AntiCreeper
AntiCreeper
- Tired of rebuilding every building in your server, because those green things ruin them all the time?
- Tired of filling in all the explosion-created holes? Wish you could tell people to do it themselves?
- And also you hate the mods which make the creepers just walk around without doing anything to the players?
- Do you have a nether paradise? Do you hate the fireball spitting ghasts or players exploding beds?
- Too much grief with TNT?
- Those missing or randomly placed blocks from endermen triggering your OCD?
- Having fun with fireballs but don't like the fire? Or want creepers to burn stuff too?
- That huge hole left by Wither boss got you down?
- AntiCreeper config.yml too confusing for you?
- Want to spawn an Enderdragon but don't like the wholesale destruction?
If You say yes to just one of the questions, then this plugin is for You!
This plugin by Filbert66, though its roots come from @Rothens.
Features
- Cancels creeper environment-destroying behavior.
- or optionally allows it but can leave 100% of destroyed blocks, allowing easy rebuilding.
- and/or configure a height below which it is allowed, or alternatively above which it is allowed.
- and/or define a list of blocks that are (the only/NOT) affected
- and optionally disable sound & smoke or player damage, if you really want to
- and selectively configure which entities receive damage or not.
- Cancels TNT, Fireballs, Wither explosions, ender crystal, unknown explosions (from other plugins) with all of same options as for creepers, above
- optional different configuration for wither skulls and TNT minecarts.
- But can damage the players in all cases! (you can now control this, too)
- Cancel various enderman behaviors, including block pickups, or just put-downs.
- with configurable white/blacklist!
- cancel damage caused by lightning (for you spell-makers out there).
- disable Wither & Ender Dragon moving through and damaging blocks
- both support configurable blocklists
- Detailed configuration now available!
- Multi-world support; [In 4.17] you can now turn off Anticreeper's behavior for certain explosions in certain worlds.
- In-game commands to query, set, and save configuration items
- allows testing config changes without making them permanent
- save configs to disk without every manually editing config.yml.
- disable exploding beds in the nether
- Override explosion power to strengthen/weaken each explosion type
- Option to throw destroyed blocks a distance based on proximity to explosion center; or, throw whole blocks and they get placed around [n 4.18].
- Supports multiple languages on all player messages
- See Languages and Translations page for details.
mobGriefing rule not the same
I hope you see that this does much more than the mobGriefing game rule. Yes, it's almost the same as the default Anticreeper config, but not the same. In fact, this plugin started because it seemed incorrect that creepers can't blow up blocks when in the deep dark, mining. See my comment on this for an equivalent Anticreeper config.
Anticreeper allows you to do more, including fine-tune what/who gets damaged from explosions, at what height/depth you need to be to cause block damage, create protected block types, allow damage from one mob explosion but not another, and lastly but perhaps most significantly, nerf TNT damage which mobGriefing does nothing about!
Configuration Description & Hints
Please READ THIS LINKED PAGE FIRST before you post here with problems.
Still Not Working for you?
Most common error is misspelling your world name. Log into your world and execute these commands in game:
ac world ac world on ac save
First tells you if you had it on in that world. Second activates it, just to make sure. Third saves it so it sticks.
Commands and Permissions
Details about in-game commands and associated permissions are found here.

filbert66 please could you add protection for unknown explosion causes.... when using moddamage targeteffect.explode it doesnt protect against this type of custom explosion.
An example of plugin that used to protect against unknown explosions was creepercontrol
@xMinecraft I have uploaded a new version that should work for those of you who use Development builds, 4.8. It handles TNT mine carts the same as TNT right now. It also has a new feature, block physics, for which I would appreciate some people sending me some test reports
I use CB #2717 and the tnt minecart continues to operate
I hear you, school and work have gotten me pinned lol
@Xxswordcross
Hi, working on it, but have been very busy with life
Gotta update!! TNT minecarts cause massive damages.
Plugin still works well, however it needs to be updated for the new 1.5 TNT minecarts as they will explode blocks.
huhuhu ši šííí! Must dead! :) Please update :D
ability to enable tntcart damage but disable tnt damage still maybe?
@MrKubajz007
Been working on adding functionality, but didn't expect to have to do anything for 1.5.
What do you mean by "trucks with TNT's gain"? I know TNT can now be in a minecart, but what functionality are you expecting of AntiCreeper?
Hi, I just want to ask if early released update to 1.5 as trucks with TNT's gain.
@filbert66
So awesome! Thank you so much
@Psyrick
Added nerf_*.power. Have fun, but beware of setting TNT so big that you can't run away after setting it off! Early release can be
@filbert66
Perfect! Thank you very much filbert66. :)
@filbert66
Everything works fine, thank you :)

I have prepared a Java 1.6 compiled version, called 4.6.1, which you can get here. Please let me know if it works for you.
Same problem here. I'm running my bukkit server on a friend's ubuntu 10.4 machine and you can't install java 7 / 1.7 there. A java 6 / 1.6 recompile would be awesome.
@filbert66
Good morning. I'm using:
Java version 1.6.0_24
@whitechristmas
Hmm... This version was compiled with Java 1.7.0_10; all previous are 1.6. I think that may be it. What version are you using? (run "java -version") I will recompile with 1.6 and post a bugfix version.
@Psyrick
Good idea. That'd be easy. I thought of it a long time ago but never got around to it.
