The Creeper is a hostile mob that will ambush players and explode, causing damage to the player and the surrounding blocks. Unlike Zombies and Skeletons, Creepers will not catch fire in direct sunlight, meaning they can wander around unharmed any time of the day until it is killed. The creeper will still be agressive at day. Underground or on the surface, creepers will spawn at night and in dimly lit locations with a light level of 7 or less. They are especially dangerous as they are almost completely silent (except for footsteps and their hissing noises when ready to explode), and their explosion is devastating at short range. Creepers run from Cats and Ocelots[1] and will even ignore the player to run away when a feline is too close. The mob has gained notoriety.
