Silkablooie
by davigj
Silkablooie changes what certain mobs drop when they are killed by a player holding a Silk Touch pickaxe, so creepers and spiders can yield TNT, cobwebs or other bonus items.
What it does
Silkablooie works through drop tables for mobs that are killed by a player using a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch. Under the default settings a creeper has a 35% chance to drop TNT and a spider a 35% chance to drop cobwebs, while cave spiders reach 70%. Entities are grouped into tiers, with TNT droppers and cobweb droppers as the base tier and advanced versions of each as a more challenging group, such as cave creepers and cave spiders. The chance of each bonus drop is set in the config, which offers four tiers of percentages and lets the goods be chosen as well.
The mod requires Blueprint 6.2.0 or later. Entity types are read from the tags in the silkablooie namespace, so a modpack developer can replace the default groups with a datapack. It also includes optional compatibility with Savage Ravage, which is enabled through a config switch, and with Caverns Chasms, Creeper Overhaul and Neapolitan. Silkablooie runs on client and server and is published only for Forge, for the 1.16.5, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1 game versions. The latest file, 3.0.1, targets 1.20.1 and is dated 2024-02-17. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features

Config-driven chances
Drop percentages and goods are set in the config, with four adjustable tiers.
Datapack entity tags

How it compares
Old Creeper is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 – 1.20.1 that runs on the client and server and is released under All rights reserved, so its code is not open source. Every Mob's a Creeper is also Forge, but only for 1.20.1, uses the same client and server environment and is under the MIT License, without being open source. BetterCreeperDrops-DataPack is an open source datapack under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, covering Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.16.5 – 1.21.1, and it needs only the server, so clients can join without it.

What the author says
How could he be both so controversial and so, so wrong? This mod adds the tools to allow certain mobs (such as creepers and as of 1.19.2, spiders) to drop specific bonus items if killed by pickaxes enchanted with Silk Touch.
