If you don't back up far enough fast enough, it will explode. If you back away far enough fast enough, it will not explode and will head towards you again giving you another opportunity to hit and kill it. A safer way of engaging a Creeper is with a Bow and Arrow. Since you can only trigger a Creeper by being close to it, it won't blow up when shot with an arrow. If a Creeper is in an area you do not want it to blow up in, lead it away specifically to water as possible as it won't cause damage in open water.

The best way to attack a creeper is by using a bow and arrow. Melee attacks can be used on swimming or wading creepers or a sword enchanted with knockback. Ghast: Ghasts are squid-like ghosts that float and shoot fireballs. Ghasts have a large attack range. Ghasts do not pursue the player, but will fire at the player within 16 blocks. A fishing rod can reel in the ghast and then the ghast can be attacked with melee weapons or swords. Magma Cube: Magma cubes are found in The Nether.
They jump, cannot burn, and are unaffected by lava. Magma cubes provide a great deal of experience and can drop magma cream to make potions of fire resistance. Large magma cubes split into small cubes, which split into mini cubes, making the magma cube difficult to fight. Bows are best for the large magma cubes, while swords can be used to defeat the small and mini magma cubes. Silverfish: Silverfish are bug-like mobs found in monster eggs.
There are stone, cobblestone, and stone brick monster eggs and once these are mined, the silverfish pop up and attack. Confined spaces with a silverfish can cause considerable damage as the player makes a little hop when damaged, thus hopping into the silverfish and causing more damage. Silverfish that have been attacked can summon other silverfish, creating a large swarm.
To attack the silverfish, stand on top of a 2-block pillar and pour a bucket of lava or gravel on them. Skeleton: Skeletons are armed with bows and arrows and will shoot at the player and mobs that attack it. Skeletons spawn in dark places and burn in daylight. Skeletons drop arrows or bones, which can be used to create bone meal.
If killed by the player, the skeleton may drop a bow, although this occurs rarely. When a skeleton kills a creeper with an arrow, the creeper will drop a music disc. Skeletons will pursue the player through mazes, stairs, and other obstacles unless the player is outside of a block radius. The skeleton will begin shooting with its bow and arrow when the player is within a block radius. Bow and arrows are the best weapon to use against skeletons. Melee weapons can be used.
Skeletons shoot arrows faster the closer the player is to it. Skeletons are susceptible to daylight, lava, fire, and cacti. Skeletons can be avoided by sleeping at night since they only spawn when the player is awake at night. Slime: Slimes spawn deep underground or in swamp biomes at night.
Slimes can see the player through solid blocks and will give chase by hopping. Slimes that are bigger than 1 block, once it is killed it will spawn new slimes. Slimes that are 1 block, it will drop slimes. Slimes are susceptible to burning, falling, suffocating, drowning, attacks, and other ways. Small slimes drop slimeballs, which are used as an ingredient to create sticky pistons.
Slimeballs can be used with blaze powder to make magma cream to create fire resistance potions. Slimeballs can also be used to create a lead. Slimes are good for gathering experience. Spider: Spiders spawn in light levels of 7 or less. They attack the player in the dark and are neutral in lighted areas. They can jump, climb walls, and enter spaces at least 2 blocks tall. When killed, spiders drop string, which can be used to create fishing rods, bows, or white wool.
When the spider is killed by the player, it will drop spider eyes. A spider that spawns with a skeleton riding its back is called the spider jockey.
This is an extremely dangerous mob as the spider is fast and can crawl up walls while the skeleton shoots arrows.
Spiders are not poisonous and are not affected by splash potions of poison. Wearing armor is recommended while fighting spiders. The bow and arrow is the best bet.
Shoot at the spiders farthest from you to avoid a pack of spiders attacking you all at once. When fighting a spider with a sword, wait for it to pounce and then attack with your sword. Spiders are susceptible to fire, falling, lava, and cacti. It is advised to sleep at night to reduce spiders from spawning.
Spider Jockey: Spider jockeys are spiders ridden by skeletons. Spider jockeys are extremely dangerous in that the skeleton will fire arrows at the player with the speed and wall-climbing ability of the spider. The player must kills both creatures as they take damage separately from one another.
If one is killed, the other will continue to attack. When killed the spider jockey will drop either spider eyes, string, bones, arrows, bows, enchanted bows, or possibly armor worn by the skeleton. The player will need armor and fighting with a bow and arrow is the best method. Killing the skeleton first is the best tactic and then finishing off the spider.
Witch: Witches spawn in witch huts. Witches use several splash potions of poison, weakness, harming, and slowness. They are mostly impervious to splash potions of poison and instant damage. Bow and arrows are the best method to dispatch witches. Once killed, witches can drop a variety of items, such as glass bottles, glowstone dust, gunpowder, redstone, spider eyes, sticks, and sugar.
Wither Skeleton: Wither skeletons spawn in the nether fortresses. Wither skeletons use stone swords. When the player is attacked, the wither skeleton produces a wither effect on the player that darkens the health bar and causes further damage. Iron golums are useful against several wither skeletons. To attack, move backwards while attacking to avoid taking damage.
Once killed, wither skeletons may drop coal, bones, their skull, or their sword. Zombie: Zombies spawn in the dark or dimly lit areas. Zombies move slowly and catch fire in the daylight. Zombies spawn other zombies, thus multiplying into large groups rapidly. Using iron or diamond swords to kill the zombie quickly is advised. Penning up zombies in order to farm them for items and experience is another option. Zombies can drop rotten flesh, iron ingots, carrot, potatoes, swords, shovels, or armor.
Zombie Villager: Zombie villagers may spawn or they may be created when zombies attack villagers. Zombie villagers should be attacked as you would other zombies. They can be cured with splash potion of Weakness, then feeding the zombie a golden apple, and waiting for the cure to take effect.
