Creeper Fireworks Mod

by wendall911

Creeper Fireworks adds firework displays to creeper explosions, with settings for what the blast can damage and how high the burst launches.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20 – 26.3

What it does

When a creeper explodes, the blast can be turned into a firework show. Block and item damage can each be switched on or off, so the explosion can light up the sky without wrecking the terrain. The chance of a firework going off, its colors, its flicker and its shape are all adjustable, and the height at which the burst launches can be set.

Fireworks still appear when mob griefing is disabled, which lets a server keep creeper damage off while keeping the display. A datapack can modify creepers, and other mods can extend them through the same datapack support. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds cover 1.20 – 26.3, and the code is released under the MIT License, making it open source. Source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project.

Key features

  1. Block damage toggle

    Explosions can be set to break blocks or leave the terrain intact while the fireworks still fire.

  2. Item damage toggle

    Dropped items can be protected from creeper blasts independently of block damage.

  3. Firework appearance

    Colors, flicker and shape of the firework burst are all configurable options.

  4. Explosion firework chance

    A set probability decides how often a creeper explosion produces a firework.

How it compares

Full comparison

No Creeper Griefing is server required with client optional, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. NoCreeperDamage is server-side only, open source under the ISC License, and built for Fabric only across 1.21.5 – 26.1.2. Creeper Fireworks is client and server, so the server and every player need it, while the alternatives run on the server alone.
