If you don't care about leaving a gaping hole in the ground and don't want its gunpowder, just use a flint-and-steel on it and run! If you use flint-and-steel on a Creeper, it won't stop itself from exploding. It’s also possible to kill a creeper from far away using a bow and arrow if you aim properly. Using this method, there’s no risk of the creeper exploding.

Minecraft Creeper LED Mood Light - 5 Inch | Official

No need to be afraid of the dark when you have this Minecraft Creeper Mood Light. This 5" cube casts a green glow, giving you enough light to continue playing long after everyone else has gone to bed. This Creeper lamp will be a brilliant addition to any Minecraft fan's collection. It makes the familiar Creeper explosion sound when it initially lights up.Creepers were invented when Minecraft's original developer, Notch, tried to make pigs, but got the height and width muddled up. So he decided to slap some gunpowder on it, give it a green texture and call it a "creeper". Charged creepers are super rare, but an easy way to get one is to enchant a trident with channeling and wait for a thunderstorm. When one comes, search for a creeper and throw the trident at it. As long as there is exposed sky, a lightningbolt will strike the creeper and turn it into a charged creeper. Now lead it to a zombie, skeleton or another creeper and use flint-and-steel on your charged creeper and run! Mean, green and full of nitroglycerin, creepers are happy enough to sacrifice themselves, so long as they ruin your day, too. What jerks! Even worse when electrified. More Creeper Gifts Add a little bling to your Minecraft game with this Minecraft Creeper Glitter Light. Better than an old-school lava lamp, this lamp uses a motor with magnets to make the glitter sparkle and spin when it's on, creating a mesmerizing, scintillating whirlpool effect. This method can be used when raiding an enemy's base, in PVP, or in combat against other mobs. However, it can be hard to get right, as the creeper may not actually explode where you want it to, since it will try to chase you as you run from it.
