# \ud83d\udca3 ExplosionProtector addon for CoreProtect<\/p>\n
**Protect your players\u2019 builds from unwanted explosions**
\nA lightweight Spigot\/Paper plugin that uses CoreProtect to prevent explosions from destroying blocks placed by players.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \ud83e\udde0 Description<\/p>\n
`ExplosionProtector` hooks into all types of explosions (TNT, creeper, ender crystal, bed\/respawn-anchor explosions, etc.) and checks each affected block\u2019s origin via the CoreProtect API.
\n– **Player-placed blocks** are protected and remain intact.
\n– **All other blocks** (natural terrain, plugin-placed, etc.) are destroyed as normal.
\n– **TNT chain reactions** are still allowed: TNT will break TNT and natural blocks, but any player-placed block in the blast radius remains safe.<\/p>\n
This is ideal for:
\n– PvE or Creative servers where you want to preserve player builds.
\n– Minigame or adventure maps that use TNT but need to protect certain structures.
\n– Any world where accidental or malicious explosions should not ruin player work.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
