Instead of only running from them, you can approach them safely with a creeper head, weaken them with a special biscuit, tame them, and keep them with you as a combat companion.

This mod is built around survival-friendly mechanics rather than creative-only gimmicks.

How It Works

Wear a Creeper Head or Happy Creeper Mask to get close safely.
Feed the creeper an Anti-Blast Biscuit to weaken it.
Feed the weakened creeper a Sweet Gunpowder Biscuit to tame it.
Right-click your tamed creeper with an empty hand to open its companion UI.
Use Shift + right-click with an empty hand to switch between follow and stay in the world.
Heal it directly or let it use stored fuel automatically when hurt.

Current Release Notes

This release is intended as a wider beta playtest build.

The taming loop is fully playable, with companion armor management, potion support, recolors, rainbow mode, a dedicated creeper UI, and fuel-based self-healing in place. Balance and polish are still in progress.
