How to safely defeat?
Does anyone know how to defeat a creeper without dying? --194.53.184.10 05:42, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The best way is to use a ranged weapon like a bow or crossbow, in my opinion. 4 full-charged shots will kill it. A bow with Power IV can kill a creeper in one shot.
 * If you have only a melee weapon, you can charge through it and whack it once on the way past, and keep running far enough to deactivate the creeper's countdown. Do this 4 or 5 times until the creeper dies. If the creeper explodes while you're running away, you'll likely be far enough to avoid dying but you may still take damage. Eat some food to heal up if your food bar isn't full. ~ Amatulic (talk) 16:53, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Notable?
''Appearance > YouTube content YouTube hosts many videos that feature creepers, including review videos, "Let's Play"'s, cartoons, and cameos in many other videos. When searching for the query "Minecraft Creeper", YouTube returns a lot of videos.''

Is this even notable? Couldn't you say this about literally any page on this wiki? -- DigiDuncan! (talk) 21:05, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I've removed that part.  Nixinova  T  C  01:20, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Spawning section needs expansion
Currently the Spawning section consists of one line: "Creepers naturally spawn in the Overworld on solid blocks with a light level of 7 or less."

There must be more to it than that! What other conditions make it more favorable for a creeper to spawn? How does a creeper's chance of spawning compare with other mobs? I see creepers more frequently in flat biomes than mountainous biomes, for example.

One survival game I played spawned me in a valley of flowers and creepers were the most common mob encountered; you could hardly turn around without seeing another one. Most of my time was spent killing them and repairing the damage they left. This made me suspect that something about that region caused creepers to spawn more frequently than other mobs. ~ Amatulic (talk) 00:39, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
