    I want whiters/creepers to explode PaRt of my island under controlled circumstances (obsidian etc.) so im proposing to have an option like "allow mobs damage your island" option or something.

    O I didn't realise everyone could get to everyone else in the nether. but if this was the case, could they do something that stops mobs going through nether portals (like the option to stop players coming through your own nether portal)?

    The nether has nothing to do with this lol, What I’m saying is you can spawn them next to your neighbor’s island and if they have it enabled then the wither can go across the border and grief the whole island, I don’t think it would be easy to just prevent them from crossing the island border

    its just not worth it people can exploit it really easy like people could launch creepers over to the next island and grief that way it can be used for duping ect

    But tnt doesn't explode. I think having anything that can explode or damage blocks would cause so much trouble. Both for griefing and for lag.

    I didn't realise tnt didn't explode (what is it used for then XD) . But it would be nice to still have the option (like there is the option for breaking blocks and opening chests even though they are hardly used) as some might want it (like me), and also, if you do select it, unless you also select the placing blocks option to be true, it is kinda useless to other people, so i still think it isn't such a bad idea.

    Partly yes, but exploding blocks could also be used for farms. Even though the droprate of blocks when exploded in 1.12 isn't 100% people could still use them as a way to afk farm stone, and with a good stone gen even with a bad droprate on exploding I feel like the amount of blocks that would end up dropping will cause a huge amount of lag

    You mean clear lag? Yes, but not right away. And for clear lag to reach limit it's going to take a while too. It might not be a big problem if 1 person did it, but let's say 10 people have something exploding blocks at the same time, you will end up with clear lag's limit (i think it's 1024) in notime. wich will make breaking anything worth of value (spawners, gold iron etc) for other players very risky aswell because a few people are exploding blocks that aren't that expensive

    Looking at all the disadvantages listed above, I accept that this is a bad idea, and would like someone to archive this please.
