If you browse YouTube, even without searching for Minecraft at all, you've probably come across some kind of Minecraft animation where someone's house gets filled with creepers, and the whole thing explodes.
This isn't what happens. One creeper explodes, and it kills the ones around it.
I think it would be more exciting and make more sense for the creepers to explode if they die from any kind of explosion (other creepers, TNT, etc). Currently, it's like they're filled with C4 rather than gunpowder since they only explode when they want to. It would raise the stakes more of getting attacked by multiple creepers instead of the worst case being just one creeper blowing up inside your house, and who hasn't tried filling a house with creepers in creative mode or something and blowing it up?
This would also remove the cheap way of killing a creeper for loot, making another creeper blow it up.
Also, it wouldn't make the game too hard. Lighting is cheap, and it's easy to make sure creepers don't get into your house or your area. I only play on hard mode, and the only time a creeper ever explodes on me is when I'm chopping a tree and not paying attention much since I'm in some wild area I don't care about. The chances of two or more creepers chasing you are also pretty small.
I think the idea is well thought out and makes a lot of sense. I see one issue with it though. There might come a time where a creeper manages to explode while you're near a place where you don't want damage, and the first creeper explosion causes a few extra ones to explode as well, and add even more to the damage you don't want.

In short, you might get a nasty chain reaction.
