Celebrating the end of a 12 year update drought!

12 year drought-end celebration

After 12 years and a lot of life lived, I have finally updated Elemental Creepers to a recent version of Minecraft. It required (another) full rewrite of the mod which I used as an opportunity to improve the functionality of some of the elemental explosions.

Elemental Creepers adds 15 new kinds of creeper to Minecraft with various elemental explosion effects such as setting fire to everything nearby, zapping entities with lightning, or even being friendly and tamable to attack hostile mobs like wolves!

Here are some of the new creepers you can find, there are many many more however!
