Rocket Creeper

The Rocket Creeper is a hostile monster added by Primitive Mobs. It spawns in dark areas exposed to the sky in the Overworld.

Similarly to Creepers, it will chase nearby players until it gets within range to one. Upon reaching its target, it will leap in the air before crashing down head first in the ground, exploding with the same force as a normal Creeper. Just like a Creeper, it can also get charged by getting struck by lightning, doubling the strength of its explosion.

When killed, it drops 1-2 Gunpowder and has a chance of dropping 1 Firework Star.

Trivia

 * The Rocket Creeper and the Festive Creeper both originally come from the beta 1.1 mod Koda's Custom Creepers.
