The iconic green mob has frayed the nerves of many players.
Previously, creative director Jens Bergensten spoke about the famous green mob from Minecraft. In his opinion, it is unlikely that it would have appeared in the current version of the game.
This caused criticism online, and the original creator of Minecraft, Markus "Notch" Persson, reacted to such messages.
The creator explained that he himself is not a fan of the creeper and has long seen the problem in its destructive capabilities and made attempts to fix it:
I often see Jens being hated for his words that the creeper exists only because it is iconic, and I would like to clarify the situation. Actually, this was MY opinion initially. I tried to fix the creeper by making it explode only as a result of the player's action / inaction, since I realized that random destructive events that you cannot control are uninteresting.
