What's been Dug Up: Mutant Creepers

Hey there guys! Have you thought about how someone could make Minecraft much more dangerous than it already is? Well, that someone has already made the mod perfect for that and it's called: Mutant Creatures Mod. This mod is created by a player known on the Minecraft Forums as thehippomaster21 and it looks pretty insane.

                     

First off, there are some new recipes put into play for this mod. 1 recipe is 1 water bottle surrounded by 4 obsidian to make Chemical X and the other is 1 gunpowder surrounded by 4 cobblestone to make Creeper Stats. Chemical X activates when thrown and the smoke from the impact is affecting a nearby mob. This process can either kill them or turn them into a mutant.

The Mutant Creeper appears to have its original 4 legs lengthened and its body curved. This version of the Creeper has 5 new attacks, which includes performing a large jump and causing an explosion on impact as well as spawning Creeper minions. Keep in mind that it will cause an explosion when you kill it, not before. At pre-explosion, it acts as a black hole, meaning sucking in all mobs and players and then exploding at an expanded radius.

When you kill a Mutant Creeper, it drops an egg. You can mine the egg to get a Creeper Shard (though, there's only a 50 percent chance) or put it on your head (right-click the egg) where, after a couple of days, it will hatch into a baby Creeper. The baby Creeper can be named and tamed by the player while also having the option to not destroy blocks when it explodes using Creeper Stats.

The Creeper Shard stores power the more the player uses it in attacks until it has enough to use the iconic Creeper move: self-explosion. When a player executes the explosion, there is only damage inflicted on the surroundings, while there is none on the player. It's an excellent way to at least knock back an attacking monster, given a little a bit of power.
