CreeperBeGone

Keep creepers permanently “fused” so they never explode. No commands, no configs — just drop it in.

Features

• Cancels creeper explosions globally (server-wide), without touching other explosions (TNT, beds, etc.).
• Keeps creepers in a visual fused/ignited state (they hiss and pursue) but never detonate.
• No configuration or commands required.
• Lightweight: a single listener on explosion priming.

Requirements

• Paper (Minecraft 1.21+)
• Java 21

Installation

1. Download the JAR (or build from source, see below).
2. Place it into your server’s plugins folder.
3. Start or restart the server.

That’s it — all creepers will stay fused and won’t explode.

How it works

The plugin listens for ExplosionPrimeEvent and, when the entity is a creeper:

• Cancels the explosion.
• Sets a very long fuse (setMaxFuseTicks(...)) and keeps the fuse near “ignited” (setFuseTicks(1)).
• Optionally sets setExplosionRadius(0) as a safety guard.

Result: creepers hiss and chase but never detonate; no block damage, no explosion damage, no drops from explosions.

Compatibility notes

• Only affects creepers. TNT, bed explosions, respawn anchors, etc. are not modified.
• Designed for modern Paper 1.21.10 — older versions are not supported by this build.

Troubleshooting

• Creepers still explode:
  • Check for conflicting plugins that force explosions.
  • Verify the plugin is loaded (/plugins) and not disabled/renamed.
  • Ensure you’re running a compatible Paper build and Java 21.
• Performance issues:
  • This plugin is minimal and event-driven; performance impact should be negligible.
