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 mod is entirely configured through the config file, which is at .minecraft/config/environmentalcreepers.cfg (in 1.14+ it's a *.toml file instead).
In the later versions there is now one command: /environmentalcreepers-reload to reload the config file from disk in-game, without having to relog or restart the server to read the file. In single player you can also use the in-game config GUI for changing the configs (not implemented yet as of writing this in Forge 1.14.4+).
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?

You should add an option for creeper to spawn naturally charged and your mod would be perfect
Hallo! Are you planning to update the forge version to 1.17? I'd really appreciate being able to use it.
In reply to angular_angel:
its already out lol
In reply to iamyeetman:
It's not, only the Fabric version has been updated to 1.17.x atm. I started updating the Forge version too yesterday, but it's not finished yet.
How do you set this up in config files for an Apex Hosting sever? Also I'm not very good at figuring out this config stuff so if anyone could send me a link to a good video that explains it that'd be much appreciated
In reply to ReddRowBoat:
I'm not sure what you are referring to? Do you have mod loader installed and working on the server, and the mod also loaded and working? After that you just edit the config file at config/environmentalcreepers.<json | toml> (the extension depending on whether you are using the Fabric or the Forge version of the mod). If the mod was loaded successfully, and there was no config file yet, it will generate the config file, and the config file will include comments describing all the options briefly. There are a number of toggle/boolean options to enable the various features the mod has, and then other options to configure how exactly the different features should work.
Hello~masady~
I see that your other FABRIC mods are updated to version 1.17
Will this mod be updated to FABRIC version 1.17?
This MOD has many functions I need,
Hope to continue using this mod in version 1.17~
Thank you so much!
Are you only doing it for Fabric now
In reply to yoshifico:
No, there is a Forge version as well on the Files page.
I installed the mod on our server but the toml in the config folder is just not showing up. I have restarted the server already and while the server runs without any problem, I can't access any configurations
In reply to ReaUsagi:
Are you running a Forge or Fabric server? From mentioning a toml file I would assume Forge. Make sure you got the correct version of the mod. And check the server console/log, does it show the mod being loaded on server start?
In reply to masady:
We figured it out by now :) we had the correct file and all but it was a server side problem. It skipped many mods on load and didn't output an error log or anything the like (it didn't even crash) but support got it fixed
Thanks very for making this mod. I'm having an issue on a 1.16.5 Fabric server that Creepers are still damaging passive mobs and item frames despite the config having disableCreeperExplosionEntityDamage and disableCreeperExplosionItemDamage both set to true. It is set to perWorldConfig and creeper block damage is zeroed as expected, while still permitting creeper damage to players so the mod does appear to be partially working on our world. Can you offer any advice?
In reply to SaphyreSyren:
Are you also using Carpet mod or Lithium with their explosion optimizations enabled? I believe both of those would conflict and prevent some of the code from this mod from actually running.
In reply to masady:
We are running Lithium! That's probably it. It looks I can set mixin.alloc.explosion_behavior to false so I'll give that a try. Thank you!
When I try to change the config and select done, it does NOT save my changes. Is there a step I am missing when altering the config? I have the version 1.6 for 1.12.2
In reply to Amazingbluebomb:
Which MC version and version of the mod are you even referring to? I think the 1.12.2 Forge version is the only one that even has an in-game config GUI, so I assume you are referring to that version? I don't remember if I have really tested the config GUI and if it applies the configs properly. Usually I just edit the config file (.minecraft/config/environmentalcreepers.cfg) manually in a text editor, and then reload the world. I don't remember if the 1.12.2 version has the reload command yet.
In reply to masady:
Yes! Thank you, manually editing the config file fixed the problem :)
Is it installed only on the server side?
