Important message to modders!
If you are:
1) Currently writing/maintaining a mod that is incompatible with MinecraftForge, or
2) Currently writing/maintaining a mod that is not base-clean
Then this message is for you! If you need some help porting your mod to MinecraftForge, or if you need a couple extra hooks to make your mod work without base mods, feel free to drop me an email.
My target audience here is people who actually write mods, not users of incompatible mods. I will not fix bugs in mods that you are not the current maintainer of (unless I wrote those mods, of course, I fix my own bugs).
I'm one of the maintainers of MinecraftForge, so I can add new hooks to it, if required.

Aqua's Wacky Creepers Mod
FAQ
Q: Does this mod have a config file?
A: Yes, it will be placed in your .minecraft folder as CreeperConfig.ini
Q: Is this mod compatible with *insert mod here*?
A: WackyCreepers should be compatible with every mod currently available that uses ModLoader or ForgeModloader. It is a base-clean mod (it doesn't modify any native Minecraft classes). If you find an incompatibility please contact me at [email protected]
What is it?
Wacky Creepers is a small mod that adds new mobs to the game. These mobs are wacky and interesting variations on the creeper (hence the name) that will hopefully supplement your minecraft experience. This mod requires modloader, which can be found here. WackyCreepers features a config where you can select which creepers you want to spawn and how common each creeper will be. Keep in mind that this will not be necessarily the most ground breaking of mods as it is my first, but do not hesitate to criticize or (if you care to) give suggestions. You can reach me at [email protected] which is usually checked daily.
What do the creepers do?
Images Imgur Album: Wacky Creepers Mod
Fireworks Creeper
A red and white banded creeper with its feet on fire. When it takes damage (you punch it in the face for example) it will launch itself into the air at high speeds and then explode in a big bunch of colorful sparks! Every explosion has two colors, randomly selected between white, blue, red, green, and yellow. The Fireworks creeper is the perfect creeper for any celebration that requires high explosives! Be careful though, as its explosion can cause fires if handled improperly! Fireworks creeper spawn on beaches, in the desert, or on frozen ocean.
Poison Creeper
Dull purple and sickly green creepers that explode in a cloud of poisonous gas which (predictably) poisons the player. They drop rotten flesh and mushrooms.
Nature Creeper
They masquerade as a normal creeper, but are much less harmful. When they explode they spread tall grass and flowers onto any grass (much like bonemeal except a larger affect), and place biome specific fauna (saplings on grass and cacti in deserts) as well as heal the player.
Magic Creeper
Bright shiny purple creepers that explode in a puff of magical smoke. They float around in mid air ad when they reach the player cast a magic spell (causing a random potion effect). They spawn anywhere and wear incredibly stylish top hats. When they die they will drop a random potion.
Flash Creeper
Bright yellow creepers that explode in a flash of smoke and light, but don't die upon exploding. Also blind the player, reducing vision further. They are incredibly annoying, especially if coupled with other creatures (flash creepers cause no damage on their own).
Fish Creepers
Dull blue and green creepers that swim around in oceans, rivers, and lakes. When they explode, their explosion holes fill in with still water, spreading their watery domains further inland. Eventually they will take over all of the land mass, muahahaha! When killed they drop raw fish.
Party Creeper
Pink and wildly colorful creepers that love to throw parties wherever they roam (in any biome). They explode into a dazzling cloud of rainbow confetti and leave behind a delicious cake. Yummy!
Ninja Creeper
Hooded and mysterious creepers that disguise as other creepers. When they get close enough they throw off their disguise and strike from above with great speed! If you manage to hit them they will teleport away (leaving a log where they were) and attack you from their new location. They are a nasty foe that is hard to trap or escape from, so if you are able to defeat them you are rewarded with some great rewards! However, they are not impenetrable in that they take double damage when not disguised! They spawn in forests (both normal and icy) and in swamps.

I am so sorry for this bug! I'm still learning to mod effectively, so many bugs slip through my limited testing. I hope to get a few people to test for this kind of stuff later, but right now its only me so I get so excited about something new I've added that I forget to test everything, leading to stuff like this. In an attempt to make the download smaller I accidentally caused many mobs not to render properly! The new version no longer has this problem. Thank you for your patience!
Thank you very much!

I should update the main post with this information.
The fish creeper drops raw fish, the party, nature, and flash creepers drop nothing (or gunpowder? I didn't change the default i don't think), the magic creeper drops potions (randomly selected), and the poison creeper drops rotten flesh and mushrooms. Thanks for asking!
Thank you very much! I have party creepers set to be relatively rare, but I don't know how it would actually play in a long survival play-through.

Thanks for the support! I'm glad to have it completed. I think i'll take on more interesting projects in the future, although this one was very fun as well.
I think that its better because this way you can only use it where it is and nowhere else. There is a certain inconvenience to not being able to take it with you like you could with the ingredients. Thank you for the suggestion through. Maybe I could have it drop the ingredients if you kill it? But that way you wouldn't have the wonderful confetti...
Right now you can only change whether or not you want them to spawn. Changing the spawn rates is not currently in the mod, but it wouldn't be too hard to implement I don't think.
