Cataclysmic Creepers
by Yoshi01111
Cataclysmic Creepers turns Creepers into a spreading plant-like growth, adding a mutation cycle to Minecraft's world generation through Forge.
What it does
Creepers in this mod have a 10% chance to spawn as a mutating kind. A mutated Creeper converts two nearby blocks into Creeper Blocks roughly one Minecraft day after it appears, at the normal tick speed. Creeper Blocks spread over time and grow into a large, hostile Creeper-Blob with many heads, and other offspring grow out of it. Creeper Plants and Creeper Seeds are scattered through the world as well, and a plant that grows long enough enters a primed state and explodes, scattering new Creeper Seeds that start the cycle again.
Creeper Blocks are very vulnerable to fire and burn away without dropping anything. Breaking them with a hoe is an alternative route, and it yields some experience and gunpowder along with some extra loot. The mod is made with MCreator and is published for Forge on 1.19.2 and 1.20.1. Client and server both need it, and the license is Apache License 2.0; the code is not open source.

What the author says
This is based of the Idea that Creepers are Plants and Plants grow, so I made Creepers grow too in their own way. For example i added Creeper Plants with Creeper Seeds [that are scattered around the world (only in 1.0 version)] these will also eventually grow into normal Creepers, so you better want to break them but…
