Helpfull Creeper Mod
Helpfull Creeper lets players undo the damage a Creeper explosion leaves behind, so a build lost to a blast can be restored.
What it does
When a Creeper explodes near a player, a custom screen opens and asks whether the damaged area should be restored. Accepting the prompt rebuilds the blocks the explosion destroyed. Once the mess is fixed, the mod places an apology sign at the center of the blast, facing the player.
The mod is built for Fabric and is published for Minecraft 1.21.11 only. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
The mod is aimed at players who have spent hours on a build that a Creeper destroyed in a moment, and at server owners who want a recovery option for the same situation.
Key features
Interactive undo screen

Area restoration

Apology sign
After the repair, a sign is placed at the center of the explosion, facing the player who triggered the screen.
Lightweight design
The mod is described as a small addition that adds only the undo step and the sign, leaving the rest of the game unchanged.
