What it does
With false, creeper and ghast explosions no longer break blocks, endermen cannot take blocks, and villagers cannot farm. Many SMP servers turn it off to protect builds, but it also stops villagers harvesting crops and sheep eating grass, which breaks some farms.
Good to know
- Turning it off also stops villager farming and some mob behavior farms rely on.
