folia-supported, so Folia loads it natively. Validated on real Paper,
Spigot, and Folia 26.1.2 servers (load + block-break + crater-heal all pass).
On Hangar, Folia ships under the Paper platform, so this download serves Paper and Folia users.
โ๏ธ Config examples
Drop any of these into plugins/CreeperConduct/config.yml, then run /creeperconduct reload.
Every key is optional โ anything you omit falls back to its default.
1. Default โ creepers hurt, but never grief (out of the box):
break-blocks: false
2. Self-healing craters โ let creepers blow holes, then repair them:
break-blocks: true
heal:
enabled: true
delay-seconds: 30 # wait before rebuilding
restore-batch-size: 16 # blocks per restore tick
3. Softer creepers โ smaller blasts, half damage:
break-blocks: true
entity-damage:
enabled: true
mob-multiplier: 0.5
player-multiplier: 0.5
radius:
enabled: true
multiplier: 0.5 # half-size explosions
max-charged: 8 # hard cap for charged creepers
4. Protect the surface, leave caves alone โ only break below sea level:
break-blocks: true
y-gating:
enabled: true
min-y: -64
max-y: 62
protected-blocks:
enabled: true
materials: [CHEST, BARREL, SHULKER_BOX, SPAWNER, BEACON, ENDER_CHEST]
5. Per-world โ vanilla creepers everywhere except your survival world:
worlds:
default: true # CreeperConduct rules apply by default
world_pvp: false # this world gets vanilla creepers
