Stable Mods & Challenges v2.1

Creeper Eater: Ultra Hard

FAQ

Questions, answered

How is this different from Creeper Eater?

Ultra Hard is a completely separate project: stricter AI, faster devours, hardcore enforcement, and no mercy tuning. Standard Creeper Eater is the more forgiving entry point.

Is there a difficulty option?

Ultra Hard is tuned to a single ruthless curve. Fine-tuning lives in the JSON5 config, but there is no 'easy'.

Can I use both mods together?

No — they are separate projects with separate builds. Pick one per world.

Which versions are supported?

1.21.1 through 1.21.11, plus experimental 26.x builds.

Compatibility & limitations
