A lightweight Fabric mod that prevents explosions from damaging blocks in your server or single-player world.
About this Mod
Blastproof
Easily prevent explosions from damaging blocks or starting fires in your Fabric server or single-player world.
Blastproof ensures explosions from TNT, creepers, end crystals, and other sources won't damage your hard work. Whether you're building cities or simply protecting your creations, Blastproof helps maintain the integrity of your world.
💡 Why I Created Blastproof
I developed Blastproof because I wanted to run a modded Fabric server but couldn't find an up-to-date mod to disable block damage from blocks not covered through vanilla gamerules (beds, respawn anchors, etc.), which can potentially ruin builds in the overworld. I also wanted to have TNT enabled (normally disabled with the
tntExplodesgamerule set tofalse), but didn't want to break anything! Blastproof addresses this gap, providing easy control over explosion damage and fire creation. This mod is ideal for players who want to preserve all features thatmobGriefing falsedisables (such as endermen picking up blocks), but still prevent explosions from damaging builds.

mobGriefingwon't conflict with Blastproof but rather serve as an additional layer of protection.Entity Damage Preservation: Entities still receive damage from explosions; only blocks are protected to prevent griefing.
