Configuration
New game rules can be modified like any vanilla game rule and are enabled by default.
Behaviors covered by the broad game rules can be individually toggled using override rules, e.g. convenient_mobgriefing:lenient_griefing.override.mobs_pick_up_items controls whether mobs can pick up items.
Override rules have three possible values:
default: the override is inactive, i.e. the behavior is controlled by its base rule (convenient_mobgriefing:lenient_griefingin the previous example)true: the behavior is enabled independently of its base rulefalse: the behavior is disabled independently of its base rule
