Product page Downloads Documentation Roadmap

Install Creeper Eater #

Install Fabric Loader for 1.20.1 (plus Fabric API if the downloads page asks for it), place the JAR in your mods folder, and launch with the Fabric profile.

  1. Install the mod for your Minecraft version.
  2. Configure difficulty in config/creepers-eat-you.json5 if you want to tune it.
  3. Start a world — and stay out of the darkness.
  4. Survive, or be devoured.

Working with Creeper Eater #

Product-specific steps, separate from the general install guide above.

Choose your fear level

This is the standard build. For the ruthless variant grab **Creeper Eater: Ultra Hard** — never mix the two jars.

Tune the difficulty

Edit **config/creepers-eat-you.json5** (game closed) to adjust detection and devour behaviour.

MultiMC / Prism users: these folders live inside Instances/<instance>/.minecraft/. Match the build to your exact Minecraft version — the compatibility table in the docs lists every supported version.

Settings live in the config folder (JSON5 files you can edit by hand) and, where available, in the in-game settings screen the mod adds. The exact keys and keybinds are listed in the documentation and the FAQ below.

Tips for Creeper Eater #

  • Keep Creeper Eater on the version range shown on its product page.
  • If it doesn't load, confirm the JAR is in the right mods folder for the launcher and version you chose.
  • Bedrock Edition, mobile, and console can't run Java Edition mods or packs — for a port or custom variant, request a commission.

Creeper Eater FAQ #

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.
Which versions are supported?
1.20.1, 1.21.1 through 1.21.11, and experimental 26.x builds.
