Less Punishing Creeper Explosions

Creepers are pretty annoying to deal with but they are iconic. The Minecraft rules for developing the game say that things should not be destroyed if a player did not do it, but creepers were made before those rules. To stay true to the creeper and the game's rules it set for itself, I have an idea.

My Idea

When a creeper blows up behind your back it should do the full explosion it does now.

But many usually see the creeper and hit it 2-5 times before it inevitably explodes for seemingly no reason.

I suggest that the creeper's explosion and health are correlated so when a creeper has low heath from the 2 axe hits you did, it has smaller explosion damage that breaks 4 blocks instead of 20.
This makes the game less punishing and makes holes in your base easier to fix.

    good idea, on top of that though I think giving creeper explosions a 100% droprate on everything they blow up would be the best feature. the annoying part is that you cant fill in the holes left by creepers bc lots of blocks just disappear. 100% droprate would fix that

    I feel that creepers should have the same behavior as spiders during daylight because I am always having to deal with them blowing things up. The most annoying thing though is when they blow something, and some blocks that they blew up don't drop. It's so annoying.
