Friendly Creepers

by vertex06m

Friendly Creepers changes how Creepers behave in a Minecraft world, so they approach players without exploding.

ForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT License1.19.4 – 26.1.2

What it does

Creepers keep walking up to players, but they no longer blow up when they get close. Their approach causes no damage, so a player who wants to be near one is not harmed. Terrain and builds stay intact, because no explosion takes place. The mod runs on the server, and players join without installing anything. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, across 6 release versions 1.19.4 – 26.1.2, and is released under the MIT License, which means it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Harmless approach

    Creepers still walk up to players, but the approach does not cause any damage.

  2. No explosions

    Creepers do not detonate, so blocks, structures and builds are not destroyed.

  3. Less explosive worlds

    Creeper blasts are removed from the game, which makes the world less explosive overall.
