This is my theory of creepers. Feel free to question any of it. Also ask for an explanation of any part of the creeper nature. This is just the start of it.
Note: My theory could be wrong, and they could just green cold-blooded killers on the inside.
Here we go:
I think that creepers were a kind of green pig, kinda like in Angry Birds. They were somewhat cute, but then something went wrong with some DNA and they started standing, and became less likable. So anyway, with this mutation, the creeper's all were born wanting hugs. Since they didn't have arms anymore, they could only really get hugs from humans. Unfortunately, because they were deformed, humans would run from them.
Over the years, all the creepers mutated a bit more, forming a small bit of a gunpowder like substance because it made them somewhat happy. They also became unable to smile because they were so lonely for so many years, and only ever looked sorrowful.
So, the reason they run towards humans and blow up is because they want hugs, and they're so happy that the powder inside them ignites. You know that warm feeling you get when you're happy? That's what they feel, but they are so happy after so many years of sadness that this effect is multiplied, so much that they explode. Obviously, they start to cool down when you walk or run away, but after becoming close enough to you, they explode.
In the end, I think that Creepers are just lonely green souls, looking for true happiness. I would also like to die so happy that I explode though, wouldn't you?
Anyway, tell me what you think of my theory! I think that it is pretty good so far, but tell me about any inconsistencies you find!
I will form together the story as more is made. Edits:
1.The reason creepers blow up when mobs provoke them is because creepers were always enemies with skeletons, zombies, and most hostile mobs, because passive mobs and hostile mobs never liked each other. They still disliked other hostile mobs after their mutation, so they feel rage instead. That also ignites the powder. (I will try to think of something better for this one, but so far here it is.)
And when I say hugs, they want you to hug them, seeing as they don't have arms.
My dad said that creeper is kind of like decaying bush/leaf.
And its crunchy, maybe its a normal bush but then mutated because of something which made it simmiliar to animals, and the gunpowder has something to do with the mutation. Humans maybe looks 'unique' so they like to chase you because of their curiosity and when they get near you they explode because of unique smell that human made (Sweat) they couldn't afford the smell but still pushed by their curiosity and when they cant afford the smell anymore they ignite themself, or maybe creeper attacks because humans are considered dangerous creature to creeper eyes and they may have some relation to other mob simmiliar to iron golems with villagers, which they trying to get you away from something like their nest or they even saw you hurt other living things such tree. Creeper comes from plant as I know so they may have receive some telepati from trees that you cut down and the creeper is out to avenge their old friends.And from other mobs that attack you may got informed by a creeper so they join forces to kill you!

Good story, or maybe this is true. It is a good theory altogether.
If you want to read it there it is. And thinking about it, it kinda does seem like a creeper, with the twisted face, and long stretched body. And let's not forget "HSSSSSSS" insted of "DRR" DRR" "DRR"
There is also a splash on the main title screen that says DRR DRR DRR too, referring to that comic
Hahahahahaha what a prime thread. Great theory. Are creepers evolving!? You can't trick them into falling into holes as easily anymore!! The world as we know it is going to change.
I think them to be semi sentient fungus that reproduce by exploding witch fills human lungs with parasitic spores... Taking over their brain and mutating them into PHOTOSENSITIVE ZOMBIES.

This a pretty nice theory. But it's also kinda saddening. I feel bad for killing Creepers now...
Sometimes I wish I could just hug them without them exploding.
But wait, what about when you're in Creative? They don't even acknowledge you're there. Maybe you turn invisible to them in Creative?

I love that story. I always throught creepers were the dominant minecraft species, while zombies and skeletons were their servants and enderman were stranded survivors.
I don't have any Creeper theories, but they've started to develop kind of a personality in my mind, just based on how horrified and prissy and obnoxiously invested in whatever I'm doing their facial expressions are. Sort of an Earl of Lemongrab feel. "You're building a castle here? UNACCEPTABLE!" *boom*
Sometimes they circle me.
I like your theory, but what about blowing up monsters when they get mad?
That might make an awesome mod. A creeper tree.

Maybe the Sword creates a spark in them when it hits their rough skin and ignites them.

R.I.P Minecraft Forum (2009-2019)that's an oofR.I.P. Minecraft (2009-2014)we don't talk about what happened between 2014 and 2018actually it was a failed pig model, which is what some people form their theories about Minecraft upon.
