Detailed 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?
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.

Features
  • Cancels creeper environment-destroying behavior.
    • or optionally allows it but can leave 100% of destroyed blocks, allowing easy rebuilding.
    • and/or configure a height below which it is allowed, or alternatively above which it is allowed.
    • and/or define a list of blocks that are (the only/NOT) affected
    • and optionally disable sound & smoke or player damage, if you really want to
    • and selectively configure which entities receive damage or not.
  • Cancels TNT, Fireballs, Wither explosions, ender crystal, unknown explosions (from other plugins) with all of same options as for creepers, above
    • optional different configuration for wither skulls and TNT minecarts.
  • But can damage the players in all cases! (you can now control this, too)
  • Cancel various enderman behaviors, including block pickups, or just put-downs.
    • with configurable white/blacklist!
  • cancel damage caused by lightning (for you spell-makers out there).
  • disable Wither & Ender Dragon moving through and damaging blocks
    • both support configurable blocklists
  • Detailed configuration now available!
  • Multi-world support; [In 4.17] you can now turn off Anticreeper's behavior for certain explosions in certain worlds.
  • In-game commands to query, set, and save configuration items
    • allows testing config changes without making them permanent
    • save configs to disk without every manually editing config.yml.
  • disable exploding beds in the nether
  • Override explosion power to strengthen/weaken each explosion type
  • Option to throw destroyed blocks a distance based on proximity to explosion center; or, throw whole blocks and they get placed around [n 4.18].
  • Supports multiple languages on all player messages
