ShellAtol's Friendly Creeper
by shellatol
ShellAtol's Friendly Creeper adds a tameable creeper that players can ride, fly and steer, and that can be spawned as a companion mob.
What it does
A creeper normally sneaks up on players and explodes. Here it is turned into a spawnable companion: a player tames a creeper with gunpowder, and the tamed creeper stops acting as a hostile mob. Taming needs a Dried Creeper, which is crafted first and then placed down, where it can also sit in water.
The mod is built for NeoForge 26.1.2 only, with a single file, 1.0.0 for 26.1.2, released on 2026-08-31. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Creepers do not like a tamed Friendly Creeper, which is why the mod exists at all. The code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source, though public source code links exist.
