Summon Charged Creeper

Spawn a charged creeper that creates a larger explosion

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Summons a charged creeper, the lightning-struck variant whose explosion is far stronger and can drop mob heads if it kills another mob. Keep well clear, as the blast will damage terrain and you. On Java the {powered:1b} tag does the charging directly.

/summon creeper ~ ~ ~ {powered:1b}
