Anti Enderman Grief Mod/Datapack/Plugin

This datapack introduces a simple yet effective system that prevents Endermen from placing or removing blocks in the world. Designed to maintain the integrity of your builds, this feature ensures that Endermen no longer cause unwanted changes to the environment. 

Be warned that the mod is simply a wrapper done through Modrinth, if you want the lightest version, just use the datapack. It can be ran on worlds running mods.

The original derex smp, during the COVID years, also ran a version of this datapack from VanillaTweaks.
