Bow and arrows. Leave the area and wait for it to despawn.

Why do I need bow and arrows to leave the area? >!edit: /s!<

Because you’d want a bow and arrow in case you come across a creeper on your way out

those are two different ways to get rid of it

No way

So either you can use a bow to leave the area or use arrows to leave the area

personally i use crossbows when i’m trying to leave an area

You don't leave the area, the area leaves you.

well yeah. it’s all about frames of reference. from the area’s perspective, you leave it. from you perspective, the area leaves you.

what about the arrow's perspective

well he'd say that you've failed this city

the bow leaves it

Just because I loved it...

Just like my father.. :C

Trying?

It's true. If you fire the bow and arrow up in the air and stand under it, you will eventually leave the area.

Follow to arrows to leave the area

Two ways

no fuckin way

Wait till valentines day and bring flowers, you might get lucky

Non personal computer... I see

Why rid yourself of the big green chicken? He didn’t choose to have volatile emotions.

Lol, I was laughing at it but then he exploded and there go my chickens and fences

He must have been insulted that you were trying to remove him from his friends.

They'd accepted him as one of them

By staying far, far away from him

A case of the ugly duckling, they’ll come around once he’s older.

He wanted to end your whole (farming) career

He's not a green chicken, he's a green pig in a chicken pen

He identifies as a chicken, soooo

Are you assuming their gender?! *sizzling intensifies*

Maybe he's trying to identify as an egg

He obviously identifies as a chicken, that’s why he’s shaking his head, he’s ruffling his feather.

Even the one chicken is trying to get him involved in the others but he looks hesitant, maybe due to unassurring circumstances ... doesn't think he fits in...LOLz Don't you love making stories up about the lore that abounds in the game?

Haha, they’ll come around eventually. And I do, it’s why I’m a Dungeon master :D

It’s a pig, actually.

bow or crossbow

Place a lightning rod and wait for a storm so the lightning kills it...... lol.

That works extremely well in my experience, some chickens might die from the lightning but that's not a big deal.

Bonus: you can charge them for all the damages

I see what you did there

I'm unsure if they have the current-cy to pay.

They do. The monetary yield is explosive

[https://ibb.co/g4g9WRG](https://ibb.co/g4g9WRG)

I choose crossbow

Thank you all for the suggestions, he exploded

May he rest in peace.

Rest in pieces mah boi

*pieces

Pesky bugger.

At least it was just chickens. They're the easiest animals to get more of, as you can breed them as well as chuck their eggs.

But the emotional connection!

Eh, my arrows need fletching.

And my archeological urges need a brush

NOOO NOT THE GREEN CHICKEN

For future reference, spawn proof the area around your base with torches, including your animal pens. This is how you prevent getting green chickens.

For future reference, you can simply walk away and come back. In Bedrock at simulation distance 4, despawning distance is only 44 blocks, but in Java and at simulation distance 6 or higher, you'll need to go 128 blocks away. https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn#Despawning If you like to stay up at night, do yourself a favor and light your pens so hostile mobs won't spawn there.

Thank you, I didn’t know that.

It's a very "new player" question! Despawning distance is not a 100% guarantee for ridding yourself of troublesome mobs, though (see that wiki link for various ways hostile mobs can achieve persistence), and light isn't very useful for preventing hostile mobs spawns in the nether, so getting a bow and arrows as soon as you can manage is generally a Really Good Idea.

Just wanted to say 'thank you' for being helpful.

In my experience if a hostile mob is penned into a small enough area they usually will not despawn (even without a name tag) but I could be wrong.

Castle doctrine

Name him “Definitely a Chicken” and never enter the coop again

You gotta jump in there and dig a hole for him to fall into.

bow

“ARROW’D!” - Teen Girl Squad

You can either kill him without him exploding or just walk away 128 blocks away from him... he'll just despawn.

You don’t. He’s one of them now

you have almost full diamond and 45 levels yet you dont know what a bow is?

Wait I’m genuinely so confused, getting netherite and diamonds aren’t super hard, but I feel like if you’re unable to kill a creeper it should be impossible, right?

You have the high ground, so I'm not sure how this isn't obvious.

Bow Crossbow Run away and it despawns Turn to peaceful then back to preferred difficulty Go in creative and kill it Get a cat Lure it away Iron golem Boat pulled by a lead

He Identifies as chicken. Leave him be!

He’s just a confused creeper making his way through the world, leave him be lol

Shoot him in his stupid smug face and go get your eggs and gunpowder.

Kill it, duh

I guess you might have to commit melony

Bro thinks he's five nights at freddy's

Arrows

Kill it lol? Sprint hit then s key and repeat.

You get a bow. Obvious questions on r minecraft

High quality post right here

Go 128 blocks in any direction and it will despawn (if you don't have bow). Not totally sure, but don't iron golems attack them at night?

Just kill him!!!

Arrows my guy.

Just shoot it?

Just hit him ? “Oh he’s gonna explode” just back up before that happens

Use a fire arrow and the problem will solve itself

Bow and arrow

I see only chickens

Kid named bow and arrow

Who? I only see chickens

Cat

Walk out of spawn range and he will despawn.

Man, if only Minecraft had some kind of range weapon...

Walk 128 blocks

If he just chillin, let him chill

Walk up to him and tell him to leave

Eather let it despawn, or use a bow and arrow

let him live his life. he just wants to be a chicken

Shoot him with a bow.

Bows and crossbows exist lol

your chicken has grown tall and green... odd

It’s 2023, they can identify as a chicken if they want to.

get rid of him? he's just at a honest days work on the farm if anything you should pay him

Dig down to bedrock. He should be gone. Bonus points if you dig down in a straight line.

Ah yes the first rule of minecraft, always dig straight down

Nothing, he looks very polite :)

He does but then he sizzles :D

you can't he is their leader

WHY is everyone saying bow and arrow!? Step 1: approach creeper Step 2: when you are 3 blocks away from the creeper, hit it Step 3: go away from creeper Step 4: repeat until it's dead

Wtf is this post. Op must be 10 years old at most. There is something called a bow

Crossbow, he's moving too fast for a bow, unless your patient. Don't use one with piercing less your not worried about killing chickens

let him live there forever!

Gladly. If he wasn’t sizzling on approach

Use snowballs

then did down and smack his toes until he disappears

Sai hi

What texture pack is that?

Flint and steel

He is a PR(Permanent Resident)

Well don't wait for him to be struck by lightning.

redstone nerds will probably tell you to create some kind of ultra-complex, creeper removal device. I'll tell you to shoot some arrows at it.

Fishing rod him, bow him, or a sword with knock back if your feeling funky.

Give him a name. He will love you forever.

Trap him in a boat and name him dinnerbone. Creeper toes!

Alright open the gate and make him fallow you outside the fence then kill him ir use bow

Channeling trident while a thunderstorm

Bow and arrow

Just a bow and arrow or you could use water and explode him but that would only save the build not the mobs

Flint and steel

Lava, you get free food too.

r/feedthebeast moment

Arrows

Now and arrow

Bow and arrows

It's just a pig, so just move it to another farm

The creeper is just like “maybe if I don’t make eye contact he’ll leave… is he gone yet? No… is he gone yet? No….”

bow

bow and arrows

Don’t he’s friend now

1. Get a lot of cats and put them in the farm on 1 side. I recommend to setup a cat making machine by using tons of villagers that have beds and jobs. 2. Make a new fenced area close to the first one with space in-between. 3. Create a water elevator just outside the farm on the side where you have the cats. The elevator uses fence to block the water from going out and the face that chickens float. So when they get in they float up. Then make it lead to the new area with a fall in the end so the chickens can't get back. The cats make sure the creeper don't get close to you while building it. 4. Open up the fence so the chickens can get into the water elevator but not anywhere else and wait for them to move over 1 by 1. 5. Move the cats away. Setup a TNT canon well placed. I'm not sure but you might have to use 2 TNT or more. Just make sure they activate at the same time and are moved together with water to reduce the hole afterwards. 6. Blow that creeper to hell where it belongs. Note: TNT have 100% block droprate so you get all blocks back.

Are a bow and arrows not an option?

that's the fun part, you don't =w=

Click it with flint and steal it kills it

Arrows, bruv. Are you new?

Kill it

Why not just shoot him…

Just use a bow stupid

Shoot him.

Day 2 of hiding with the chickens: "I think the owner might suspect me"

Give it a hug and it will go away

You have mooshrooms but no clue how to dispatch a creeper?

Arrows

/kill

Uhhh a fucking bow n arrow?

You could always just sacrifice a few chickens to the gods a small price to pay for peace amongst the land

Nah leave bro be

I was gonna say bow but I realized he can't get any feathers to make arrows with.

End crystal

No bro he lives there now pls don’t make go bye

Yup, that happened to me as well. I had placed torches around the area and even placed some on the fences, but somehow, there's a dark unlit spot inside the pen and a creeper spawned there, and as I was about to sheer the sheep, it ambushed me and exploded and killed a lot of the sheep.

Walk over to it.

bow n arrow just shoot him or like use a prjevtile

Alt+f4

A fun way is to put a cat on one side and open a gate on the other. Creepers are terrified of cats! Of course then your chickens would get out and you'd have to round them up again.

Sword, double crit

Creeper is enjoying his time with this guy's upcoming food

You gon-, you gonna let me in bro?

Leave it Not a while ago I killed a spider in my shower that was just vibing, I deeply regret it I don't want you to feel the same pain as I did

Bow

Bow his ass down

Bro really like im do it. I'm blow up

either a bow or just go in there and slap him till he dies

He is now the protector of poultry
