# Archived<\/p>\n
GG has been archived so I can stay focused on a smaller amount of mods for now. Given modern versions now have data-driven rules, and the ugliness of GG’s client code it would make more sense to be a rewrite in the future.<\/p>\n
# \ud83c\udf0d Granular Gamerules<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Grants you more control over the vanilla game rule system by:<\/p>\n
– Breaking up some of Minecraft’s most overloaded game rules, such as `mobGriefing`, `doMobSpawning` or `universalAnger`, into deferrable sub-rules.
\n– Adding smaller utility rules such as turning off thunder or removing underground players from the sleep vote.
\n– On dedicated servers, allowing some common properties in `server.properties` to be changed via fake game rules, such as `pvp` or `enableCommandBlock`.<\/p>\n
These are all done in a way that doesn’t break datapacks, mods or server plugins that change game rules, while letting you ‘pin’ features on or off.<\/p>\n
There are 37 new sub-rules, 3 miscellaneous rules and 8 `server.properties` rules; for a full description of each see the Wiki.<\/p>\n – mobGriefing ## \ud83d\udecc New Miscellaneous Rules<\/p>\n **Granular Gamerules** adds a couple new rules you might find yourself wanting:<\/p>\n – Removing underground players from the sleep vote – no longer prevented from sleeping due to miners. These are disabled by default, and details are available on the wiki.<\/p>\n ## \ud83d\udda5\ufe0f Dedicated Server Rules<\/p>\n You may have setup a dedicated server and realised you forgot to change some settings in `server.properties`. **Granular Gamerules** lets you change several of these in-game via psuedo-gamerules:<\/p>\n – `pvp` These are backed by the actual `server.properties` file, and will update the file on change.<\/p>\n ## \ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udc67\u200d\ud83d\udc66 Sub-Rules (Datapack & Server Plugin backwards compatibility)<\/p>\n Granular Gamrules lets you change parts of gamerules when you need them. Other parts will follow the parent gamerule until they are changed.<\/p>\n For example, if you wanted to specifically stop creepers blowing up blocks, you’d use `\/gamerule mobGriefing\/creepersDestroyBlocks false`. Other mobGriefing sub-rules such as Zombies breaking doors, will follow the parent `\/gamerule mobGriefing` until changed. <\/p>\n # \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Install & Requirements<\/p>\n Can work server-side only, in the case of dedicated servers.<\/p>\n **Granular Gamerules** requires Fabric API and YACL, and should be good to add or remove to an existing world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Breaks up some of the most overloaded Game Rules such as mobGriefing into individual features.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":77533,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"granular-gamerules","_minecraft_project_id":"YFUweSka","_minecraft_author":"JackFred","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":1827,"_minecraft_follows":24,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"granular-gamerules.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":18678350,"_minecraft_version_count":10,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-17T00:10:43.843406Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2024-09-22T04:08:04.779821Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-05-06T03:12:45.327030Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/granular-gamerules","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":77533,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-04T11:25:36+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"e3d3c727fb28b4c8fd1538e4c05f4014","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[97,89,126,98,92],"mod_loader":[99,100],"minecraft_version":[62,37,73,74,38,78],"class_list":["post-77532","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-management","mod_category-quilt","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-quilt","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5"],"yoast_head":"\nFull list of rules<\/summary>\n
