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.

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.
