This mod is in early development and was built with AI assistance (DeepSeek Harness, model
deepseek-flash). Not every line of code, nor every page of documentation or design decision, has been reviewed and tested by a human author. If that matters to you, you should know it before you download — which is why it is the first thing on this page.

这个模组仍处于早期开发阶段，并且是在 AI 辅助下完成的（DeepSeek Harness，模型

Why would a creature abandon its survival instinct and instead resort to self-explosion as a means of attack on its evolutionary journey? For the sake of reproduction.

一种生物在演化的路上，为什么会放弃求生本能、把自爆当成攻击手段？——为了繁殖。

Creefern. Creeper + fern. Say the name out loud and the joke lands: the Creeper is a plant.
Which explains a few things. Plants take their colour from where they grow — so this one does too, and so, if you let it, does every Creeper in your world: they wear the colour of the grass at their feet. Plants come from seed — and this one's seed is Creespores, whether you scatter them by hand or let a Creeper do the sowing. Plants grow — and this one grows up into something you would walk past without a second look, because once it is fully grown it is indistinguishable from a vanilla Large Fern.
A creature that is good at pretending, that gambles everything on its offspring, and that has stopped being clearly either. It is a plant, or it is an animal — and it is very comfortable being neither.

Creefern。Creeper + fern，苦力怕加蕨。
把这个名字念出来，玩笑就成立了：苦力怕其实是一种植物。
于是很多事都说得通了。植物从脚下的土地取色——所以它也这样；而只要你不反对，你世界里每一只苦力怕也会这样：它们穿着脚下草地的颜色。植物由种子长成——它的种子就是苦力孢子（Creespores）；你可以亲手撒下去，也可以让一只苦力怕替你播种。植物会长大——它长成之后你从旁边走过都不会多看一眼，因为一株长成的苦力蕨和原版大型蕨别无二致。
一种擅长伪装的生物，把一切都押在后代身上，并且已经不再清楚地属于哪一边。它是植物，也是动物——而它很乐意两头都不算。

You will find Creespores in the wild: Creefern grows on its own in the biomes where Creepers live, above ground and below it, and any mature plant gives up its spores when you break it. But the volume comes from somewhere else — let a Creeper explode. A detonation does not just destroy: it sows, spreading spores across the blast radius, and every spot where a spore can legally take root grows a new Creefern. What cannot be planted simply drops, and you pick it up. Better still, every mature plant out there produces a vanilla Creeper of its own and then resets to a seedling, so the crop keeps restocking itself — and breaking one that is well grown pays out a second roll of the vanilla Creeper loot table, Looting included. So yes: you can farm Creepers without standing next to them.

苦力孢子在世界里能采到：苦力蕨自己在会刷苦力怕的群系里生长，地表和地下都有，打掉一株成熟植株就能收下它的孢子。但批量来源是另一条路——诱导苦力怕爆炸。爆炸不只破坏，它还会播种：孢子在爆炸半径里散开，每一处能合法落种的地方都会长出一株新的苦力蕨；种不下去的直接变成掉落物，你捡走就好。更妙的是，野外每一株成熟植株都会自己产出一只原版苦力怕，然后复位成幼株，于是这片作物会一直自己补货——而打掉一株长得够久的，还会额外 roll 一次原版苦力怕战利品表，抢夺附魔照样生效。所以是的：你可以种苦力蕨来「刷」苦力怕，而且不用站在它旁边。

Creespores are more than seed. They are also, in no particular order:

In the real world, nitroglycerin is the main component of black powder — and an effective medicine for heart disease. Which means the plant has been holding out on you.
Brewed from Creespores, it is, first of all, an excellent combat potion: while it lasts, a creeper that wants you dead very often simply does not get you. What it is not is free. The compound the Creeper secretes — some unidentified polymeric nitro compound, as far as anyone can tell — comes with a side effect best described as explosive, and the finer the brewing, the less of that risk you are carrying. Which is to say: there is a difference between a potion that keeps you alive and a cheap one. Choose your own odds, and mind what you feed it to.

现实里，硝酸甘油既是黑火药的主要成分，也是治疗心脏病的有效药物。也就是说，这株植物一直瞒着你一手。
用它酿出的药水，首先是一瓶优秀的战斗药剂：效果持续期间，想置你于死地的苦力怕往往就是碰不到你。但它不是白给的——苦力怕分泌的某种未知高分子硝基化合物，带来一种只能形容为「炸裂的」副作用，而酿得越精，你身上背的这份风险就越小。也就是说，一瓶保命的药水和一瓶便宜的药水，是两回事。选你自己的赔率，也留意你把它喂给了谁。

Install Jade and Creefern disguises itself. Look at it and you are looking at a vanilla Large Fern: the vanilla name, the vanilla icon, the source line reading Minecraft, and not a word about growth. It does not break character until it is standing next to you as a Creeper.
中文
装了 Jade，苦力蕨会伪装自己。看向它，你看到的就是一株原版大型蕨：原版的名字、原版的图标、「来源」行写着 Minecraft，对生长状态只字不提。它不会露馅——直到它变成一只苦力怕站在你旁边。

Creefern does not draw its own art. Its stage textures — and the greyscale Creeper behind the biome tinting — are generated at runtime from your resource pack, which is why the plant always matches the ground it stands on, whatever you have installed. Change your resource pack and it does not silently redraw: it asks you first. And if you would rather it stopped pretending — or the runtime textures are giving you trouble — you can turn them off and go back to the built-in fallback.
中文
苦力蕨不自己画贴图。它的各阶段贴图——以及群系染色背后那张灰度苦力怕——都是运行时按你当前资源包生成的，所以不管你装了什么包，它总跟脚下的地面对得上。换了资源包，它不会闷头重画，而是先问你。如果你反而希望它别再装下去——或者运行时贴图让你遇到了麻烦——关掉它、退回内置贴图即可。

/creefern res disable turns the runtime textures off for this session only; restart and it follows your config again. There is also a built-in set of stage textures the mod falls back to on its own, so a declined or failed runtime pack never leaves you with purple-and-black blocks.blockVanillaCreeperSpawn only blocks natural Creeper spawns. Spawners, spawn eggs, commands, and the Creepers that grow out of a mature Creefern are untouched.中文
/creefern res disable 关掉运行时贴图只影响当前这一次游戏；重启后按配置恢复。模组本身也带一套内置阶段贴图作为兜底，所以拒绝或生成失败都不会让你看见紫黑方块。blockVanillaCreeperSpawn 只拦截自然生成的原版苦力怕。刷怪笼、刷怪蛋、命令，以及成熟苦力蕨产出的苦力怕都不受影响。EN
