The world of Minecraft is filled with a wide variety of monsters. Out of all hostile mobs, creeper is arguably the most infamous among Minecrafters. Creeper was added to the game by mistake but quickly became an iconic mob.

Creepers have been in Minecraft for over a decade. In this long time, creepers have received many changes and features, as well as a new variation called charged creeper. Charged creepers are much more powerful and dangerous than regular creepers.

Charged creepers rarely spawn naturally. Players can themselves turn normal creepers into charged creepers, and this guide will tell you how.

After one tick, the chances of finding a charged Creeper is 1:485. After 3,600 ticks, there’s a ~99.93% chance of encountering a charged Creeper. After 15,600 ticks, the probability is effectively 100%.

NEW & EASY Way to Create Charged Creepers in Minecraft 1.13 (Update Aquatic)

Charged Creepers behave very similarly to regular creepers except for the fact that they have massively increased explosion damage.

Charged Creepers can be manually spawned in a lightning storm by using a Trident with the Channeling enchantment near a Creeper. However, players must play it safe to accomplish this without being blown up!

Due to the rarity of lightning and the low chances of it striking within four blocks of a creeper, Charged Creepers are one of the rarest mobs in all of Minecraft. They are also one of the few mobs that cannot be spawned with a Spawn Egg in Creative mode.

While Charged Creepers dont necessarily spawn, they are created when lightning strikes within ten blocks of a regular creeper!

In Java Edition, Charged Creepers will cause certain mobs, such as Zombies, Skeletons, Wither Skeletons or Creepers, to drop their heads upon death.

Turning a Creeper into Charged Creeper in Minecraft Bedrock

Any creeper can be turned into a charged creeper in Minecraft. To make a charged creeper, all you need is a thunderstorm and a trident enchanted with Channeling. When a creeper is struck by lightning, it becomes a charged creeper.

Minecraft players can throw a Channeling-enchanted trident at a creeper during thunderstorms to turn it into a charged creeper. Finding a natural spawned charged creeper is rare as it requires a lightning bolt to hit a creeper.

They do the same as creepers do. They can also spot the player from 16 blocks away and will explode at the player. They will make a hissing sound before exploding. A charged creepers explosion can destroy many more blocks than a creepers and may kill the player if they dont wear armor.
