Creeper Launcher
by neriidesu
Creeper Launcher changes what happens when a creeper explodes near a player, sending nearby entities flying instead of hurting the player.
What it does
When a creeper explodes, the explosion pushes nearby entities into the air rather than dealing the usual damage to the player. The mod is built to stop creepers from griefing a world while adding a playful twist on the blast. Since the effect is a server-side change, only the server needs the mod.
Creeper Launcher is published for Fabric only, across five release versions: 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.2 and 26.3. The latest file is 1.0.0+26.3, released 2026-09-16, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Launched entities
Entities caught in a creeper blast are thrown into the sky instead of simply being hurt by the explosion.
Damage-free blasts
Players take no damage from the explosion itself, though a fall after being launched can still cause harm.
Griefing prevention
The explosion behaves differently from vanilla, which discourages creepers from destroying builds.
Compatibility
