Damage
Creepers have 10 hearts. Iron swords do 3 hearts damage, so you will need to hit it 4 times. Diamond swords do 3.5 hearts damage, so you will need to hit it 3 times. Bows do 4.5 hearts damage, so you will need to shoot it 3 times.

Exploding
If there is 1 block or less between you and the creeper and he knows you're there, he will start his 1.5 second countdown before he explodes. Hitting him and moving back or sprint-hitting him will move him far enough away that he stops his countdown. If there are 2 blocks between you and the creeper, you're safe unless he has already started his countdown.

Save sword fight
See a creeper near your home, but have nothing other than wooden sword and some blocks ? You can kill him without worrying about exploding, just follow these steps :


 * Make sure you have at least 3 or 4 dirt/sand in your equipment
 * Check if there is no skeletons or spiders (if yes, kill them first)
 * Walk slowly to creeper, and when he will start walk in your direction
 * Make a 3-4 block pillar of dirt/sand by click-jumping
 * Wait until a creeper will come under your pillar
 * Now you can kill him, and he will not explode !
