About AntiCreeper
From SpigotMCDetailed controls over explosions and griefing
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?
- Wish explosions were more or less powerful?
- Wish creepers still blew up blocks underground?
- 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?
- Want to spawn an Enderdragon but don't like the wholesale destruction?
This plugin by Filbert66, though its roots come from @Rothens.
Features
