Minecraft news » Weekly Community Roundtable: Creepers IRL

Two things have always made Minecraft the juggernaut it is today: the staggering amount of content created by the community, and the community itself. We often delve into the former, but today will be about the latter. Every week, there will be a "round table"-style article where we discuss a Minecraft-related topic. It can be serious, silly, theoretical, or anything else! This week, it's about creepers in real life.

Creepers: they are green, explosive, sneaky, and irritating. We all know what they do to things we build, but how would a creeper act in real life? Do they eat? Sleep? What possible reason could make a creature develop the ability to explode and disappear forever? For that matter, what would you do if you walked into your kitchen right now, and saw one?

I can only imagine the sorts of traps people would put in their houses to catch one. Nets, peanut butter, and a speaker playing Steve sounds all seem appropriate somehow...

So, what would you do if you met a creeper in real life?
