Overview #
Creeper Eater replaces creeper explosions with instant devour attacks, turning Minecraft into a genuine survival challenge. Creepers no longer explode — they hunt you down and consume you. If the standard challenge is not enough, Creeper Eater: Ultra Hard cranks it even further.
Creepers exploding on sight is predictable. Creeper Eater flips the encounter: creepers no longer explode — they hunt you down and devour you. It turns the game into a genuine survival challenge with new stakes.
Quick start #
- Install the mod for your Minecraft version.
- Configure difficulty in config/creepers-eat-you.json5 if you want to tune it.
- Start a world — and stay out of the darkness.
- Survive, or be devoured.
Frequently asked questions #
How does the devour attack work?
Instead of exploding, a creeper that reaches you instantly consumes you — no explosion to escape, only the creeper's approach to read.
Can I tune difficulty?
Yes, through config/creepers-eat-you.json5.
What is the difference with Ultra Hard?
Ultra Hard is a separate, harder project with stricter rules and no mercy. This project is the standard experience.
Does it replace normal creepers entirely?
It changes their behaviour from exploding to hunting and devouring.
Does it work on servers?
It is designed as a survival challenge mod; confirm compatibility with your server setup.
