Polite Creeper
by k1llm3sixy
Polite Creeper changes what happens when a creeper nears the player: the creeper asks permission before it explodes, and the player decides the outcome.
What it does
A prompt opens on screen whenever a creeper is about to blow up close to the player, asking whether the blast may go ahead. Choosing to let it explode sends an apology message to the chat. Choosing to cancel stops the blast, removes the creeper, makes heart particles appear and drops a signed book in its place. A separate option picks one of the outcomes at random for the player.
The mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.2 and requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, both of which must be installed alongside it. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with public links to the source code and issue tracker.

How it compares
Creeper No Break is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers 26.1.2 – 26.3 on Fabric, so players can join without installing it. Creeper Sense is client-side only, is not open source, is published under All rights reserved and covers 1.16.5 – 26.1.2 on Fabric. Polite Creeper is the only option here that requires both the server and the player to run it.
