The nature of creepers is a topic that's been discussed for years. Why do they explode? What is their endless fascination with our houses? While many theories have been put forward, the Game Theorists have come up with a surprisingly sensible theory about the inner workings of everyone's favorite green monster. Enjoy!
"everyone's favorite green monster"? Who is this "everyone"? Frankly, I wish they either remove them from the game entirely or give us the option to disable them. I could happily play Minecraft for many more years without ever seeing another creeper again.

If you're willing to cheat a little, you could turn off mob griefing with the /gamerule command to stop them from blowing up blocks.
Also, this is just my opinion, but I actually do like creepers a lot. Minecraft would be way too easy without them.
Big fan of MatPat and Game Theory in general, so I was delighted to see this on the front page today. The theories he presented all seem to fit together perfectly, almost as if Notch himself had the plant in the back of his head when creating the Creeper from the accidental pig model.
I love Game Theory! So I was extremely excited when I saw this had made it on to the forums! I think it would be cool to see MattPat figure out how strong Steve actually is.Or maybe how ghasts fly?
Whoa. This makes sense. I was surprised to see a game theory video on the front page, but this theory sounds like it could be plausible, I mean, like, imagine, you're just walking around your world, and you see a creeper for the first time, and then it explodes. You would wonder why it exploded and killed itself. Then, you see this video, everything snaps into place, and you just piece together it as you watch the video, questioning everything MatPat says and then just continue watching, then you find out, that creepers could be a type of peat. That would be really cool if it was the case.
Now I feel better knowing that creepers are just some kind of plant
They are mobile exploding... pieces of moss? Seems legit.

The universe, it loves you.
You have played the game well.
Everything you need is in you.
You are stronger then you know.
You are the daylight, and you are the night.
The darkness you fight is deep within you. But so is the light to purge it.
You are not alone, and you are not separate from every other thing.
You are the universe, experiencing itself, tasting itself, reading itself, understanding itself.

Well kids, now we just need to keep all creepers from exploding on us. According to this video, when they explode, they release their spores, causing them to reproduce. Therefore, if we were to keep creepers from exploding at all, then they would soon become extinct. Interesting, huh?

Fact: Using flint and steel on a creeper causes them to stop in place and blow up.
