Health Blast
by Shnupbups
Health Blast changes how a Creeper's explosion scales with the Creeper's own health, for Fabric worlds on 1.16.5 – 1.18.1.
What it does
A Creeper's current health sets the power of its explosion, so a weakened Creeper detonates with less force than one at full health. Vanilla Creepers have 20 health by default, and the mod leaves that baseline in place while letting damage taken before the blast reduce the result. Health Blast runs on client and server, and both sides need it. Files cover 1.16.5, 1.18 and 1.18.1, and the latest is 1.1.1 for 1.18.1. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Health-based explosion power
The blast radius and damage of a Creeper depend on the health it has left when it detonates.
Vanilla baseline
A Creeper at full health of 20 produces the default vanilla explosion power.
Damage reduces the blast
A Creeper that takes more damage before exploding produces a smaller explosion.

How it compares
Health = XP is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and built for 1.21.1, so it does not overlap with Health Blast's version range. Fatal Blow is open source under the MIT License, works as a client or server option for 1.17.1, and is not a Creeper-health mod.

What the author says
This simple mod makes Creepers' health affect their explosion power. A Creeper with 20 health (default max) will have the vanilla explosion power. The more damage it takes, the smaller its explosion.
