Re-implement mobs running away from creepers about to explode like in 1.8

Mojang removed this feature because it slowed down the game, every mob was constantly checking if a creeper was nearby.

I think they should re-implement this feature and I have an idea on how to fix the lag problem. Instead of the mobs checking every second globally, code this so when a creeper is about to explode it gathers a list of nearby mobs and signals them to run away.

You could even take this a stretch further and only make smarter mobs like skeletons run away from creeper explosions. This would help performance too.

    The bogged would poison the creeper with its Red mushroom when the creeper is about to blow up.
