Full tutorial on How To Get Charged Creepers in your Minecraft Bedrock Edition, pocket edition, or MCPE vanilla survival world. This is easy to setup but it does take time for lightning to strike the lightning rod. Build this is an area where lightning strikes happen often for best use.

A charged creeper has a significantly increased explosion power.

A charged creeper is created only when lightning strikes within four blocks of a normal creeper. The lightning can be created by any way, including naturally, with the /summon command, by a trident with the Channeling enchantment or attracted to a lightning rod. Charged creepers are distinguished from normal creepers by their blue aura surrounding.

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

Their countdown timers are the same as normal creepers, both in terms of range and time. With a power of 6, an explosion caused by a charged creeper is twice as powerful as the explosion caused by a creeper. Charged creepers's explosions are 50% more powerful than an explosion of TNT. How close the creeper was to the lightning strike does not affect the size or power of the explosion.

In Java Edition, a charged creeper explosion that kills zombies, skeletons, wither skeletons, or other creepers causes one of those mobs to drop its corresponding mob head. If multiple valid mobs are killed in the explosion, the one that drops a head is chosen at random. In Bedrock Edition, a charged creeper explosion that kills zombies, skeletons, wither skeletons, or other creepers causes all the killed mobs to drop their corresponding heads.

A charged creeper does not drop its own head when it explodes, although any other charged creepers or creepers killed in the explosion drop a creeper head. Players and ender dragons do not drop their heads, nor do mobs without corresponding mob heads, such as livestock animals.
