New Challenge: Echo Creepers

Echo creepers act similarly to a pre-existing variant, but with new changes

The following creepers can be encountered with this gamerule:

Poisonous Potato Creeper [echo of the original creeper]: from the April Fools 2024 update, the Poisonous Potato Creeper poisons it's target and converts poison into regeneration if you try to poison it yourself.

Tool Smasher Creeper [echo of the armor smasher creeper]: Will try to heavily damage tools you are holding

Pew Pew Creeper [echo of the minelayer creeper]: Shoots arrows, spectral arrows, and occasionally tridents

Dead Riser Creeper [echo of the: fragmentation creeper] Brings in zombies into the battlefield. Has a rare chance of summoning a complete remake of the Giant.

Bloxxy Creeper [echo of the festive creeper]: Tosses Subspace Tripmines at you

Magma Creeper [echo of the ice creeper]: Drops down Magma Blocks (and lava in Kaizo Mode)

Mini Bomb Rushing Creeper [echo of the bomb rushing creeper]: literally what it is. rushes towards its target and explodes, and it's small.

Happy Creeper [echo of the oinkper]: Will you get poppies or a regular creeper? Gurantees to turn into a Bomb Rushing Creeper and some mini bomb rushers in Kaizo mode

Villager Creeper [echo of the wackper]: With sounds from the T.E.A.V.S.R.P., the Villager Creeper does a different kind of wack stuff (evoker fangs, shulker bullets, tridents, and fierworks)

BALANCE CHANGES:

Crystal Creepers now has a higher delay on the arrow that causes the crystal to explode in Kaizo Mode

Creeper Spawners have a chance to deactivate, giving you the chance to mine them before they spawn more creepers. Deactivated spawners will eventually reactivate if not dealt with.

Spawner Creepers will now only place 4 active spawners and 5 deactivated spawners on normal mode

Planter Creepers will place down lots of blast shrubs if it's standing on sand or red sand instead of their typical blast flowers.

Antivirus Blocks now have a higher spread range than the infectious missing texture blocks
