What it does

Creepers are removed from the world a few seconds after they appear, so their explosions stop shaping the terrain or damaging builds. The mod is built as a data pack, which the author recommends over a standard mod because of problems the author saw with mod installs. It runs on the server, and players can join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and for the data pack platform, with the latest build targeting 1.21.11. Game versions 1.20 – 1.21.11 are covered, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

Creepers vanish quickly
Creepers disappear a few seconds after spawning, so they never reach the player to explode.
Data pack option
The author offers a data pack build as the preferred install, avoiding the problems the author saw with mod builds.
Server-side install
Only the server has to run the mod, so players join without installing anything.
