This guide will provide you with 15 things you didn’t know about Creepers in Minecraft.
#1
As a spectator, you can enter the head of a creeper; the world will become green and slightly more pixelated. That’s how creepers see the world around them.
#2
Developers created the creeper model accidentally. Notch was trying to create the pig; he accidentally rotated the body the way the creeper model was born.
#3
You can force a creeper to go off using flint and steel, which is similar to setting off TNT.
#4
If a creeper gets struck by lightning, it becomes charged, and it gets an excellent electric effect, as you can see.
#5
The explosion from a charged creeper is much stronger; it deals more damage and has a larger radius.
#6
If you try to make a charged creeper invisible, the electric effect will remain. You can use it to create some ghost-like mobs.
#7
Creepers have a weakness; they’re scared of cats, so they avoid cats at all costs. Overriding their hostile behavior makes cats useful. Placing cats around your base will keep the creepers away.
#8
The creeper has become the most recognized Minecraft icon. Creeper faces are on most Minecraft-related items, especially merchandise, now a million-dollar business.
#9
In update 1.4, creeper makes it into the logo, and its face is a part of the ‘A’.
#10
If a skeleton shoots a creeper, it will drop a unique item. It’s a random music disc; this also works with strays.
#11
The creeper can drop an even rarer item through the Creeper head. You must kill it by a charged creeper to get it.
#12
If a creeper explodes on a slab, it will destroy nothing but the slab.
#13
The creeper originally had a much darker texture. In 2009, it gets changed to the one you know and love, and the texture hasn’t changed since.
#14
Creepers used to drop sulfur upon death; this isn’t as interesting as it sounds. That was just the name of gunpowder at the time.
#15
Notch is the original creator of Minecraft. According to a notch, creepers are made of leaves. Notch meant to camouflage the creeper with its texture, and they used to match grass with a similar bright texture better. Notch isn’t quite sure why they explode, though.
