Smart Creeper

by zyx006

Smart Creeper changes how creepers, zombies, skeletons and endermen pick their targets, steering them toward containers and machines.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.12.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

Creepers prioritize attacking container blocks such as chests and machines instead of the nearest player, and the target list is configurable. Zombies can break containers, skeletons shoot them until a set number of hits destroys them, and endermen can carry blocks. Encountering a cat turns a creeper into a charged creeper rather than sending it fleeing, and the behavior can be turned on or off within a set range.

Smart Creeper is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.12.2 and 1.21.1 released under the MIT License. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Key features

  1. Container targeting

    Creepers pick chests and machines as their target, and the list of blocks they seek can be edited.

  2. Container-breaking zombies

    Zombies break containers, and skeletons destroy them after a configurable number of hits.

  3. Charged creepers from cats

    A creeper that meets a cat transforms into a charged creeper instead of fleeing.
