Overview #
Creeper Eater: Ultra Hard is the standalone, uncompromising variant of Creeper Eater. Creepers detect you sooner, chase you relentlessly — the chase AI tracks through walls up to 15 blocks at 1.3× speed — and devour you faster: devour replaces the explosion (no block damage), a dodged devour fizzles rather than punishing instantly, difficulty is forced to Hard/Hardcore, spawns are doubled, and creepers spawn cross-dimension and during the day. There is no difficulty slider for mercy; there is only survival. It ships as its own version line (uhceu) and must never be installed alongside standard Creeper Eater.
Creeper Eater turned creepers into hunters. Ultra Hard removes every safety net: heightened detection, relentless pursuit, faster devours, and hardcore rules that make every mistake permanent. Built for players who finished Creeper Eater and asked for more.
Quick start #
- Install the Ultra Hard build for your Minecraft version — files named uhceu-2.1-… (1.21.1 → 1.21.11 published, 26.x experimental).
- Do not mix these files with the standard Creeper Eater jar — they are independent projects.
- Start a world knowing that every mistake may be your last — difficulty is forced to Hard/Hardcore on load.
- Learn what changed: 1.3× wall-tracking chase AI through walls up to 15 blocks, fast devour timers, doubled spawns, cross-dimension and daytime spawning.
- Optional: fine-tune in the JSON5 config — but there is no 'easy'; the curve is single and ruthless.
- Survive — if you can.
Configuration #
Fine-tuning lives only in the JSON5 config (game closed). There is no easy mode — the config adjusts tension, not mercy.
