Where to Find	In the Overworld in light levels of 7 or less
Weapon	TNT
Attack Method	Moves toward you, ignites its TNT and explodes
Drops	0-2 Gunpowder Music Disc (if killed by skeleton)
Experience Points	5 experience points

Hostility Level (Hostile)

A creeper is a hostile mob. The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, endermen, and creepers. Because a creeper is a hostile mob, it will attack you in Survival mode but not Creative mode.

Health Points

In Minecraft, a creeper has 10 hearts for health. This gives a creeper 20 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill a creeper, you need to inflict 20 points of damage to the creeper.

Weapon

A creeper uses TNT as a weapon.

Attack Method

When a creeper attacks, it will ignite its TNT fuse, move towards you and then explode. The explosion will destroy nearby blocks. If you are close to the explosion, you will take damage too or even die.

Where to Find Creepers

In Minecraft, you can find creepers in most Overworld biomes in light levels of 7 or less. Creepers will spawn in the dark, usually at night. Once a creeper has spawned in the dark, it can survive in the daylight.

If you do not light your house, a creeper can spawn inside your house. So it is a good idea, to place torches inside your house so that creepers do not spawn there.

If you are having trouble finding a creeper, you can summon a creeper using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.

Drops

When you kill a creeper in Minecraft, it will drop gunpowder.

Make sure you pick up any dropped items before they disappear. They are useful and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.

TIP: If a skeleton kills a creeper, the creeper will drop a music disc.

Experience Points

As you play the game, you will gain experience. The most common way to gain experience is by killing mobs. When a mob is killed you will see tiny green and yellow balls appear and move towards you.

These orbs represent experience points. When you kill a creeper, you will gain 5 experience points.

Charged Creeper

When a creeper is struck by lightning in Minecraft, the creeper is transformed into a charged creeper.
