The Sneaky Creeper
by Math_xray
The Sneaky Creeper changes how Creepers behave on death and at dawn, adding a cloaking effect and mini Creepers to the Mobs category for NeoForge.
What it does
Creepers that cloak blend into the block they stand on, which makes them harder to spot before they strike. When one of these Creepers dies, it splits into 2 Mini Sneaky Creepers. Sneaky Creepers also spawn in the Overworld at dawn; they behave like normal Creepers but carry a different texture. The mod is built for NeoForge and is listed for 1.21 only, with the NeoForge file 1.0.0 published on 2025-11-02. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

NEEDS NEOFORGE 21.0.157 [or above] Works with Texture Packs as well! Creepers are terrifying, but what if there were EVEN MORE DANGEROUS? At dawn, sneaky creepers spawn in the overworld, they're like the normal ones, except they get the texture of the block they're standing on, cloaking efficiently. When you kill it…
