About this project
What does Vein Creepers add?
Adds a bunch of extra creeper variants using a config file and two recipe types
When they explode, if nearby Stone blocks are around (configurable), then these blocks are infused with ores
First lay a trap
Then set items in your trap
After the trap converts the creeper, let it explode around certain blocks such as plain old stone to convert them into ore blocks
See example config and both types of JSON recipes HERE
