ToMeSetup — Auto Gamerules and Explosion Protection for Minecraft

ToMeSetup: Automate Gamerules in Minecraft

Manual command entry is a drag when you are setting up a fresh Minecraft world. Repeating the same gamerules every time you load a map or restart a server eats into your playtime. ToMeSetup: Automate Gamerules in Minecraft solves this by applying your preferred world settings automatically from the moment the world loads. It is a lightweight utility built for players, server admins, and modpack authors who want consistency without the extra keystrokes.

What This Mod Automates

Once configured, the mod reads a single config file and applies your chosen rules on every world load. You no longer need to open the chat console. The tool supports a practical range of vanilla gamerules, including:

• keepInventory — preserve items after death.
• mobGriefing — control whether mobs can break blocks.
• doFireTick — manage fire spread.
• doMobSpawning — toggle hostile and passive mob spawns.
• spawnRadius — define the size of the world spawn area.
• doDaylightCycle — freeze or enable the day-night cycle.
• doTileDrops — control block item drops.
• doMobLoot — decide if mobs drop loot.

Set these values once in the config, and they stick for every session. This is especially useful for multiplayer servers and curated modpacks where stability matters more than manual tweaking.

Spawn Control and Block Replacement

Beyond standard gamerules, the mod gives you direct control over the world spawn point. You can force specific X and Z coordinates straight from the config file. This is handy for adventure maps or for ensuring all players appear in a designated hub area. Additionally, the mod can replace the block at the spawn's base level — bedrock by default — with any block you choose. If liquid happens to sit under the spawn point, you can specify a separate replacement block to prevent players from respawning in water.

Explosion Protection Rule

Starting with version 1.6, the mod introduces a unique rule not found in vanilla Minecraft: explosionBlockDamage. When enabled (the default), explosions from TNT, creepers, or ghast fireballs will no longer destroy blocks. Entities still take damage, so the balance remains intact, but your builds stay safe from accidental destruction. You can disable this rule in the config if you prefer classic explosion behavior.

How to Install and Configure

Installing the mod is straightforward. It runs on the Fabric loader and supports multiple recent Minecraft versions, making it a reliable pick for modern setups. To get started:

1. Download the mod file from the official Curse Network or GitHub page.
2. Place the JAR into your mods folder.
3. Launch the game once to generate the tomesetup-common.toml config file.
4. Open the config file and adjust the values to your liking.
5. Restart the game or reload the world to apply the changes.

If you prefer a launcher-based approach, some third-party launchers allow you to download ToMeSetup: Automate Gamerules in Minecraft directly from their menu, automatically matching a compatible build for you. This removes the guesswork around version tracking and manual folder navigation.

Modpack and Server Use

The mod is freely redistributable, so you can include it in public modpacks on CurseForge or in your own server projects without restriction. Official downloads are available only through Curse Network and GitHub, which ensures the files are clean and up to date. The mod is extremely light on resources, adds negligible server load, and works well alongside most popular mods.

For anyone who wants to spend more time playing and less time configuring, ToMeSetup: Automate Gamerules in Minecraft for Minecraft is a practical addition. It removes routine setup, protects structures from accidental explosions, and gives you full command over starting conditions. Whether you run a private server or just want a hassle-free single-player experience, this tool delivers consistent results every time you load a world. If you are ready to simplify your setup, download ToMeSetup: Automate Gamerules in Minecraft and see how much smoother your sessions become.
