Retcon Creepers
Prevents creepers from spawning and makes witches a valid source of gunpowder and music discs.
About this Mod
Whether you just hate Creepers blowing up your house or need Creepers disabled for a specific modpack, this mod tries to (with compatibility in mind) remove the Creeper from the game.
Currently it does so by:
- Setting the spawn chance of Creepers to zero.
- Adding the loot table of the Creeper onto the Witch.
This allows a source of gunpowder and music discs while removing the creeper.
This mod does not remove the creeper as a registered mob for the simple reason of not destroying other mods. If another mod makes one small tweak to creepers, it'd implode and everyone involved will want to cry.
! This mod is not a peitition to remove Creepers. !
I want to make this mod able to disable group spawns as a config option too.
That's my real stance, I just don't like that they can spawn in groups lol
The Creeper is an iconic part of the game, but the point of mods is to be able to reimagine and modify the game just for the sake of it. This is an option for those who want a game with no Creepers.
