Goatman Blacklist Utility
Goatman Blacklist Utility is a Minecraft datapack for Java Edition 1.20.1, designed for the Goatman mod by Llamii_Llama. Once the creature is defeated, it permanently blacklists him from the world, giving the encounter the weight of a true miniboss battle rather than a recurring threat.The datapack removes existing Goatmen and continuously prevents new spawns, with its state preserved through reloads and departures.

We recommend it for any Minecraft server seeking a more structured horror adventure with BoxToPlay.
XPTNT
XPTNT is a Minecraft datapack that turns every experience orb into a piece of lit TNT.
