...did you by any chance find the creepers' weakness? Could it really be as simple as salt!?
Maybe i should draw a diagram... (give me a sec, gotta fire up paint)
DONE!
When you run from a creeper's hug it cries which causes its tears to flow down its tear-tubes (marked in blue) to its sodium (Na) encrusted stomach. Additionally, when you hug a creeper it is so overwhelmed with joy that the same effect happens. (If you didnt know, water+sodium = explosion)
To answer your other question, a creeper wouldnt want to eat salt because it is already so full of sodium (although salt (when i say salt i mean table salt...the stuff humans eat) and sodium are different chemicals....salt has chlorine in it) Anyway, it is my theory that creepers hate salt.
*Disclaimer: I wrote this in like 2 seconds so there are probably mistakes in the logic, and in the chemistry....i never was very good at chemistry.....
