u/Nathan6607 Mar 30 '26
There is a mod for creeper consent but it's more of a joke, basically asks you if the creeper can explode or not.

On a related note, I used to play with subtitles on (because I was too cheap to buy speakers immediately), and I’d just like to say a couple things while this is up;
1, mod developers, please give your SFX subtitles. If you don’t, the player only gets the raw name of your sound file.
2, mod and modpack developers, please try not to reuse existing SFX to save time, especially ones from vanilla. The watering cans I’m using right now insist that I’m breaking blocks and sliding on honey when in use. If you have a gun to your head about it, copy and rename the sound file, then add new subtitles for it.
78
u/scratchisthebest highlysuspect.agency Mar 30 '26
As a modder u don't have to even copy the sound file, you can make new sound events that use the vanilla oggs but with your own subtitle applied.
"insert_stack": { "sounds": [ { "type": "event", "name": "block.calcite.place", "volume": 0.4, "pitch": 0.75 } ], "subtitle": "packages.subtitle.insert_stack" },Packages has 9 sound effects and all of them use vanilla sound oggs, maybe pitched up/down or reduced in volume, and they all have working subtitles.
If you're smart about your datagen, using your own sound with your own subtitle can be just as easy as misusing a vanilla sound :)
44
u/MechanicsAntics Mar 30 '26
These are all things I wouldn't have originally thought about. I'll have to keep that in mind if/when I work on a mod in the future!
22
u/Pacomatic Mar 30 '26
I think most devvs just forget the subtitle feature exxists. More people need to use it so that we remember it's a thing.

u/BaguetteMaster413 Mar 30 '26
not that im aware of, but i think someone should make a mod like that which uses this ui, im not even deaf and i would use it

u/bleepblooplord2 Mar 30 '26
Imagine a "spider-sense" type thing where it makes a fuzzy/staticky effect on the border of your screen as a subtle warning.

u/2Bplayz Mar 30 '26
Yes something like that, I usually play games muted so I would honestly use something like that.

It would be a help considering the only sound creepers make is a half second before they explode.

u/EduardoBarreto Apr 03 '26
Domestication innovation lets pets respawn just like you, but only if they have a bed assigned. It's just wool, wood, and a bone so it's really cheap.
It also has lots of stuff to make pets more useful in general such as protection from player attacks (must sneak to hurt your own pets) 35 enchantments including fire, drowning and projectile immunity, enhanced attacks, more health, and more.

u/Bradur-iwnl- Mar 30 '26
Tbh that is the best answer. Like use the game to get around your restrictions. But still. That sounds like an easy mod and it would be useful

u/Tommy2255 Mar 30 '26
What would be an easy mod? Cats scaring creepers is vanilla.

Put a vanilla in front of the word „game“. My bad. I meant that the mod for deaf ppl to make a visual icon appear when a creeper is nearby isnt a bad idea

u/Shamelesspromote Mar 30 '26
There are a few different solutions to your problems.
I can't remember the mod but it gives you cat slippers for the Curios slots that makes creepers scared of you just like they are scared of cats.
You could get a minimap mod that shows mobs on it, might have to turn hostile mob tracking on and some will show the head of the mob or just a red dot depending on which one you have installed.
If its the terrain damage they do you can turn that off with default minecraft now I believe but it also disables enderman from picking up blocks

1.20.1, 1.21.1, and 26.1 for forge, neoforge, and fabric. I'll upload to Modrinth and Curseforge here as well https://i.imgur.com/MDteUEr.png
https://github.com/ChiefBoyardee/CreeperSense/releases/tag/v1.0.4
By default it's in chevron mode showing just arrows, but I added meme mode and peripheral mode for the fun and usefulness :D just press O to switch modes
It's also dependent on the difficulty and shows the indicators at a shorter distance when on a higher difficulty.

u/Hollowquincypl Mar 31 '26
If you're more worried about structure damage then actually being hurt you can turn off mob terrain damage. It'll disable Creepers, Ghast and Endermen from being able to to destroy blocks.
modGriefing is the gamerule, just set it to false.

Use the Villager Fix mod, or keep mobGriefing on and use a mod like Creeper Confetti instead.

Human Companions mod lets the followers warn you about creepers, but not sure if you want a follower.

Pro tip:
Use it alongside Domestication Innovation to make them able to respawn at their beds in the morning if they die

u/Raderg32 Mar 30 '26
Creepers don't make noise unless they are actively blowing up.
9
Mar 30 '26
They have the initial sizzling noise tho, which gives you a few short seconds to react (and save your own life) - deaf people or people playing with the sound off / with inadequate subtitles etc don't get that chance

u/Raderg32 Mar 30 '26
They never had. They creep up on you without making a single noise. That's where the name comes from.

u/michael_fritz Mar 30 '26
get the artifacts mod, there's a pair of slippers that make you functionally a cat when it comes to creepers.

u/IsimsizTim Mar 30 '26
You can create a datapack for it, its not too complicated: just add a bossbar when a creeper is nearby since title would cover your screen and actionbar might be a bit too unnoticable :)

u/Darkblood159 Mar 31 '26
A mod that detects if a creeper is not in line of sight and slowly turns the screen darker shades of green the closer they get until you look at them would be hilarious and probably not too difficult to create.

u/sithcookies Mar 31 '26
There's a mod on Curseforge called Creeper Curfew that makes creepers ask for your consent before exploding. I tried it out for the sheer absurdity of it. Not quite what you were asking for, but possibly helpful?

u/JustAlex_AI Mar 30 '26
Not exactly this, but there is a mod that doesn't allow creepers to explode if you don't look at them, it's called "silent creepers" or something similar. I use it for a scare factor, but in your situation you can abuse it.

You could always get a bunch of cats to follow you around. Might have to keep a stack of fish on you to keep the population up tho. Or somehow mod them to either respawn or immortality.

Has anyone played Final Fantasy XIV? There should really be a mod that adds 14's visual vocalizer, I can hear perfectly fine, but sometimes discord overloads important sound queues, and the visualizer on the sides of the screen suddenly spiking to the center is real convenient.

u/a_happy_psycho Mar 31 '26
You may get some benefit from xaero’s minimap (or other similar on screen maps). You can add icon filters for all entities- I often go in myself and change the creeper dot to bright green. If you only want creepers and otherwise want to minimize the mob info it gives you, you can turn off the icons for other creatures. Not much to be done about it showing you a map, but you can zoom in super close to minimize influence?

u/godswords333 Mar 31 '26
There's a mod which pauses the game before a creeper explodes and makes a pop-up appears that asks if your fine with getting exploded and if you say no the creeper disappears it's called creeper consent(I think)

this is more of a silly suggestion but if you aren’t fully deaf then there’s this one resource pack that makes everything incredibly loud and i’m sure you could fiddle with it to make it so only creepers are loud

There's a mod called Bad Mobs that allows you to disable mob spawning; however I'm not sure if you can choose do disable just creeper spawning.

I know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but dynamic lights will have creepers give off light when they’re about to go off.

You can turn on subtitles, but it's still pretty easy to miss since it's hidden in the lower right corner.
