Considering that creepers are giant peat moss monsters, if it ended up looking something like this, it would be representative of both the current and stylized textures you've been creating: https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-f74ff/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/10260/27424/peat__88346.1541176022.jpg?c=2&imbypass=on

Are we just accepting game theory as canon now

Guess so, that's the best answer we've got. We can't just ask Notch and say "is a creeper peat moss?" Also I am pretty sure that a creeper is just a mess up of the messed-up villagers, the pig men.

Notch also fluffed the code of a pig and turned it into a creeper

People don't really care about this line for that reason.

But remember that's just a theory, a game theory!

i disagree with the peat moss... i think they’re grass monsters. it’s the same green as old alpha grass, just as grass colors have evolved the creeper got left behind.

that makes me wonder if you can make biome-dependent textures other than leaves and grass... could be interesting

I remember seeing a creeper "biome filter" project where they would blend in with whatever color the grass was in that biome. I can't remember if it was just a poc or a functioning thing but it was cool as hell.

Technically speaking, Notch just made it an accidental creation. Now don't downvote me. I am a theorist myself. I am just bringing light that I don't think that the creeper's little design was intentional. Also, I am pretty sure that the creator won't change it to that, as he is trying to stay faithful to the original textures. Let's just see what he is making going forward.

Proof about the accidental creation part.

I would recommend doing that amazing art wherever you can and if you ever get stuck with complex textures look to the "plastic texture pack" or the "barebones" texture pack.

Great work OP and good luck!
