In order for a creeper to become charged, lightning must strike within a 4x4 area of it. However, they may still be useful in some editions. Since the introduction of Channeling tridents, these methods have mostly become obsolete. Charged creeper farming is one way to create charged creepers. The mob filter however may be interesting for platforms which do not have reliable creeper only farms.Ĭharged creepers are necessary to obtain mob heads (except for wither skeletons'). It is probably better to create a creeper only farm and use a channeling trident to charge the creepers. This type of farm is very expensive to build and is not recommended unless you have a lot of time and resources. It then gives each creeper its own 'cell.' The system detects when lightning strikes a cell and then moves the charged creeper into a separate area. This farm works with a general mob farm attached to a filter to obtain only the creepers. Snow golems are the only creature that players can create that naturally attack creepers. These snow golems must be at least 3 blocks away from all creepers otherwise the creepers explode, killing the golems. Place cats in boats in the end of the farm to scare the creepers away and it will direct the creepers to the other end in which you will have a water stream guiding the creepers to a kill mechanism which can be manual, with campfires, magma blocks.Īnother way to get the creepers to move into a killing zone it to place a snow golem at one end. Make a 2 block wall and the roof has to be trapdoors. You can make a creeper farm by placing a spawning platform in an ocean to maximize spawning rates. This is easily avoided by removing 3*3 areas in the farm.

Be aware some Creeper farms can also spawn Spiders. In Bedrock Edition, this mechanic may not work. This is tall enough to allow creepers to spawn, but short enough to prevent other mobs such as zombies and skeletons. When trapdoors are placed on a 2 block high ceiling, it lowers the height to 1 13⁄ 16 blocks high.
