Are you really complaining about something that was put in the game that was made to cause harm to you? that's pretty low lol.
For creepers, just keep looking ALL around you if in the dark. for lava, just don't dig down and don't jump into it lol
Sounds like you just told me to do what I do all the time.
Its not that I don't mind them harming me, its that after a while of patching up holes in my village floors, they become more frustration than fun.
The fact that you imply I fell into lava that way is pretty ignorant of you because I surely didn't. I was knocked into it by mobs.
You completely misread everything I posted, Thus you shouldn't comment it.
Lets recap why creepers are overpowered.
Their explosion radius is rather large, they took out my entire entrance wall with ease.
Their quantity is extremely high, they are pretty much everywhere and in large numbers, which brings to the question, Why make such a bothersome mob spawn as often as say a zombie?
They can do what they want, when they want, as daylight doesn't effect them.
I could care less about their damage to me, but honestly the Creeper is a really redundant mob in my opinion, all they do blow up peoples houses and cause frustration and anger. Their drop is hardly worth the fight, and its pretty hard to fight them in SMP because they are rather touchy and will blow up with the slightest provocation even if you are 20 blocks away.
So before you try to get all "Quit complaining" with me again, join my server and live in the village with us, you'll learn quicker than stuff what I mean.
