Prevents all hostile and neutral mobs from altering the landscape — no creeper explosions destroying terrain, no endermen stealing blocks, no zombies breaking down doors, no ghasts destroying Nether builds. Animals like sheep and cows still interact normally with crops and grass. Reverse with /gamerule mobGriefing true.
