Configuration file path: config/creeperevolution/creeper-evolution.json (Generated on launch).

{
  // WARNING: DO NOT COPY THIS EXAMPLE JSON

  // All of this was made clear in the features list
  "creeper_target_passives": false,
  "no_creeper_grief": false,
  "no_creeper_flee": false,
  "no_fall_damage": false,
  "check_visibility": true,
  "creeper_pounce": false,
  "random_fuse_time": false,
  "extra_ignition_sources": true,
  "charged_creeper_charging": true,
  "charged_creeper_spawn_chance": 0.2
}

Every single setting is a simple boolean value (true/false) besides charged_creeper_spawn_chance, which is a float that goes from 0.00 to 1.00 (0% to 100%).

Edit the values and restart the server or use /ce reload to apply said changes. Delete the JSON file if it ever becomes malformed to let it regenerate.

Support

Thank you for downloading. I would really appreciate it if you could report any potential issues you encounter in the comments section of the CurseForge mod page, as I currently have no other way to receive feedback.
You can also support me by sharing the mod around, as it really motivates me to work on it when there are people benefiting from its usage, no matter how small.
