Enderman Grief Control

Enderman Grief Control stops Endermen from picking up or placing blocks without disabling mobGriefing for the rest of your world.

It affects only Endermen, preventing new persistent block-carrying Endermen while leaving other vanilla mob behavior unchanged.

Why use Enderman Grief Control?

• Endermen only: Keep the fix focused on the mob causing the problem.
• Pickup and placement blocked: Prevent Endermen from taking blocks or placing carried blocks back into the world.
• No global gamerule tradeoff: Leave mobGriefing enabled for farms, villagers, sheep, and other mechanics that rely on it.
• Persistent carrier prevention: Stop new block-carrying Endermen from being created and building up over time.
