Grafted Creaking
Grafted Creaking adds creaking-based variants of wood, which players craft and place to spawn new creaking mobs in the world.
What it does
Players build the variant from creaking-based wood, and the variant then spawns creaking mobs with their own behavior. Several variants, including Dark Oak and Pale Oak, change how the mob attacks, moves and despawns. Some variants are hostile, while others are passive towards players and attack only hostile mobs.
The mod needs both sides to behave consistently, so the server and every player must run it, and it works on Fabric and NeoForge. Builds are published for 13 release versions, 1.21.4 – 26.3, with snapshot builds included, under the MIT License and open source. Its only required dependency is named in the FAQ below.
Grafted Creaking is an open source Mobs mod that also appears under Adventure and Game mechanics, with its source code and issue tracker publicly available.
Key features
Player-created variants
Creaking wood can be used to spawn a creaking variant chosen by the player, instead of only natural spawns.
Special abilities
Some variants can cause blindness, use a special ability, or move faster than the standard creaking mob.
Higher damage and multiplied attacks
Certain variants deal higher damage or multiply the attacks they receive, changing the fights they start.
Day and night behavior
Some variants despawn at night and others during daytime, and a behavior-inverted variant reverses this pattern.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want more creaking mobs with different combat and despawn behavior, and server owners who run those mobs on a shared world. Both sides need the mod, so clients and servers should install it together.
How it compares
No Creakings is server-side only, published for Fabric alone across 1.21.4 – 26.2, and is not open source under All rights reserved, so players can join without installing it. BetterCreaking is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric and Quilt for 1.21.6 – 1.21.8, as a client and server mod. Toxic Creaking is also open source under the MIT License and covers Fabric for 1.21.11 – 26.3, as a client and server mod.
