Creepers should explode when on fire

What: When a creeper is on fire it should start its explosion sequence. This could include standing in a fire block, being attacked with a flame or fire aspect weapon, standing in lava. I don't think that magma blocks would detonate the creeper since they don't light the creeper on fire. Also charged creepers should be immune to this effect, otherwise when a creeper is stuck by lightning, the charged creeper would be on fire and detonate, making them unobtainable.

Why: Creepers detonate when they are right-clicked on with flint and steel. TNT explodes when it is lit on fire. It makes sense that a creeper would also explode when it is on fire. This could be used as an effective way of fighting them, or making them explode in specific locations.

How: When the creeper starts taking fire damage it's fuse is lit.

    That does make sense.

    I agree. Maybe the fuse should be slower.

    I don't think creepers should be able to detonate this easily and destroy things. I think this would make fire enchantments less desirable and more annoying to use against them.
