Server-side Creeper Control

by Devan-Kerman

Server-side Creeper Control lets a server owner change how creeper explosions behave, through settings that apply without any client installation.

What it does

The mod gives server owners configurable control over creeper explosion behavior on Fabric. Because it runs only on the server, players join without installing anything, and changes take effect for everyone connected. It is described by its author as a more modern take on Creeper Firework, with gamerules used to adjust settings. Vanilla Tweaks datapacks still work alongside it, so charged creepers can keep dropping mob heads. The mod is built for 1.20.4 only and is released under the MIT License, so the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Configurable explosions

    Server owners can adjust how creeper explosions behave without editing the game's core files.

  2. Gamerule-based settings

    Behavior is controlled through gamerules, so settings can be changed while the server runs.

  3. Server-only installation

    Only the server needs the mod, and players connect without installing anything extra.

Questions
