Creeper Overhaul guide for All the Mods 10 0.32 to 8.1

Creeper Overhaul replaces the vanilla creeper with a variety of biome-specific creeper types. Some are friendlier than others, so don't assume every new creeper is out to blow up your base.^[1]

It's a mob mod, so it's for anyone who wants the world to feel more varied as they explore. If you're travelling through different biomes, expect to meet different kinds of creepers along the way.^[1]

In this pack

The pack ships Creeper Overhaul 4.0.6, built for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1. It has been in the pack since version 2.25 or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of the mod list.^[2]

Unverified The sources don't show any quests, progression gates or ATM Star path steps tied to this mod, and no in-jar guidebook was found. They also don't confirm any pack-specific changes to its spawns, configs or recipes, so treat it as a world-flavour mod rather than a progression one.

Good news: Creeper Overhaul doesn't need any crafting to get going. The mod replaces the vanilla creeper with a variety of biome-specific creeper types, and some of them are friendlier than others. So your first step is simply to explore and see which creepers show up where you are.^[1]

What to make first

There is no crafting order to follow for this mod. I couldn't find any in-pack recipes that produce its items, and no quests in this pack involve it, so there's nothing for me to point you to with a recipe block.^[1]

Unverified Whether any Creeper Overhaul creeper drops special items, how each creeper type behaves, and which biome spawns which type are not covered by the available sources, so I can't confirm them for this pack.

Creeper Overhaul works differently from most mods in the pack. Its project page describes it as a mod that overhauls the vanilla creepers. It replaces the vanilla creeper with a variety of biome-specific creeper types, and some of them are friendlier than others.^[1]

So the core mechanic is simple: the creeper you meet depends on the biome you are in, and it can behave differently from the vanilla one.^[1]

Unverified The available sources do not describe any machines, multiblocks, power, fluid or item handling, or automation for this mod. They also do not explain how each creeper type behaves, which biomes each one spawns in, or what the friendlier ones do. The pack has no config files, recipes or tooltips for this mod to check either. Treat anything beyond the biome-specific replacement of vanilla creepers as unconfirmed.

All the Mods 10 8.1 ships Creeper Overhaul 4.0.6, the NeoForge build for 1.21.1. The mod has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 0.32 or earlier.^[2]

Creeper Overhaul 4.0.4

The mod's own changelog for 4.0.4 lists these changes:^[3]

• Creepers are marked as shearable.^[3]
• The mod now uses the creeper igniters tag.^[3]
• Updated to the latest NeoForge.^[3]

The pack runs a newer build than 4.0.4, so these changes are part of what you get in 8.1.^[2][3]

Unverified The sources here do not include pack changelog entries for this mod, or the mod's own changelogs for the releases after 4.0.4. What changed in those releases, and which pack release first included 4.0.4, is not shown here.
