Creeper Drop TNT
Creeper Drop TNT changes what creepers leave behind when they are killed, so their drop becomes TNT instead of gunpowder.
What it does
Creepers drop TNT rather than gunpowder, and TNT can no longer be crafted from sand and gunpowder. The change makes creepers more useful as a source of explosives in survival play. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the 48 release versions covering 1.14 – 26.3 and a data pack version also offered. The server must run the mod, but players may leave it out. The mod is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved.
