Behavior

The Creepers will try to follow the Player_head player to kill him with their explosion, the damage it will do to the player depends on the distance between the player and the creeper.

When on the same block as the player it does 12 (♥ × 6) without armor, on top of that they can jump two blocks high.

If a creeper approaches a player, he hisses from a lit fuse. If the player doesn't back up far enough (or kill them first), it explodes destroying some blocks in its environment and drops some blocks as items.

If a creeper is set on fire with flint and steel flint and steel, it will explode even if the player hasn't hit it or if its head is underwater, it won't explode.

An effective method of killing a creeper that is spotted ahead of time is to create a wall that is at least three blocks high and a one block overhang on the creeper's side.
