Many players refer to charged Creepers as "Electric" or "Lightning" Creepers. Charged Creepers are distinguished from normal Creepers by the blue aura surrounding them. If a creeper detonates in water, it does no damage to the environment.Ī charged Creeper is created when lightning strikes within 3 - 4 blocks of a normal Creeper, which significantly increases its explosive power. Harder blocks caught in an explosion will shield blocks behind them to some degree. A certain percentage of blocks destroyed by the Creeper will survive the blast and can be picked up. Charged Creeper explosions are twice that of a normal Creeper.Īll dropped items in the explosion radius will be destroyed. A Creeper's detonation can be halted if the player moves out of the blast radius, or knocks the Creeper back sufficiently to do the same via an attack (about 3 - 5 blocks, depending on the difficulty setting).Ī Creeper's explosion is dependent on the difficulty level.

Killing a Creeper before the countdown finishes will prevent it from detonating. When within one block of a player, a Creeper will hiss loudly, start flashing and inflating, and violently explode after 1.5 seconds. Their explosion is devastating at short range, to both entities and structures. A Creeper will warn the player moments before it explodes with an infamous burning fuse noise. However, unlike Zombies and Skeletons, Creepers will not catch fire in direct sunlight, and those spawned in darkness will continue wandering and attacking throughout the day regardless of light level until they are killed or despawn.Ĭreepers are especially dangerous mobs due to their almost completely silent approach, save for light footsteps and an occasional rustling noise that is compared to the player walking on leaves. Creepers spawn at night, and in locations with a light level of 7 or less, just like most other hostile mobs. It has large, empty eye sockets, a mouth twisted into a signature sad expression, and a greenish, grass-like camouflage skin.Ĭreepers represent the most readily available source of gunpowder, and are therefore critical to the production of Powder Kegs, Firework Stars and Firework Rockets.Ĭreepers are hostile mobs that make use of a suicide-style attack: It approaches any players within a 16 block range and then explodes, causing damage to players as well as surrounding blocks and entities.
