Balanced Creepers

The Balanced Creepers mod is a lightweight Minecraft addition that fundamentally changes creeper behavior, making them more balanced and fair while maintaining their threat to players.

Key Features of the Modification

Reduced Block Damage - Creeper explosions now destroy significantly fewer blocks, minimizing landscape damage and preventing mass destruction of structures.

Decreased Player Damage - Within a 7-block radius, creepers deal fixed damage of 2 hearts (4 damage points), instead of the lethal explosion that could instantly kill a character. However, when exploding directly under feet, the damage is 7.5 hearts.

Ambient Sounds - Creepers now emit quiet background sounds, allowing players to detect their approach in advance and avoid sudden attacks from nowhere.

Chain Explosions - When one creeper detonates, all nearby companions also explode, creating additional tactical challenges when encountering groups of these mobs.

This modification perfectly preserves the uniqueness of creepers as a game mechanic while making survival more reasonable and immersive. An excellent choice for those who want a more forgiving but still dangerous gaming experience.
