Block Blocker [Fabric]

REQUIRES FABRIC API AND CLOTH CONFIG

In the world of Minecraft modding, there are situations where it's necessary to completely prevent players from breaking or placing specific blocks. This mod offers a flexible configuration system that allows server administrators to define lists of blocks that will be protected from any manipulation.

Main Features

Imagine a scenario: in some versions of the "Ice and Fire" mod, there's a special block - a pixie house that generates in the world. Attempting to break it causes both the game and server to crash immediately. To avoid this problem, simply add this block's identifier to the Block Blocker configuration and restart the server. After this, no one will be able to destroy the dangerous block.

The configuration allows flexible customization of behavior:

• List of blocks that cannot be broken
• List of blocks that cannot be placed in the world

Practical Applications

For hardcore modpacks: If you're creating a challenging modpack and want to add extra difficulty, you can prohibit breaking common blocks like stone, gravel, or sand, making them almost as durable as bedrock.

For aesthetic control: You can forbid placing certain blocks that ruin the world's appearance. For example, prevent the creation of dirt towers or uncontrolled placement of lava sources.

Technical Features

The mod is compatible with Fabric and works on the server side, although it can also be installed on the client - this is especially convenient for LAN play or through Hamachi.

Example configuration file:

{
  "blocked_break": ["minecraft:dirt", "iceandfire:pixie_house"],
  "blocked_place": ["minecraft:lava", "minecraft:tnt"]
}

Limitations

The mod does not block fluid placement - for this task, it's recommended to use specialized modifications like No Lava Bucketing.

The current version doesn't support entities and NBT block data. Such functionality may be added in future updates.

Modpacks and Reviews

The mod can be freely used in any packs and modpacks. A link to the original page is appreciated but not required.
