Notch woud never get rid of creepers! Maybe they do anger me when they blow up my house or scare me half to death like that time when I dug straight down and died! Creepers make the game challenging.
Do you remember that scene near the end of galaxy quest where they pilot flies close to the magnetic space mines so they have a whole cluster of the mines getting dragged along behind them? It's kinda like that.
I don't think we should do away with the creeper entirely, just crank down how much he spawns... One alone has the power to take you down in one hit, when your just starting out. But dealing with three or four can easily become over kill.
Nah,The creeper is a good member of the enemy mob family.Its unnatural to take away that cute little guy that explodes creating a crater that you can start mining in.

I liked that movie. and I figured that was how it would be done. It would be luring though, not herding.
The creeper is the most infuencial part of minecraft, both in, and outside of the community of minecraft players.
It has even made it into the internet meme database.

I have an argument, and do reply if you think it has flaws:
(This is not my actual opinion, BTW.)
The goombas need to be taken out. Their design, compared to the other enemies in the game, is flawed. It has no real interesting features, just two feet and a dome. Compared to a Shy Guy, with its mask, or a Koopa, with its tall figure, it's just boring. They're also irritating and are mundane to kill. They are usually in your way or in a hard spot to reach; and there's tons! One or two once in a while would be OK, but when there's hundreds it gets really mundane and boring.
This makes logical sense; the example is posing an understandable argument. The only problem: WHAT THE **** WOULD MARIO BE WITHOUT ANY GOOMBAS?! SINCE THE FIRST GAME, GOOMBAS HAVE BEEN HERE! SINCE ENEMIES WERE FIRST BEING CREATED, THE CREEPER WAS THERE, NOT COUNTING THE VERY EARLY ENEMIES LIKE RANA! WITHOUT IT, MINECRAFT WOULD HAVE LOST ITS MAIN ICON! Remember Bioshock? Remember the front cover? It didn't show the main character, it showed the BIG DADDY! TRY PLAYING BIOSHOCK WITHOUT ANY BIG DADDIES! THE GAME STILL WORKS, BUT YOU LOST TONS OF FEEL!
Overall, I can understand your argument but the Creeper is perfect because although it is simple, slightly illogical, and annoying, WHAT WOULD MINECRAFT BE WITHOUT IT?! WHAT WOULD MINECRAFT PICTURES SHOW TO REALLY SHOW IT OFF?! GHASTS? GHASTS ARE FOUND VERY LATE IN THE GAME AND ARE RARELY IMPORTANT! Also, BLOCKS ARE SIMPLE. GHASTS ARE ILLOGICAL. DAMAGE IS ANNOYING. NOW TRY PLAYING WITHOUT BLOCKS, DAMAGE, OR GHASTS.
Have to agree with the creeper defenders on this one. I do hate being blown to bits by them but, they add the element of surprise to the game that I can't imagine any other enemy could do so perfectly as the creeper.
You know, creepers are pretty dull, and I do agree that they're useless too. I think they should be taken out, unless you give them those shades. Then they'd be worth my time.
That said it bothers me sometimes when I'm building outside my house. There's a spawn that seems to get past all of my walls that I've put up 3 to 4 blocks high; cleared most the land too and he still spawns right on top of me. Daylight and night with tons of torches.
That to me needs to be changed unless I'm doing something totally wrong as far as preventing him.
Let me preface this by saying: I love the creeper!
now, once a spider spawned on in my house (still trying to figure out how he did it) and went to kill me, I barely escaped outside (in broad daylight, mind you) only to get blown up by a creeper. The walk from my spawn to my base is about 20 blocks. I got blown up no less than 5 times trying to get back to my base, and I never did get to that spider. There was literally so many creepers about that the ground was covered in gunpowder because there were so many that they were blowing EACH OTHER up! make creepers go away during the daytime, that is all I want.
The Creeper = here to stay.
I like the Creeper, I'd keep one as a pet...if I didn't keep forgetting to make a cage.
The Creeper isn't going anywhere, regardless of how dumb you think it is. Actually, I found a thread to add biome specific Creepers to Minecraft. I think I'll go support it now.

Creeping at Night.
Ready to kill.
Explodes without warning.
Eek! A SsSsSs sound!
Paranoia is felt.
Expect certain doom.
Right behind you...
Without it I wouldn't need obsidian walls or iron doors, and I wouldn't have to check my back while walking cause I can hear nearly everything else.
Also, they make some big ass holes in the terrain, I found three dungeons with the assistance of the fellow creeper.
And come on, their face is legendary among our forum community, whats not to love about that upside down smile.
Alright that was pretty hillarous even though i got annoyed a bit
Just going to but in here,It's only griefing if pvp is off,Otherwise,It's being a criminal,vandal,And arsonist.
Otherwise,Keep the creeper~!
