Miner Creepers

by TioBen

Miner Creepers, a Fabric mod, gives creepers eleven ore-themed variants that spawn at specific heights and explode into the stone around them.

FabricClient and serverzlib License26.1.2 – 26.2

What it does

Each variant is tied to one mineral from the overworld or the Nether, and the creepers convert stone-type ores when they explode. Spawning follows height: a deep variant appears underground, while an emerald variant turns up near mountaintops. Group sizes and weights can be set in the config.

The mod is built for Fabric Loader and has no other loader listed. Files exist for 26.1.2 and 26.2, with version 2.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is released under the zlib License and is not open source; the public issue tracker is the only linked resource.

Key features

  1. Eleven mineral variants

    Each creeper type changes how it explodes and what it leaves in the surrounding stone, depending on the mineral it is tied to.

  2. Height-based spawning

    Each variant spawns only at heights that suit its mineral, so deep and high-altitude creepers stay in their own zones.

  3. Glowing outlines

    A colored outline appears when the player looks directly at a creeper and lingers briefly after the view moves away.

  4. Emissive textures

    Eyes and leg details glow in dark areas and dim in lit areas, using a separate texture layer per mineral.

  5. Charged lightning variants

    A creeper struck by lightning explodes with double power.

  6. Custom spawn eggs

    Eleven spawn eggs sit in a dedicated creative tab grouped by rarity as common, rare and epic.
