Creeper Overhaul

What it adds#

Creeper Overhaul replaces the vanilla creeper with creepers that match the biome they spawn in. There are 16 types: Jungle, Bamboo, Desert, Badlands, Hills, Savannah, Mushroom, Swamp, Dripstone, Cave, Dark Oak, Spruce, Beach, Snowy, Ocean and Birch creepers. They look different and some behave differently; the mod's own description says that some are friendlier than others. It also adds a small decorative block, the Tiny Cactus.

Getting started#

Nothing needs to be done: the creepers spawn on their own in matching biomes and caves. Learn to recognize them, because they no longer look like the green vanilla creeper. A creeper that blends into a jungle or a dripstone cave is still a creeper.

Tips#

• Listen for the hiss. It is the most reliable warning when a creeper is camouflaged.
• Explosions still break blocks in Nytheria, so keep creepers away from your base.
• Ocean creepers can reach you in the water, so do not assume you are safe while swimming.
• Every variant has a spawn egg in creative, which helps to compare them.
