About this Mod
Creeper Nerf Plus makes creeper explosions do only half of normal damage to players, making surprise encounters less punishing. Creepers also now become afraid of players holding torches, offering an intuitive way to push them back without combat. This mod also causes torches to emit light when held in main or off-hand. In singleplayer your game is both server and client so everything works together automatically. But in multiplayer both player and server must have the mod installed.
