${youtube}[How to disable Mob Griefing, TnT Explosions, and Fire Spread!](GOzHjg-8BJ4)

This guide will show you how to properly disable mob griefing, TNT explosions, and fire spread on your server.

|| The **mob griefing** option will affect first the explosion caused by mobs, which are disabled if you also disable the mob griefing, but also the ability of mobs to change the world ( for example the ability of Ender Mans to pick up items).

|| The **TNT explosion's** option will affect either the TNT should explode or not on your server.

|| The **fire spread** option will affect if the fire is spreading on your server or not.

All of those are usually disabled so no player can use them to damage your world.
