Sorry for the late reply, but with the knockback problen I mean that if the creeper is chasing you, it wouldn't make sense that it shoot you TNT that knocks you far away from the creeper because it would be counterproductive.
The TNT wouldn't exactly push you THAT far.....

Creepers are mine crafts greatest invention ever. yes, even bigger than redstone. The first creeper was made when notch was trying to code a pig, and failed. (I am not trying to be mean to notch.) Creepers should have a little bit more range on them, but in the sense they explode even when you are say, 6-8 blocks away. However, If creepers shot TnT, they would be so OP It's not even funny. I apologize for any negativity on this matter, and hope you will take my reaction well. However, if you want to include this in a game, may i suggest contacting a "mod-maker" or trying to make a mod yourself?
It doesn't shoot fasterwhen it gets closer, it just gets more powerful.
I'm sorry, I miss understood that part, but would it be a hard-only feature?, you know, so novice players don't have to fight against TNT shooter creatures.

Sure! Again, I'll edit the OP when I have time.

Too OP? I don't think the damages were THAT high were they?
If it knocks back it just op. One tnt every 2 seconds? In 20 blocks? You know if the player is against more than one creeper, you know how many tnts the creepers would chuck at him? No. OP

So I think we can all agree MC has become pretty easy over the years, but I have a suggestion that I think could add some of the challenge (back) into the game.......Long Ranged Creepers! Yeah. We all think Minecraft is pretty easy. (I don't...When a Creeper's at my bloody door, it sucks.)
Functionality: So basically I think the creeper should have a piece of TNT strapped to his back and when you step into a 20 block radius of him he will start shooting TNT at you constantly walking closer to finish the job with a BOOM! The Creeper can only shoot straight forward and cannot shoot up, down or diagonally. Note: The TNT would not harm blocks and will only harm the player. A Creeper always faces you (or attempts to) so having it only shoot forward doesn't matter much. Although you can hack in TnT that does no block damage with command blocks, or use /gamerule, attaching that to a mob involves pretty hard coding, cuz dat NBT.
Damage: The closer he gets...the more damage YOU gets.....I guess...... Anyway, like I said, the closer he gets the more damage he deals. 20-15 blocks away: 1 heart per TNT (BPT). 14-7 blocks away: 1 1/2 HPT. 6-2 blocks away: 2 1/2 HPT. You would have to change the TnT's NBT again here, which is hard, due to NBT not being friendly to edit mobs. (Yes, TnT is an entity, and all mobs are entities, so yea.)
Speed: He would shoot 1 TNT every 2 seconds until he gets close enough to explode. Hm. If a Creeper starts at 16 blocks away, and moves at around ~three blocks/a second, it would deal: *does math* ~9 1/2 hearts by the time it reaches you (unarmored). Consider the beginning when you have no armor, that would probably kill you due to you trying to escape while TnT blasts in your face.
So that's my idea on Long-Ranged Creepers! Leave your thoughts in the comments! My thoughts above.
Creepers are just fine as they are; if anything I think they are already a bit OP; on Normal they can nearly one-shot you in full iron armor (60% damage reduction is equivalent to 25 hearts of health unarmored) point-blank, dealing far more damage than anything else; and on Hard diamond armor (equivalent to 50 hearts), considered extremely OP by many, is absolutely necessary to survive a point-blank hit (you want it on Normal as well to ensure other mobs don't easily pick you off when you have 1/2 heart left, you can also block with a sword but you aren't always going to be able to do so in time); true, they can only explode once but dealing that much damage at once, requiring very good armor, is very OP - even the Ender Dragon only does 1/5 as much damage (and doesn't attack that often, letting you heal, so is comparable to creepers), and creepers are pretty common (same spawn chances as skeletons, spiders, and zombies; the latter's calling for help when injured makes them seem much more common but they have the same spawn probability).
That said, perhaps they should allow creepers to continue moving while counting down, instead of just standing there and letting you run away, greatly reducing, if not eliminating, damage when they explode (they were already buffed a while back by having fall damage shorten the fuse time; nothing like a a creeper dropping down on you in a cave and instantly exploding).
The TNT wouldn't exactly push you THAT far.....

you don't mean that!!

Ok, but let's get this back on long ranged creepers please.

Well, that's true, but the closer you are, the faster it shoots.
Maybe the knockback could be reduced by 65% so it isn't counterproductive.

"Wake me, when you need me."
In other words: No support. Unbalenced and OP.
That said, perhaps they should allow creepers to continue moving while counting down, instead of just standing there and letting you run away, greatly reducing, if not eliminating, damage when they explode (they were already buffed a while back by having fall damage shorten the fuse time; nothing like a a creeper dropping down on you in a cave and instantly exploding).
TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
