Creeper Footsteps

Whether you are building a house, creating a redstone contraption, or just playing survival, creepers walking up on you and exploding from behind you back is just annoying. It destroys what you were doing, damages you significantly and deletes most of the destroyed blocks. It doesn't even leave enough to just cover the hole! Sure this is better on Java(I think) but on Bedrock we have to mine the blocks ourselves. And you still have to rebuild what it destroys on both versions. In order to avoid people quitting Minecraft because the diamond block they just put down was deleted by a stealth bomb, I suggest adding footsteps to the creeper, maybe lowering the blast radius a bit, and making it so it drops all blocks destroyed.

    Been playing with a data pack that ensures all the blocks are dropped, which does keep Creepers entertaining for sure, this would make an excellent toggleable rule, that any explosion drops all blocks, but still destroys dropped items. 

    As for the footsteps, I think all creature movements come up as footsteps, barely caught a creeper one time as I wasn't moving but the subtle had "Foot steps", Now giving mobs a unique movement sound could be cool, though in all honesty Creepers being biome camouflage and getting a unique movement sound would give a fun balance. In most Creepers are sometimes too easy to spot from afar, which sorta goes against the name sake, of being some sort of ambusher.
