So, what does this mod add?
Well in case the title wasn't obvious enough, this mod adds a brand new hostile water mob to the game - the Aqua Creeper! Whilst, for the most part, it behaves as a regular creeper would if it were a fish, this terrifying creature has some fiendish tricks up it's wet, scaly sleeves. Oh, and it looks pretty cool too.
When you're minding your own business swimming around in the ocean, be sure to stay away from these guys; being naturally water-dwelling creatures, they have the advantage of speed. Even if you're on a boat, they will swim beneath it and blow you straight out of the water.
But don't think you're safe on land either! If you stand too close to the water, the Aqua Creeper will just leap out at you and explode in your face after flopping around for a bit.
Wanna stick it in your mod pack? No need to ask, just go ahead!
This mod discourages you to make a base near shores so no buildings like docks, unless theres a way to disable their spawn such as high light levels?
Any chance you will update this for 1.14?
How do I use the config? Would I have to turn the number up or down to get creepers to spawn less frequently?
The problem is they can bite the player from really far away, even through 1 block-wide walls. Plus there's should be a config to disable the biting and make them be able to spawn in rivers
The aqua creeper seems to be able to bite through 1-block walls. Any help?
This is the greatest mob-for-waters-mod I've seen so far. Thanks <3
It might be a big feature to ask for, but would it be possible to add biome-specific spawn to the config and make some variants of the Aqua Creeper texture? (merely talking about color, unless you have some cool ideas now :P)
Working on a modpack, will let you know when it's released!
//e: Oh, and maybe a swim speed option, too?
//e²: I can probably alter the spawning and speed via external mods, but it would be a cool feature nonetheless :)
this would be funny to have in 1.13
This is the dumbest mod I've seen
In reply to Marius_Ventrue:
Like the others have said, wonderful design and concept. Thank you for creating such a wonderful little mod and being part of the community.
With that said, I'm getting a crash, which seems to be a conflict of some sort with Takumicraft (a mod that adds over 100 types of creepers and some adventure aspects):

I'll still be using this mod in another modpack I'm working on even if this problem doesn't get resolved for some time. Thanks
I must congratulate you on the simple yet awesome idea, that this mod encapsulates. That said, I don't think I can use it simply because I am not quite that mean at this time. Some day we shall see *evil grin*
Love the concept of this mod, and it's so adorable! The model is gorgeous.
Am adding to my game alongside the Lycanites mod as a scrumptious touch - that cherry on top. XD Really. Lol.
Love the mod, thank you for it!
I think the AI might need to be tweaked a little. Getting killed by an aqua creeper in the open ocean or near the shore gives players a healthy fear of the water. But (at least in the 1.12 version), aqua creepers can bite players through solid block walls, and will blow up even through a two-block thick wall.
Getting killed in a sealed well-lit room by a mob that you can't see and who shouldn't be able to see you (let alone reach you to bite) is kinda cheap.

tell em to git gud
I'm using 1.10.2 and I wanted to know is there a way to have this mod work with the command mobGriefing=false or have a config file to turn block damage off?
Please & Thanks
What are the spawn conditions of this mob? I've lit up the bottom of my lake with glowstone but they're still spawning in it.
In reply to laserlemons:
can we turn off black damage if we use this mod?
Awesome! Thanks for bringing this to 1.12.2. These little guys have been missed!
Hey thanks for the update!
