Adventure and RPG Cosmetic Mobs Utility & QoL

Instead of only running from them, you can approach them safely with a creeper head, weaken them with a special biscuit, tame them, and keep them with you as a combat companion.

This mod is built around survival-friendly mechanics rather than creative-only gimmicks.

How It Works

  1. Wear a Creeper Head or Happy Creeper Mask to get close safely.
  2. Feed the creeper an Anti-Blast Biscuit to weaken it.
  3. Feed the weakened creeper a Sweet Gunpowder Biscuit to tame it.
  4. Right-click your tamed creeper with an empty hand to open its companion UI.
  5. Use Shift + right-click with an empty hand to switch between follow and stay in the world.
  6. Heal it directly or let it use stored fuel automatically when hurt.

Tamed Creeper Features

  • Follows its owner and can be told to stay
  • Teleports back if it gets left behind
  • Changes dimension with its owner
  • Resyncs after the owner respawns
  • Works correctly with leads
  • No longer counts as a nearby monster for sleeping
  • Defends the owner from hostile mobs
  • Attacks mobs the owner is fighting
  • Keeps fighting mobs that switch aggro onto the creeper itself
  • Uses a small contact blast attack instead of normal self-destruction
  • Dies with a larger non-destructive final explosion
  • Has increased health compared to a normal creeper
  • Can equip helmets and chestplates
  • Can store fuel and automatically self-heal below half health

Visual Features

  • Weakened creepers show a continuous visual effect
  • Tamed creepers use a custom happy green texture by default
  • Tamed creepers can be recolored with dyes
  • Reusing the same dye does not waste the item
  • Rainbow Biscuit unlocks a smooth rainbow mode that cycles through colored creeper textures

Companion UI

  • 3D creeper preview
  • Helmet slot
  • Chestplate slot
  • Fuel slot
  • Health display
  • Active status effect icons
  • Follow/stay button
  • Shows the creeper's custom name when named with a name tag

Items

  • Biscuit
  • Anti-Blast Biscuit
  • Sweet Gunpowder Biscuit
  • Rainbow Biscuit
  • Happy Creeper Mask

Current Release Notes

This release is intended as a wider beta playtest build.

The taming loop is fully playable, with companion armor management, potion support, recolors, rainbow mode, a dedicated creeper UI, and fuel-based self-healing in place. Balance and polish are still in progress.
