I do ,in fact, think it should be a toggle option. But by the time I realized how good of an idea that was I couldnt change the post.
In an odd way I think they shouldn't remove it, sure it's annoying and all... but I like the feel of Skyblock being a little challenging. After all, we already have /god and /fly.
If they are removed, perhaps an option to at least enable or disable like in claims for the survivals. Edit: I changed my vote to yes, my reasoning is people will be able to lure creepers around other's islands and mess things up. I'm pretty sure something like that has already happened, but at any rate - a way to at least toggle their explosions would be nice if not straight up removing the mob griefing.
It's doesn't seem like that much of an issue to me. I usually kill the creepers before they explode, and as long as your island is well lit you shouldn't have a problem with mobs sneaking up on you. Also if it is creepers exploding in your grinder that is bothering you, you can find many tutorials on how to build grinder that kill mobs for you on youtube.
I agree that creeper explosions should be a toggle. There are and I'm sure more people will build islands with towns or big complex houses and that also means having some areas that aren't well lit, because certain ligh sources spread everywhere on your floors and walls are not the most attractive thing to be seen on an island, especially if you're trying to make your island look a certain way. The way it currently is makes it fairly easy to grief people's homes.
Just because you have the ability to turn god or fly on doesn't mean you have to turn it on if you wish to have such a challenge!
I do not think it should be removed. Sure I've only died about 7 times from creepers but it's a challenge
I see it as a potential problem. It's been used and can be used as a griefing method. An option to toggle it would be nice.
I want it off, because many mobs spawn, and often skeleton provoke creepers and destroy my island. SMH
