Environmental Creepers

This compact mod provides the ability to fine-tune various parameters of creeper explosions and other types of explosions in Minecraft. The most requested feature is the guaranteed dropping of all blocks destroyed by creeper explosions as items.

No more partially filled creeper craters!

Important: This mod only needs to be installed on the server side.

Note: Currently, the mod is incompatible with Sponge, as Forge explosion events do not trigger with Sponge installed. (Last checked in versions 1.10.2 or 1.12.2. Current compatibility status is unknown.)

Configuration Settings

All mod parameters are configured exclusively through the configuration file located at config/environmentalcreepers.<toml | json>. The Forge version uses files with the .toml extension, while Fabric/Quilt versions work with .json files.

In Minecraft versions 1.14 and above, the /environmentalcreepers-reload command is available, allowing the configuration file to be reloaded directly during gameplay without the need to re-enter the world in single player or restart the server. In single player mode, a graphical interface for changing settings is also available (not yet implemented in Forge versions for 1.14+).

The mod processes creeper explosions separately from all other types of explosions, allowing settings to be applied exclusively to creepers if that is the only required change.

Available configuration parameters:

• creeperChainReactionChance - Probability of chain reaction for each creeper within range, if enableCreeperExplosionChainReaction is activated. Range: 0.0 - 1.0
• creeperChainReactionMaxDistance - Maximum distance at which a creeper explosion can activate other creepers
• creeperExplosionBlockDropChance - Probability of destroyed blocks dropping as items during creeper explosions. Range 0.0 - 1.0, where 1.0 means guaranteed dropping of all blocks
• creeperExplosionStrengthCharged - Explosion strength of charged creepers. Standard value in vanilla game - 6.0 (twice that of normal creepers)
• creeperExplosionStrengthNormal - Explosion strength of normal creepers. Standard value in vanilla game - 3.0
• disableCreeperExplosionBlockDamage - Completely disables block destruction during creeper explosions
• disableCreeperExplosionCompletely - Completely prevents creeper explosions. Creepers only swell up
• disableCreeperExplosionItemDamage - Protects items on the ground from destruction during creeper explosions
• disableOtherExplosionBlockDamage - Completely disables block destruction during all explosions except creepers
• disableOtherExplosionItemDamage - Protects items on the ground from destruction during all explosions except creepers
• enableCreeperExplosionChainReaction - Activates chain reaction during creeper explosions
• modifyCreeperExplosionDropChance - Enables changing the probability of item drops during creeper explosions
• modifyCreeperExplosionStrength - Activates changing the strength of creeper explosions. Without this option, explosion strength parameters have no effect
• modifyOtherExplosionDropChance - Enables changing the probability of item drops during all explosions except creepers
• otherExplosionBlockDropChance - Similar to creeperExplosionBlockDropChance, but applies to all explosions except creepers
