Aquatic Creepers
by Flashh
Aquatic Creepers adds a new kind of creeper that spawns in oceans, rivers and other bodies of water, creating an underwater threat for players exploring those areas.
What it does
Aquatic Creepers spawns new creepers in oceans and rivers, where they add danger to underwater exploration. Each one has half the health of a normal creeper. When a player is detected up to 15 blocks away, the creature swims toward the player, and once close enough it stays near for a few seconds. Its spawn rate is low by default, and a config file included with the mod lets players change how often they appear.
The mod also adds Blue Gunpowder, which drops from defeated Aquatic Creepers. Players can use it to craft a Blue Charge, which expands the combat crafting options. The mod requires Architectury API and oωo (owo-lib) on every loader, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for game versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
