Vein Creepers FAQ

Craft the Infusion Mob Trap block and place it on the ground, then add the required items into it. Lure a regular creeper onto the trap, and it will convert into a vein creeper variant based on the items you used.

Different ore types require different infusion items—check the trap's tooltip or your mod's config file to see which items create which vein creeper variants.

Once you have a vein creeper, ignite it with flint and steel or let it approach mobs to trigger its fuse. When it explodes near stone blocks, those blocks will transform into ore blocks matching that creeper's type.

Yes—the type of vein creeper you create determines what ore it generates. Use different infusion items in the trap to create variants for lapis, diamond, copper, or other ores.

Make sure the trap block has the correct items inside it and that a regular creeper actually walks onto the trap—converted creepers may despawn if you're too far away, so stay nearby during the conversion.

Yes—you can build a farm that funnels creepers onto trap blocks and then ignites the converted vein creepers in a controlled stone chamber to harvest the generated ores.

Vein creeper explosions still destroy blocks like regular creepers, so they're best used in dedicated farms or controlled environments away from your builds.

Yes—you can add custom variants through config files or datapacks by defining new infusion recipes and ore conversion rules.

Yes, vein creepers function in multiplayer servers, but make sure all players have the mod installed and the server has the mod loaded.

Large-scale vein creeper farms can impact performance due to block updates and explosions—consider spacing out your traps or limiting how many creepers you convert at once if you notice lag.
