Creeper explosions drop all items
by LoremV
Creeper explosions drop all items is a Fabric utility that changes what a creeper blast leaves behind, so the items in the blast area fall as drops.
What it does
Blocks caught in a creeper blast break and drop the items they hold, so the explosion no longer destroys their contents. The change touches only the blast itself: the creeper's death message still names the creeper as the cause. Installation needs Fabric on the server side, and the environment is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Files are published for 1.20 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest Fabric file, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is not open source.
Key features
Item drops from blasts
Blocks destroyed by a creeper explosion release their items instead of losing them to the blast.
Small single-mixin change
The modification is a single mixin that copies the built method and changes one line, which keeps the code small.
Explosion type swapped to TNT
The creeper explosion is changed to behave like TNT, which makes the difference hard to notice in play.

What the author says
This is a very simple (one mixin copying a built in method and changing one line) mod, creepers will drop all blocks they explode. This is done by changing a creepers explosion type to be TNT instead of Creeper, this doesn't appear to noticeable in game, as a creeper death still says it was the creeper that caused it.
