Creepers shouldn't take explosion damage

If you explode tnt next to a creeper, the creeper will take damage. That doesn't really make any sense, since creepers are basically living tnt creatures. If something blows up near a creeper, that creeper should become lit and then explode, instead of just taking damage and probably dying.

    But they should, since they die to explode. Implying that they do not survive an explosion

    They should have reduced explosion damage.

    Yeah I think explosions and fire (including flaming arrows) should ignite the creeper. That would make head harvesting much easier cause you don't have to be so close when the charged creeper blows

    daniel andrade and Astrodog222 when a block of tnt is exposed to an explosion, the tnt isn't destroyed, it is ignited and it explodes. This should be the same with creepers since they are basically living embodiments of tnt. If you looked at the anatomy of a creeper, you would see it having tnt inside its body.
