Consenting Creepers

Introduction

When a Creeper is about to explode, it doesn’t! It pauses and asks for your consent:

| Answer | What happens |
| — | — |
| Yes, I consent | It explodes normally. |
| No, thank you | It’s dismissed with a puff of hearts. |
| No answer within 10 seconds | It explodes normally. |
| Closing the dialog | It explodes normally. |

What’s different

• A waiting Creeper can still move, swim, drown, and gets pushed around. Only its fuse is on hold.
• If it loses interest, or drifts out of range before you answer, it drops the question and doesn’t explode.
• One answer covers every Creeper waiting to explode near you, so a group doesn’t stack up dialogs.
• Creepers ignited by flint and steel, dispensers, etc ask too, at a range you can set.
• Charged Creepers, custom fuses and renamed Creepers all work.

Installation

1. Download the release .zip.
2. Drop it into <world>/datapacks/.
3. /reload, or load the world.

Commands

| Command | What it does |
| — | — |
| /function cc:set_ignited_range {blocks:16} | How far an ignited Creeper looks for somebody to ask. Default 7, minimum 7. Survives reloads and restarts. |
| /function cc:uninstall | Returns every Creeper to normal and removes all traces of the pack. Run this before deleting the pack. |

[!TIP]

For picking a range: a Creeper’s blast reaches about 6 blocks, a charged Creeper’s is about 12.

[!NOTE]

Answering displays Triggered [cc_consent] (set value to X) in your chat. To disable this, use the following command:

“`

/gamerule sendCommandFeedback false

“`

This hides the feedback from every command you type, not just this one.
