About this Mod

Imagine if other mobs in Minecraft could use an elytra...and maybe fly better than you can!

The Elytra Creepers mod features AI-controlled creepers capable of advanced flight using elytras. The creepers are trained to fly to a grounded target as quickly as possible while minimizing fall damage. They can even outpace moving targets and still hit them with potentially point-blank explosions!

Requirements

Minecraft version 1.21.1. I am currently working on updates for 1.21.3+. These updates are a bit more complicated that I had anticipated, so it will take some time. Thank you for your patience.
