# \ud83d\udca5 Smarter Creeper Anti-Grief<\/p>\n

This datapack makes Creeper explosions smarter by preventing world damage while keeping all vanilla explosion mechanics intact.<\/p>\n

## \u2728 Features
\n– **No Block Damage:** Creeper explosions no longer destroy terrain or player builds.
\n– **Vanilla Damage:** Entities still take the same amount of damage as in vanilla Minecraft.
\n– **Charged Creepers:** Charged Creepers still cause mobs to drop their heads.
\n– **Seamless Visuals:** Explosions look exactly like normal Creeper blasts \u2014 just without the mess.
\n– **Smart System:** Works even when `mobGriefing` is set to `true`, thanks to a custom explosion handler.<\/p>\n

\u26a0\ufe0f IMPORTANT: USAGE GUIDELINES
