I like the complexity of having to find three diff materials. however, this one should also take into consideration those who play on peaceful. I saw that you had the Nitre ore form up there, but as rare. I would say that it shouldn't really be "rare". maybe about the same rarity of Lapis, and drop the same way. Thats my suggestion anyway. As for adding creeper dens... I like the idea of it just for hunting's sake, but if you are going into a creeper den, why not kill the creepers and take the Gunpowder? Though if you are adding this in for those who play on peaceful, I would suggest another block. Spawns only around lava and is also the rarity of lapis and breaks like lapis.
So you could say that Nitre + Sulphur = Lapis rarity. And both spawn together, but at half the rarity? Maybe I am getting a bit complex with this, but hear me out:
When one block spawns for either Nitre or Sulphur, it has a 50% chance to be one or the other. As for the spawn rate of those two compared to the others, I have no clue. But I think this would be really cool to see in the future.
Honestly this is the only one that sounds good at all. Gunpowder isn't that hard to get, and what would be the point of all of that hard work in a creeper farm?
I think that gunpowder should be harder to obtain. I have long thought that creepers should only drop a part of the finished product and you had to look elsewhere for the rest.
However, what about those who play on peaceful? TNT is used in mining, so it has a practical reason for being allowed in peaceful.
Yellow looking ore = sulfur (spawns near lava, creeper dens (creeper den would have to exist too))
-plus-
Coal
-plus-
White looking powder = grave dirt = aka Nitre (obtainable from skele's, dungeons, or...more rarely, in ore form (white))
Nitre + sulfur + coal = gunpowder
comments?
could lead to more tnt use.

+1 and a head for you.

Also, that's overpowered.
