MobGuard

# MobGuard MobGuard is for mob grief prevention and spawn control. It stops common problems like creeper block damage, ghast fire spam, wither block breaking, and enderman block moving, while still letting mobs feel like mobs. It also adds spawn rules per world, height limits per mob, portal blocking for mobs, projectile blocking, drop control, and XP control.! !(https://www.davids-repo.dev/mc/mobguard.gif) A lot of people try to solve this with the mobGriefing gamerule, but that can break villager behavior and other game systems. MobGuard is more targeted, so you can block the bad stuff without turning off everything that depends on mobGriefing. ## What this for MobGuard is for servers that want mobs, but do not want mobs to ruin builds, cause lag, or mess up farms. Common setups - Creepers still hurt players, but do not destroy blocks - Ghasts and blazes stop lighting the world on fire - Endermen stop picking up and placing blocks - Hostile mob spawns get blocked in certain worlds or at certain heights - Drops and XP get adjusted for specific mobs ## Features ### Stop mob grief and block damage - Block creeper block damage - Block creeper explosions completely - Stop creepers from becoming charged by lightning - Block ghast fireball block damage - Stop ghast fire from starting - Block blaze fire ignite - Block wither skull block damage - Block wither block breaking - Stop wither fire ignite - Block ender dragon block breaking - Stop endermen from moving blocks - Stop endermen teleporting - Stop shulkers teleporting - Block ravager griefing - Block zombie door breaking for zombie, husk, drowned, zombie villager - Stop magma cubes from splitting - Stop slimes from splitting - Optional debug logging ### Control mob combat and targeting - Block mob projectiles like arrows, tridents, fireballs, potions - Use an empty list to apply to all non player shooters - Use a list to apply only to selected mob types - Stop hostile mobs from targeting players - Stop hostile mobs from targeting villagers and wandering traders ### Control items and portals - Stop mobs from picking up items - Apply to all mobs or only selected mob types - Stop mobs from dropping items they picked up - Mostly armor and held items - Stop mobs from using nether portals and end portals - Apply to all mobs or only selected mob types ### Control blocks and redstone - Stop mobs from trampling farmland - Stop mobs from activating pressure plates - Stop silverfish from infesting blocks ### Player safety helpers - Block ender pearl teleport - Block ender pearl teleport damage ### Raids and zombie rules - Stop raids from starting - Block baby zombies, including baby husk, drowned, zombie villager - Block zombie reinforcement spawns ### Burning rules - Prevent burning for selected mobs - Force burning on spawn for selected mobs with a custom burn time ### Spawn control by world and by height Spawn control can block spawns based on world rules and per mob height rules. Main spawn options - Enable or disable spawn blocking - Allow command spawns so /summon and plugin spawns still work - Choose which spawn reasons to block - Natural spawns - Spawner spawns - Egg spawns - Clean new chunks by removing blocked hostile mobs that already exist in brand new chunks World rules - Separate sections for overworld, nether, end - Option to block all hostile mobs in a world - Option to block only the hostile mobs you list - Per mob height limits with minimum-y-height and maximum-y-height ### Drop control and XP control MobGuard can override drops and XP on death. For each mob you can do these things - Clear default drops first - Remove specific materials from normal drops - Add extra drops with min, max, and chance - Override XP with min, max, and chance Drop and XP notes - Chance is a percent from 0.0 to 100.0 - If chance is missing, it is treated as 100 - Looting can increase the added drop amount ## Compatibility - Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11 - Paper, Folia, Purpur, Leaf ## Install 1. Download the jar from the MobGuard page on this site. 2. Put it into your server plugins folder. 3. Start the server once to generate plugins/MobGuard/config.yml. 4. Edit the config. 5. Restart the server to apply changes. ## Config quick tips - EntityType names are usually ALL CAPS like ZOMBIE or WITHER_SKELETON - Material names are usually ALL CAPS like IRON_INGOT or GUNPOWDER - Spawn control is split by world with world, nether, end sections - Height rules use minimum-y-height and maximum-y-height and they are inclusive ## Example block mob portals for nether offenders ```yml portal-control: enabled: true blocked-types: ``` ## Example block mob projectiles only for a few shooters ```yml projectile-control: enabled: true blocked-shooters: ``` ## Example height limit magma cubes in the nether ```yml spawn-co
