The nerd creeper was a hostile creeper-based mob present in the April Fool's Java Edition 3D Shareware v1.34 update.
Spawning[]
Nerd creepers spawn when the player uses the cheat code "NEEEERD".
Creepers in this version have an NBT tag called d20 (1 = true/0 = false) that determines whether the creeper is a nerd.
A nerd creeper can be summoned with the following command: /summon creeper ~ ~ ~ {d20:1}
Drops[]
When killed, nerd creepers drop:
- 5 experience points, if killed by the player or a tamed wolf.
- 1 3D item.
- 1 music disc at random, if killed by a skeleton or stray.
- 1 creeper head, if killed by a charged creeper.
Behavior[]
Nerd creepers, effectively being a reskinned creeper, shared almost all of their behavior, except when killed, they dropped the 3D item instead of gunpowder.
