For each loaded chunk, every tick there is a 1⁄100,000 chance of an attempted lightning strike while it is thunderstorming.
So then I ask you mathematicians what then are the chances of me getting a thunderstorm and also getting lightning to strike right where I want it hitting a creeper making it a charged creeper on my creeper farm. That's got to be lottery winning odds, also it was done in survival 100% legit.
You don't have to watch this its just for a reference showing proof of what I am stating here.
First off has anyone else ever got this to happen, not by accident but by actually trying like i did?
Second I really want to know the odds of what I just accomplished.
Third off charged creepers don't have the heads like on PC and I am wondering why not?
Anyways please discuss away, I know thunderstorms and lightning strikes are pretty rare so hope you find this thread interesting.
Good thread! Dunno what the odds are but they'd have to be massive. I've been playing for AGES.....and not once seen a charged creeper. All the videos I've seen on charged creepers tend to be manufactured for the sake of creating the clip. Dunno about you but getting a creeper head is about the only thing I've not done in minecraft.

Great job. I've been wanting to make one of those for awhile now. For the heads, you don't get one with just the charged creeper itself. You need to add another mobb to get there head. So to get a creeper head, you need a charged creeper and a normal one. Did you try that?
For whatever mob's head you wish to obtain, that mob must be killed by a charged creeper's explosion. So as Drivethru said you need a charged creeper to explode and land the killing blow on a normal creeper for it to drop. Also, a charged creeper doesn't have to be hit by the lightning directly to be charged, but within 3-4 blocks of the creeper. Still "lottery" odds tho I would guess-timate

Just wondering.......has any player been struck by lightning? I've not....but if creepers can be hit I'm assuming players can too. Wonder what damage it does too.

First and Foremost, it is wonderful to see another HEAD playing minecraft Terrapin now and forever!
Now, back to the thread:
Here is a tutorial on a charged creeper farm with a how to get the mob head from the charged creeper afterwards
Obtaining mob heads from charged creepers has not yet been added to the console edition. Wither skulls can be obtained from killing wither skeletons (rare drop). Creative mode does have mob heads.

Good vid, just a quick questions was that the ps4 edition, and also were you in creative mode just to show how to get the skull. Cause i tried and I dont think the skulls are in ps4 yet or they are not in ps4 survival mode at least.
You have a charged creeper in the PS4 edition? I didn't even realize that they were on the PS4. I've never seen one.

Sorry I play both PC and Console editions, and you are correct this is a PC edition farm, the console edition Charged Creeper Farms aren't available yet, hoping they come in the next update when blowing up a mob with a charged creeper yields their head
You have a charged creeper in the PS4 edition? I didn't even realize that they were on the PS4. I've never seen one.
Yes if you watch the video in the start you will see the minecraft screen showing the PS4 edition,
Just to clarify this was captured on the ps4 edition, I have a creeper farm in the ps4 version and now a charged creeper in that creeper farm held captive and saved. All by the way in survival mode to make it all even harder.
So if map sharing ever becomes possible on the PS4 I will make it downloadable for you all, basically giving you my charged creeper and creeper farm.
Ahh! Well that's awesome.. now I know to look out for them
I usually sleep through stormy days, it's the only time you can sleep during the day.. but now that I know this. I'm probably going to see if I can't find one myself! Let the highly dangerous adventure begin!

I found a random supercharged creeper while fighting the Wither on PS4. Unfortunately, the wither killed it, but not before i got a couple of screenshots 😁

How did you get a charged creeper in captivity?

I might have tried that, it was a creeper farm with over 50 creepers there with the charged creeper.
Please explain how i use the two together for the skull I would love to try. ty.
I was just amazed that the lighting hit a creeper was soo cool cause I actually saw the lightning bolt and everything

Sweet thanks for the explanation since i have a charged creeper saved I will try n make the skull by exploding it on a regular creeper
@Thr33_Nin3s Yes it is possible, but it has not happened to me yet lol.
