A more modern take on Creeper Confetti and Creeper Firework using gamerules and adding more
configurable behavior. Additionally it works completely server-side and does not require
clientside installation like Creeper Firework, it also is more performant and configurable
than the vanilla tweaks datapack and still allows for things like charged creepers dropping
mob heads.
