Anti Creeper

Quickstart

1. Craft an Anti Creeper block using the recipe below.
2. Place it on the ground anywhere you want protection from creepers.
3. Stand back and watch — any creeper that wanders within range gets launched 60 blocks into the sky.
4. Mine the block with any tool if you want to pick it up and move it elsewhere; it drops itself when broken.

Overview

Anti Creeper adds a single defensive block that keeps creepers away from your base. Once placed, it constantly scans the surrounding area and rockets any creeper it detects straight up into the air, removing the threat of a surprise explosion near your builds.

What It Adds

• Anti Creeper Block — a sturdy, iron-and-gunpowder block that automatically launches nearby creepers skyward.

How To Use

Place the Anti Creeper block like any normal block — it just needs a spot on the ground within your base or perimeter. Once placed, it works passively with no interaction required:

• It continuously watches a wide area around itself for creepers.
• Any creeper that comes within range is teleported 60 blocks straight up into the air.
• Each individual creeper is only launched once — if the same creeper somehow lands back nearby, the block will leave it alone afterward, so it won't be juggled repeatedly.
• The block has solid collision, can be walked and placed on top of, and is reasonably tough (it takes a couple of seconds to mine and resists explosions better than most blocks).
• Breaking the block with any tool drops the Anti Creeper block itself, so you can relocate it.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Anti Creeper block at a crafting table using gunpowder and an iron block:

Abilities And Mechanics

• Detection radius: The block scans a large area around itself on a regular tick, so creepers can't sneak in unnoticed.
• Launch height: Detected creepers are teleported 60 blocks above their current position, sending them harmlessly into the air.
• One-time launch: Each creeper is only ever launched once per life — this prevents a creeper from bouncing endlessly between multiple Anti Creeper blocks or being repeatedly re-launched if it survives the fall.
• Passive operation: No fuel, power, or activation is needed. Simply placing the block is enough to start protecting the area.

Progression And Strategy

Place Anti Creeper blocks around your base perimeter, farms, or any area where you want to prevent creeper explosions. Since the effect covers a wide radius, a small number of blocks can cover a large base. Because each creeper is only launched once, don't rely on a single block to repeatedly clear the same creeper — spread blocks out or combine with other defenses if you're in a heavily creeper-infested area.
