On the final release, I suggest migrating to ModLoader and allow it to use Settings API so you can toggle the mod on and off for Creeper and nonCreeper play.

At least some Modloader support is likely, but toggling the mod I'm not sure... that would be really tricky to do. I'll look into it I guess. As a workaround for now you can have a Creeper and non-Creeper minecraft.jar and rename one to minecraft.jar when you want to play that flavor.

BUMP!

I can't wait for the full version.
In my opinion Notch Should implement this as like, a Minigame, along with other Minigames. That would be a nice break from vanilla Minecraft.

Awesome mod. I'd like to see this implemented in SMP and having a Mob Horde vs. Survivors multiplayer match, comparable to the versus mode in Left 4 Dead. Only with creepers, skeletons and climbing spiders

I also have a suggestion. I think it would be quite cool if the creeper would start to smile just a second before he'd blew up. Like the little creeper in this picture:



You could try to repurpose the Ghast code for that since their face texture changes when they are firing a fire bolt. You'd also need a countdown, as opposed to an instant explosion, so that the victim actually gets to see your smiling face before you'd blow him to kingdom come. The whole idea would only make sense in SMP, though.

another mod for me I doubt i could have coded the creeper to blow up, but I have been trying to give myself an alternate form for a while... Could you pm me to let me know how you did it? I would be incredibly grateful

[Tiramo]

Are you ever gonna make this compatible with modloader?
Because I REALLY like this mod,
Though I don't want it to be my only mod...

[matt1314]

Wow, it's a... brillia... no.. EPIC mod!! Just awesome, I always wanted to play as a creeper! Finally we'll be able to change from the good to the dark side of Minecraft!

I'd love to get this into SMP, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I know some SSP mods have made their way to SMP, but I'm not sure how to interface this with the server... I have a few ideas and I'll look into it after I finish this mod.
As for smiles, that wouldn't be too hard. I already have timing in explosions (the video on the front page is old), so I think it would just be a texture swap. I'll look into it, but right now I'm doing monster AI.
EDIT: I just realized how many times I say "I'll look into it", heh. Really, I will.

[jaiden123123]

this mod is as the trolls say auwsarm, anyway's maybe you could make the creeper turn into the player at day and creeper at night?

[Gamer Stix]

Okay, LOVE this mod.

I also like how I keep my skin XD

One problem, I can't explode :/
EDIT: NEVERMIND GOT IT

EDIT 2:

One small suggestion. Since creepers have silent footprints, shouldn't you be making no footprint noises? Just a recomendation, as this is not nearly game breaking

Yeah, it's an easy fix but I found it too weird when the game was completely silent. I'll probably put an option in.

"No! I must kill the creeper" he shouted
The Menu said "No, Steve. You are the creeper"
And then Steve was a creeper.

Do I sense an Arby N' The Chief reference?

This mod is wintacular. I'll download it once it's unglitchy.

[lllminecraftlll]

thanks for the speedy message, really helpful .
When I press E, the creeper doesn't explode, it just hisses. I have no other mods installed

Are you holding down E? You have to charge the attack, like the normal creeper does.

[Xenoph]

Huh, I'd love a Creepers vs. Miners SMP game mode. Great work Sir!

[nekronuke]

So... what are the gamebreaking glitches? i see none. Can i hold blocks? and make a makeshift trench for trench warfare?

*miner sneaking carefully over the dirt*
*Creeper pops out of a hole*
Miner- WHATHEFA-
Creeper-SSSSSSSSSSSSS

I haven't found any yet, besides crippling incompatibility with some mods (which will get even worse in later releases because I'll be modifying the mob classes as well). In first person view, you can barely even tell you're creeper (besides exploding, and no hands).

When you were here before,
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

She's running out again
She's running out
She run run run run...
run... run...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't belong here...
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...

Whats this incompatibillity thing about? From what I see, it works fine with modloader, audiomod, humans mod, and HD patcher.

[Chechis]

[Rotten194]

Hey guysssss, great newssssss! I invented a machine that makessssss you read thissssss in my voice!
Also, Emperor Penguin made a pretty awesome banner for this mod.

Nice. Sums up creepers pretty well, no wonder they frown constantly!

Great! I'm worried about incompatibility because this mod doesn't go through ModLoader at all, so anything that uses the same class files will cause Minecraft to blackscreen. Considering I messed with some common files- EntityPlayer, for one- it's bound to cause at least some issues.
