Datapack Enderman Grief

Enderman Grief, protect your Minecraft server

Enderman Grief is a lightweight Minecraft Java datapack that stops Endermen from picking up and placing almost every block, helping preserve terrain, farms, paths, and carefully built structures. It changes this specific mob behavior without disabling other forms of mob griefing, so villagers, crops, and related mechanics continue to work normally.

Melons and pumpkins remain available as intentional exceptions, which is useful for themed builds or Enderman farms. Designed for Minecraft 1.21 and later, the datapack works in singleplayer and multiplayer without mods or plugins. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for any Minecraft server seeking a simple, vanilla friendly way to reduce unwanted damage while keeping Endermen part of the gameplay.
