About this Mod
BlockBlock is a mod that allows for restricting of things. It's meant to allow modpack creators to progressively unlock things for the player, but it will also work for server staff to prevent players from doing certain actions.
You can lock:
- Breaking of blocks
- Placement of blocks
- Interacting with blocks
- Interacting with entities
- Entity drops
- Crafting recipes
- Usage of items
It's possible for a vanilla client to join a server using this mod. However, it is recommended to install the mod on the client too. If you don't, you will miss out on client-side features like tooltips, but it will also cause more visual 'bugs'. For example, if placement is locked, it will pop in and out of existence really fast, which does not happen if the client has the mod installed.

BlockBlock server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is BlockBlock compatible with fabric?
BlockBlock officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with BlockBlock – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BlockBlock consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
