Jeeper
Jeepers are frightening creeper relatives found in deep caves, substantially more frequently in dripstone caves biomes.
Jeepers have a max health of 22, making them only slightly tougher than creepers. They are partially blind and rather bumbling, meaning they may be confused if you sprint around them.
Jeepers may be found lodged in cave ceilings, silently waiting to strike. When a player walks below them without sneaking, they will drop down and attempt to explode. If the player manages to get away quickly, the Jeeper will go back to its usual behavior similar to creepers.
For obvious reasons, Jeepers are immune to fall damage.
Jeepers take slightly longer to detonate than Creepers, and produce an explosion nearly twice as powerful. There is a point of no return after 2/3 of their fuse time, in which exiting their range will not cause them to defuse.
While their fuse is ticking, Jeepers will flash white and their eye and mouth holes will glow bright green.
