Creeping Cats

by 0xDED

Creeping Cats is a Fabric mod that makes tamed cats and ocelots scare creepers away from them.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 1.21.7

What it does

Creeping Cats changes how creepers treat cats. When a tamed cat or an ocelot is within a 30 block range of a creeper, the creeper does not explode. The effect applies on the server, so only the server needs the mod. Files are published for Fabric across 7 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.7, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.

Key features

  1. Creepers held back by cats

    Creepers stop short of exploding while a cat or ocelot is nearby, covering a 30 block range.

  2. Tamed and wild felines

    The effect applies to tamed cats and ocelots, so pets and wild cats both keep creepers away.

  3. Server-side behavior

    Players join without installing anything, because the change takes place entirely on the server.

Creeping Cats makes cats really scary for creepers. Whenever a cat is around, creepers don't explode. Creepers CANNOT explode in a 30 block range of any cat or ocelot, tamed or not.
