Few things are more frustrating than logging into your Minecraft world only to find that Endermen have rearranged your carefully placed landscape overnight. Disable Enderman Picking Up Blocks Mod solves this problem by preventing Endermen from grabbing and relocating blocks across your world. With a simple config file, you stay in full control of which blocks remain protected — and which ones Endermen can still interact with for gameplay balance.
Key Features
- Full Block Protection — Stops Endermen from picking up blocks entirely, keeping your builds, terrain, and redstone setups exactly where you left them.
- Smart Exceptions for Balance — Pumpkins and melons are intentionally left pickable, preserving a touch of vanilla behavior and keeping farm interactions intact.
- Configurable Block List — Fine-tune exactly which blocks Endermen can or cannot pick up through a straightforward
config.ymlfile, giving you granular control without touching any code.

FAQ
Can I choose specific blocks for Endermen to still pick up?
Yes. The mod includes a config.yml file where you can customize exactly which blocks Endermen are allowed to pick up and which ones are protected.
Why can Endermen still pick up pumpkins and melons?
This is an intentional design choice by the mod author. Pumpkins and melons are left pickable for balance and thematic reasons, keeping some vanilla interaction intact.
Does this mod work with Fabric and Forge at the same time?
The mod supports Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt, but you need to download the correct version for your specific mod loader. You cannot use a Forge version on a Fabric installation or vice versa.
