The nerd creeper is a hostile creeper-based mob present in the April Fool's Java Edition 3D Shareware v1.34 update.

Spawning

Nerd creepers spawn when the player uses the cheat code "NEEEERD".

Creepers in this version have an NBT tag called [Byte] d20 (1 = true/0 = false) that determines whether the creeper is a nerd.

A nerd creeper can be summoned with the following command: /summon creeper ~ ~ ~ {d20:1}

Drops

When killed, nerd creepers drop:

• 5XP experience points, if killed by the player or a tamed wolf.
• 1 3D item.
• 1 music disc at random, if killed by a skeleton or stray.
• 1 creeper head, if killed by a charged creeper.

Behavior

Nerd creepers behave the same way as creepers except when killed, upon which they drop the 3D item in addition to gunpowder.
