Could you possibly add an option in the configs to make falling meteors not destroy what they hit? Like mobGriefing gamerule, but for your meteors?

Just had one of them major multiple meteor strikes right dead-center of my new base... just had my entire evening's work destroyed kinda bummed.

This would really defeat the point of the mod. I've already given you the means to protect your land with meteor shields. They're cheap, powerful, and easily upgradeable. Use them.
