Plague's Noisy Creepers
by PlagueTR
Plague's Noisy Creepers makes creepers audible, with footstep and idle sounds that players can tune in volume and frequency.
What it does
The mod plays footstep sounds as creepers move and idle sounds while they stand around, so a player can hear a creeper approach before seeing it. Volume for each sound type and how often idle sounds play can be adjusted, letting a player tune how readily creepers are noticed. Only the sounds change; creeper behavior and combat stay the same.
The mod runs on the Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt loaders, with builds covering 1.16.5 – 26.3 across 33 release versions. The environment is client-side only: a player who joins a server that does not run the mod hears nothing extra, and the server needs no installation. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional; with Mod Menu, the settings open inside the game, otherwise the configuration file in the config folder is edited by hand. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public.
Files for Fabric and NeoForge use 1.1.32+26.3, the latest Forge file is 1.1.12+1.20.2 for 1.20.2, and the Quilt file matches Fabric. Quilt users on 1.21.11 need Quilt Loader 0.29.3-beta.1 or later because Mod Menu requires Fabric.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want creepers to be easier to hear, and server owners who want to check the server rules before allowing a client-side sound mod.
How it compares
Lenient Creepers is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and covers 1.12 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt; it changes creeper behavior rather than sound. Anti-Creeper is server-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and published for 1.19 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt. Plague's Noisy Creepers differs in being client-side only and changing only the sounds creepers make.
