Mutant Creeper Spider

The combined mob has 36 health and keeps the creeper's ability to climb walls. Below 12 health it tries to explode like an ordinary creeper; above that threshold it fights in melee, leaps at targets and attacks the way a spider does. A lightning-powered version produces a bigger explosion. When it dies it drops creeper string, and it spawns with a 15% chance on plains, swamps and forests at night.

The author notes that creeper spiders can attack players, villagers and iron golems, and that they are far more dangerous than spider jockeys. Rolikdoesmc also notes that a mob of this kind sometimes wanders into villages and attacks villagers. The mod is small and single-purpose, with no further features planned soon.

Installation needs only Forge, and the mod is published for 1.14.3 alone, with 1.0.1 as the latest file from 2024-02-14. Both the server and every player need it, since the environment is client and server. The code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
