Golden Creeper
by Jaxxis
Golden Creeper adds a rare golden variant of the creeper to Forge worlds for Minecraft 1.20.1, which players must find and defeat.
What it does
Golden Creeper spawns in a biome and only at night, so players have to search for it. The creeper it adds moves at twice the walk speed of a normal creeper and deals twice the damage. It does not explode, so a fight with it is a melee challenge rather than an area hazard.
Defeating the golden creeper drops an Ultra Golden Apple. Eating one grants 30 minutes of healing strength, and the apple can also transform a normal Golden Apple. The mod is a small addition aimed at players who want a rare mob to hunt in survival worlds. Client and server both need it, since the spawning and drops run on the server, and players on a server running it need it too. Golden Creeper requires Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and is released under the Apache License 2.0, which is not open source.
Key features
Rare night spawns
The golden creeper appears only at night and in a specific biome, which makes it hard to find in a normal world.
Faster and stronger creeper
Its walk speed is doubled and its damage is twice that of a normal creeper, while it does not explode.
Ultra Golden Apple drop
Killing the golden creeper yields an Ultra Golden Apple that gives 30 minutes of healing strength when eaten.
Apple transform
Eating the Ultra Golden Apple transforms a normal apple of the same kind into its stronger form.
