RE: Creeper Griefing Partial Solution

Hey, Pix and Joel,

Greetings from a Java Edition Realm operator. (Not the owner).

In Episode 56, you mentioned that a server group would like to to creeper-proof spawn area, and i have a similar problem on our Realm. We only want Creepers and Endermen to be non-griefing. For Endermen, we simply use the VanillaTweaks data pack. However, for Creepers, we have the same problems Pixlriffs mentioned; we want them to deal explosion damage to the player but not blow up terrain.

After looking up tons of information online, we finally found a semi-decent solution. I learned how to code with scoreboards and put down four command blocks in the spawn chunks. Those command blocks set ‘mobGriefing’ to true or false depending on whether there is a creepers within a few block radius of any player. It still has its limits. It can’t do anything about skeletons shooting creepers.

After all this, I really like the idea of separating mob griefing options out for different types of mobs.

RE: Community

I am a huge fan of this amazing show. I can really see the Minecraft community but I was wondering how you think I should create a community among my friends. I only play on Java, but most of my friends play on console or Windows.

How can I connect with them besides talking about news and updates and other game things?

Thanks
