Creepers Burn
Creepers Burn makes creepers catch fire in daylight, as zombies and skeletons already do, on Fabric servers.
What it does
Creepers that stay exposed to daylight burn, the way zombies and skeletons do in the vanilla game. The mod changes that behavior so creepers no longer slip past players after nightfall without warning. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. The files target 1.16 – 1.16.5 and are released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so the mod is not open source in the sense of an open license for code reuse.
Key features
Daylight burning
Creepers that are not shaded catch fire when daylight reaches them, as zombies and skeletons already do.
Fewer surprise creepers
Creepers no longer stay alive into the day, so they stop appearing unexpectedly after night ends.
Shelter still matters
Trees, roofs and other shaded spots still protect a creeper, so players who look for cover may find one hiding there.

Creepers always bugged me, as they don't burn up, they always sneak up on me unexpected after a night. No more of this, creepers burn like zombies and skeletons!
