Spawn[]
Smiling creepers spawn under normal creeper spawning conditions.[verify]

A smiling creeper exploding.
A smiling creeper behaved like a normal creeper, except that the explosion of a smiling creeper did not break blocks or cause damage. Instead, the smiling creeper dropped poppies that the player could not pick up.
