This article documents an April Fools' joke. 

This feature was exclusively part of a joke version and is not currently planned for addition to regular Minecraft.
It is documented here on the wiki due to being officially-released content by Mojang Studios, even if not present in a final version.

The nerd creeper was a hostile creeper-based mob present in the April Fool's Java Edition 3D Shareware v1.34 update.

Spawning[]

Nerd creepers spawn when the player uses the cheat code "NEEEERD".

Creepers in this version have an NBT tag called  d20 (1 = true/0 = false) that determines whether the creeper is a nerd.

A nerd creeper can be summoned with the following command: /summon creeper ~ ~ ~ {d20:1}

Drops[]

When killed, nerd creepers drop:

• 5 experience points, if killed by the player or a tamed wolf.
• 1 3D item.
• 1 music disc at random, if killed by a skeleton or stray.
• 1 creeper head, if killed by a charged creeper.

Behavior[]

Nerd creepers, effectively being a reskinned creeper, shared almost all of their behavior, except when killed, they dropped the 3D item instead of gunpowder.
