Description
A small mod that allows tweaking some aspects of Creeper or other explosions.
The most common and useful tweak is probably the one where all the blocks destroyed by Creeper explosions will always drop as items.
No more partially filled Creeper holes!
Note: Does not currently work with Sponge, because the Forge Explosion events don't get fired with Sponge installed.
Configuration
The following configuration options are available. The mod handles Creeper exposions separately from all other explosions, so that you can only enable the tweaks for Creepers, if that is the only change you are looking for.
- creeperChainReactionChance: The chance (per each target Creeper within range) that a chain reaction occurs, if enableCreeperExplosionChainReaction is true. Range: 0.0 - 1.0
- creeperChainReactionMaxDistance: The maximum distance within which a Creeper can ignite other Creepers
- creeperExplosionBlockDropChance: The chance that a block destroyed by a Creeper explosion will drop as an item. Range 0.0 ... 1.0, where 1.0 means that the block always drops as an item.
- creeperExplosionStrengthCharged: The strength of Charged Creeper explosions. The default in vanilla is 6.0 (double of normal Creepers).
- creeperExplosionStrengthNormal: The strength of normal Creeper explosions. The default in vanilla is 3.0.
- disableCreeperExplosionBlockDamage: This completely disables Creeper explosions from destroying blocks
- disableCreeperExplosionCompletely: This prevents Creepers from exploding completely. They just swell up.
- disableCreeperExplosionItemDamage: This prevents Creeper explosions from destroying items on the ground
- disableOtherExplosionBlockDamage: This completely disables other explosions except for Creepers from destroying blocks
- disableOtherExplosionItemDamage: This prevents other types of explosions except for Creepers from destroying items on the ground
- enableCreeperExplosionChainReaction: If enabled, then a Creeper explosion can ignite other Creepers within range
- modifyCreeperExplosionDropChance: This enables the item drop chance modification for Creeper explosions
- modifyCreeperExplosionStrength: Enable modifying the explosion strength of Creeper explosions. Without this, the explosion strength values described above do nothing.
- modifyOtherExplosionDropChance: This enables the item drop chance modification for every other explosion except for Creepers
- otherExplosionBlockDropChance: Same as creeperExplosionBlockDropChance, but for all other explosions except Creepers
Mod packs/permissions
- Mod packs: go ahead!
- Re-hosting the mod file otherwise is not cool, mmkay?

i wish it was for 1.14, since this mod is the only way i can deal with creepers exploding near my house
In reply to this_is_stupid123:
Do you need it for Forge or Fabric? I should start porting my (smaller first?) mods to 1.14 that is true...
In reply to masady:
i need the mod for forge.
Is there a way to disable the creeper block damage from another mod called Primitive Mobs ?
In the Primitive Mobs Config file there is only an option to disable the terrain damage from the TNT Throwing creepers but not the other creepers.
In reply to Niadh024:
Did you try if it works with the current version of this mod, using the creeper-specific configs?
In reply to masady:
Yep, it only works with the vanilla creepers.
In reply to Niadh024:
Okay, well then I guess I may need to add a config for adding custom mobs as "creepers" as far as the mod is concerned.
Well... so weird. And I've been playing with mods for a long time (years), so I don't get stumped very often.
Here's the good news: I've slowly added all my existing 58 mods, one at a time, back to the server. And guess what? You're mod is still working as-designed!
I know a mod server world can get messed up if you launch with certain mods and then remove them later, but continue to try to play the existing world. So I never do that. But I do often keep adding mods, a little at a time, and yet keep playing the same world.
But with this series of tests tonight, when I removed all the mods, I also reset the world. So it was tested first with a clean world....
--
As a finale test, I restored the files from a zip of the world we were playing when I reached out to you, and tested again... And, as expected, your mod fails.
So I can conclude it is the (corrupt?) world, not the mod that was the issue. :)
Thanks again for all the help!
Great to see a new update! However, I used this a few years ago and couldn't get it to work then either. All I'm looking to do is keep creepers from wrecking terrain and buildings, so I have disableCreeperExplosionBlockDamage=true. I'm using Forge 1 12 2 2838, and do have a series of other mobs mods, so wondering if there's a conflict somewhere. Here are the mobs-related mods I use: Better Animals Plus, EnderIO Zoo, Fish's Undead Rising, Illagers Plus, Lycanites Mobs, Mowzies Mobs, Primitive Mobs, Raiders. PS - These all seem to work fine together with no server issues otherwise. No glaring server logs. Thanks in advance for the assistance!
In reply to egadgetboy:
Last time I checked if you have Sponge installed then it does something to the explosion events such that this mod unfortunately doesn't work. I haven't tried it in a long time, but I believe it may be a bug in Sponge if it's still the same as it was back then. I believe some of the Forge explosion events didn't even fire if Sponge was installed.
If you don't have Sponge, then I'd recommend enabling the verbose logging option and checking in the server/game console for some messages from EnvC when you let a creeper explode for example. I take it in your case the Creepers still destroyed blocks like normal even with that option enabled?
In reply to masady:
Thank you for the quick reply. I do not use Sponge. I turned verbose logging on (Log some messages on each explosion, for debugging purposes. Leave disabled for normal use. B:verboseLogging=true), and the tested a creeper explosion. Here's what showed up around the time of the explosion:

I'm not running any mod directly or indirectly related to Tinkers Construct (see: https://github.com/SlimeKnights/TinkersConstruct/issues/2171)
In reply to egadgetboy:
Strange, there doesn't seem to be a line about the explosion event handler getting called, It should look something like this:
[environmentalcreepers] Explosion: class: net.minecraft.* , position: x: 123, y: 64, z: 123
and when you have the disableCreeperExplosionBlockDamage option enabled, then it should be followed by:
[environmentalcreepers] ExplosionEventHandler - clearAffectedBlockPositions() - Type: 'Creeper'
I need help adding the ProjectE TNT explosions to the blacklist, how can I figure out the explosion class? Source is at https://github.com/sinkillerj/ProjectE. I am trying to get the Nova Catalyst and Nova Cataclysm

Hi. iNice mod.
I was wondering if there any way to increase the damage done by a creeper when he explodes?
In reply to nshawmc2:
Hey, thanks for the mod. Im tired of repairing holes in my server.
But ive noticed creepers dont deal much damage when their block damage is off. I mean, sometimes they do their expected damage but most of the times you get hit by half a heart while standing near to them. No matter how high I set their base damage (and I do have the allow altered damage = true) they dont seem threating anymore.
Is there a way around this...?
