In my opinion they we buff too much, I just got hit point blank when i had full health and 3 pieces of half destroyed iron armor and I got 1 hit.
If you have no iron armor and are just starting in a world, you are pretty much insta killed by and point of the explosion, they should do 8-9 hearts of damage , enough to **** with you, but not enough to inta kill you.
TBH this is kinda a rage because for the past few few days i have lost diamonds, enchantment tables, and tons of my stuff, due to an unneeded buff.

I'd like to see you stand next to some sort of bomb (point blank!) while wearing iron armour and survive.
creepers need to be buffed some more! they're weak!

To my knowledge, Creepers haven't been buffed. Source? They're the third easiest monster to kill next to Zombies and Spiders if you have a good headset and are aware of your surroundings so even if they have been buffed, I don't care.
Its true. At first i thought i was seeing things - but i've been one shot at full life WITH FULL IRON ARMOR too many times to just throw it away as false. I have no source though - i dont follow notches twitter often or anything. I play on a SMP server (i don't know what difficulty these are set at by default). It seems based on distance from creeper when they explode, but not positive. Creepers are very easy to kill when you see them coming, yes. They honestly rarely sneak up on me but, When you explore constantly as i do, eventually.. because of the fact they they have no footsteps.. they will get you sometimes - especially since they can kill you with one explosion through iron armor.
What i'm curious about if anyone knows what i know above (creepers can one-shot through iron armor) and has tested Blast-resistant armor through enchants to see if it makes creepers survivable. That may be interesting but still would be a bit lame to rely on enchants to actually survive a single hit from a creeper. I would love to be mortally wounded have only one leg left and limp away after a creeper blast, but being One-shot full hp, full iron armor (sometimes with random enchants) by 1 creeper blast? Its not good design.
SMP server i'm on is simply vanilla pre-5, no mods, and my friends have confirmed the one-shotting creepers w/ iron armor from first hand experience.
With the blast protection enchantment creepers have to be buffed or else they would NEVER be a threat ever again. They are meant to be dangerous, not just annoying.
I've looked through the ENTIRE 1.9 Features List and Creepers aren't even mentioned, however I found this within the 1.9 PR 5 changes list. If you aren't going to prove to me that Creepers were buffed then I'm going to remain skeptical of your claim.
"Longer reach for fighting mobs. Confirmed."
@Mr.Dispair - If you do not even know what difficulty you are playing on then I can discount what you're saying because for all I know, it could be because the server's set to Hard.
I've read all those feature change lists as well, i play the game myself though and realize there can be undocumented changes.
As far as SMP difficulty goes, you cannot set difficulty in SMP even as server host, you either have monsters on or off. SMP Creepers one-shot at point blank.
There are plenty of plugins which can set monster difficulty. You do not know much about the server and therefore I do not think you're reliable. I'm going to remain skeptical of any buffs to Creepers; I don't find Creepers to be difficult, but then again my primary weapon is a bucket of Lava and not a Sword.
My friend made this server - as of currently he has zero mods or plugins whatsoever on the server. He downloaded a link i provided him and simply ran the server off the official link i gave him for 1.9 pre-release 5.
I'm done here because there is no one of value to discuss this feature that i know exists in-game on vanilla pre-release SMP servers. Majority of the replies are fail troll posts like mash above. (who probably looks exactly like his avatar irl) Or me having to make people believe what i'm saying is true, when these people probably haven't played the game in a while (or haven't played on a vanilla SMP serv). It simply just doesn't lead to productive conversation and is a waste of time so i'm logging off in disgust. :smile.gif:

Get it in your heads. CREEPERS GOT BUFFED. (Ghasts too.)
Source: MINECRAFT. PLAY THE GAME!
Creepers are now strong enough to kill you in one hit from a significant distance on easy (they used to do 5.5 hearts point blank). On normal, you're dead in one hit at close range even with full armor. It's not fair to say that you should have blast resistant armor because that is the rarest protection enchantment available; you will usually end up with regular protection or projectile protection.
To put this in perspective, I have died 7 times in the new pre-release. One of those was from an enderman fight that went wrong, and the other 6 were all creepers. Because endermen force you to start the battle, creepers are extremely powerful compared to all the other mobs.
You can kill a Creeper without even moving a single inch as long as you whack them at maximum sword range (it's a lot longer than you think it would be, try it). This won't work in multiplayer, though, because of lag (Creepers turn into exploding Endermen in MP).

I agree I am completely angry at Mojang for buffing up explosions like this.
Sure I'd understand if it came ages ago, but it didn't.
Creeper damage never used to be this bad for over a year since back in Survival Test when they exploded on death.
It doesn't help that even ghasts have received the same buff up.
Now the Nether just plain sucks more than it already does. Useless land as it is already even in 1.9PR5.
Creepers really need nerfing down.
I had full Iron armour on and full health and a creeper exploded 4 blocks away and I died. What the hell?
And to the fools saying that they're easy to kill or that you shouldn't survive the explosion... Did you play during Indev, alpha or early Beta? No? Then Shut up. They have been practically the same and improved for over a year. Then suddenly changed just before released? I don't think so.
You can die in point-blank Creeper explosion even if you are playing easy (Wiki said that Point Blank Creeper Explosion is suppose to do 5 1/2 Hearts of damage on easy NOT AN INSTANT KO.) (Note: This is without armor.)
I died many times because of that. But with armor it solves pretty much most of it even in point blank.
It's not even for sure if Creeper's got buffed. I've been 1 hit by creepers before 1.8, in like 1.5 I got 1 hitted. It's nothing new, it just seems like they are stronger because you suck. > You

They most definitely have gotten a buff...either that or due to a bug explosion damage no longer varies based on difficulty setting. I only play on easy mode because frankly, I play games to be entertained not angered, so challenge isn't something I care about entirely. So just...friggen spare me the childish "you just suck" garbage.
Plenty of times I've been mid-combat with other mobs and a Creeper happened to wander close enough to notice me, suddenly I'm dead even with full health on easy mode, same goes with Ghasts that happen to wander into range to shoot me. With experience it's far more important to go out and kill stuff at night, so you put yourself at that risk, that's fine. But I play on easy because I don't want to get one-shot killed by a Creeper I couldn't have seen coming.
Sigh.. I say buff every mob. When you can start punching mobs 8 squares away from sprinting and preform crits than obviously they need to become harder.

How to Kill Your Creeper:
Step 1: Hit it
Step 2: Back up
Repeat until dead.
I've never been one shot by a creeper when I wear armor. Even leather armor. They aren't particularly hard to get away from, if you're not sure you can make it. You don't have to fight everything you see, y'know. And if you're cornered, sprint up to it and hit it. Heck, you can even block the explosion.

Were you wearing full armor in 1.8?
