Plugin NoBoom

NoBoom, focused creeper protection

NoBoom is a lightweight Minecraft server plugin for Bukkit and Spigot environments that does one job: it prevents creeper explosions from breaking blocks. Creepers remain dangerous, however, because players and other entities can still take explosion damage, preserving tension during survival gameplay.

Designed for smaller servers, NoBoom offers a focused alternative to the mobGriefing gamerule, which can also affect villager item handling and breeding. There is no configuration system, keeping its footprint and impact minimal. BoxToPlay presents it as a straightforward way to protect builds without adding broader protection features. The project’s listing identifies Minecraft 1.18 as native and versions 1.14 through 1.18 as tested.
