Top 5 enchantments for beating the Minecraft Creeper

Creepers are a very annoying mob in Minecraft that players can't get away from. These little green figures creep around the map waiting to explode a player.

These mobs will explode the player and anything around them in their way. Creepers will even destroy player built structures, so make sure to keep them away from valuable items.

This mob is very common in the Minecraft world, and appears when the game difficulty is easy and above. They earned their name because of how they silently creep up on players.

When Creepers are killed, they drop gunpowder to create TNT, firework stars, firework rockets, etc. Fun fact: Creepers are afraid of cats in Minecraft! Have a cat near you and the creeper will go the other way.

In this article, players will learn the 5 best enchantments to have when defeating a creeper, and what they each do.
