A creeper head is the head of a creeper in the form of a block. It can only be obtained by killing a creeper using a different charged creeper's explosion.

Obtaining

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

No tool can accelerate the breaking process of creeper head.[1]

Creeper head drops itself when it's destroyed. When destroyed by an explosion, the creeper head always drops as an item.

Mob loot

[edit | edit source]

Creeper heads are always dropped by a creeper if it dies due to a charged creeper's explosion. In Bedrock Edition, if multiple mobs are killed by the same charged creeper, all of them drop their heads, however in Java Edition only one mob selected at random drops its head.[2]

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Decoration

[edit | edit source]

Creeper heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to signs. They can be placed on top of, or beside each other by shift clicking.

Wearing

[edit | edit source]
See also:  Β§ Renders

The player can wear creeper heads, similarly to pumpkins or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's skin.

Disguise

[edit | edit source]

Wearing a creeper head reduces the detection range for creepers to 50% of the normal range. This is similar to (and stacks with) the reductions in detection range from sneaking and from the Invisibility status effect.

In Bedrock Edition, wearing a creeper head makes the player invisible to other players on a locator map.

Dispensers

[edit | edit source]

A dispenser can equip a creeper head on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing.

Piston interactivity

[edit | edit source]

Creeper head is destroyed when the piston tries to push it. It can't be pulled by the sticky piston.

Enchantments

[edit | edit source]

Creeper heads can receive the following enchantments, but only through an anvil.

Note blocks

[edit | edit source]

Placing a creeper head above a note block causes the note block to play the creeper's primed (hissing) sound when activated. This is unlike other mob heads, as creepers don't make ambient sounds.

The block below the note block does not affect the mob sound it creates.
