The creeper is a quiet mob-kamikaze. If you notice it in time, then it's not very difficult to fight it.

But if it manages to sneak up unnoticed, then it can do more harm than any other mob in the ordinary world in Minecraft. You can find skin of the creeper at https://skins4minecraft.com/.

The creeper doesn’t make sounds when it’s waiting for the player, unlike other enemies. Nevertheless, you can hear the sound of his quiet steps. If you hear someone's footsteps, but if there’s not the sound that is characteristic of other mobs - somewhere near is the creeper.

Its short hiss can be heard when he receives damage, as well as a sound like a coin drop, followed by a lingering hiss when the creeper is ready to explode.

If you hear such a sound, then you need to run away. It is possible that the creeper will calm down or you will reduce the health damage from the explosion.

In addition, its green spotted coloring well disguises it against the background of foliage and grass on the surface.

If you live for a long time in the same area and hunt at night, then gradually the creepers will greatly affect the terrain, as they don’t always have time to cancel the explosion.

Creeper can be killed in close combat, but you should always keep a distance. In the open area, noticing the mob, run up (you should just run), hit and immediately take a few steps back. This will throw away the creeper, which will save the distance, but also damage him. If there was no explosion - you can continue hunting.

If you have an enchanted diamond sword, you can take a chance - running up close and inflict a series of blows while the keeper sizzles. In the fight against the creeper, the sword with incense charms and armor with protection against explosions will help a lot.

It is recommended to have at least the iron armor and a shield, as this tactic is very dangerous. In conditions of caves or hilly terrain, the creeper can be attacked from a sheer ledge 4 blocks high: trying to reach you, the creeper will make jumps that will allow you to hit him.

A group of several creepers can also be killed with a sword - it is better to beat the nearest mob. It is worth remembering that the longer the croaker sizzled - the longer it will calm down and the more distance is needed to calm it down.

Creeper prepares for an explosion in 1.5 seconds, while it hisses, inflates and flashes white. While the creeper is preparing for the explosion, he stands still.

Water significantly reduces the radius and damage of the explosion and completely eliminates the destruction of the terrain. So if there is a reservoir on the battlefield, you can drive the creeper there, because in the water it has less speed, and after the impact, it will fly off. Thus, it can be killed even with bare hands.

It is worth remembering the charged creepers, the damage of which is higher, and the distance of the explosion cancellation is more.

The attack at a distance is the easiest and safest way to kill a creeper. You should only monitor the distance between you and the mob and the surrounding environment (obstacles and other enemies).

You can use a creeper explosion to damage other enemies. You can guess the moment when the creeper will be surrounded by other enemies, provoke him and jump off in time.

You can use the feature of accelerated running - when attacking, the mob's throwback is greater than usual. Thus, you can quickly run up to the creeper and beat him with a sword, and then retreat a short distance and repeat the attack until his death. The blow will throw away the creeper, which won’t allow it to explode. However, follow the terrain behind it - if there is a steep wall, your attack will fail, as the creeper detonates. Therefore, such maneuvers are best carried out on an open level ground.

If you set the creeper on fire, it will start exploding, and you need to run away. In this state the creeper is motionless.

You can lure the creeper into the water and strike from the maximum distance, then the creeper won’t even start to hiss, and if of your inaccuracy or for other reasons he explodes, the water will absorb most of the damage.

Catch the creeper into a trap and make the skeleton kill it to get the plate.
