Sneaky Creepers are a type of Creeper that spawn exclusively in the Gunpowder Mines. They have the appearance of a normal creeper - however, they are invisible until they approach the player.
What makes the Sneaky Creeper unique in the Gunpowder Mines?
In the Gunpowder Mines, the Sneaky Creeper is unique due to its invisibility until it approaches a player. Upon nearing a player, it becomes visible and starts to explode, similar to a regular creeper. If a player escapes before the explosion, the Sneaky Creeper remains visible and behaves like a regular creeper. Eliminating the Sneaky Creeper before it explodes averts the explosion, yielding Combat XP and Gunpowder. It possesses 120 Health and inflicts 80 Damage.

How does the Sneaky Creeper behave differently from a normal creeper in Hypixel?
In Hypixel, the Sneaky Creeper is unique as it spawns only in the Gunpowder Mines and stays invisible until it nears a player. It then mimics a normal creeper, initiating an explosion. If the player escapes before detonation, it remains visible and behaves like a regular creeper. Killing it prior to explosion prevents the blast and yields Combat XP and Gunpowder. It possesses 120 Health and inflicts 80 Damage.

What happens when a player gets in range of a Sneaky Creeper?
Upon a player's approach, a Sneaky Creeper becomes visible and starts its explosion sequence. If the player retreats before the blast, the creeper stays visible, acting like a standard creeper. Eliminating the Sneaky Creeper before it explodes prevents the blast, yielding Combat XP and Gunpowder. The creature possesses 120 health points and inflicts 80 damage. It's difficult to eliminate them without setting off their explosion, and they typically spawn in the Gunpowder Mines.

How can a player avoid the explosion of a Sneaky Creeper in Hypixel?
In Hypixel, players can evade a Sneaky Creeper's explosion by running away before it detonates, causing it to defuse. Another tactic is to eliminate the Sneaky Creeper before it has a chance to explode. If a player aims to collect gunpowder, they should attack the Sneaky Creeper immediately upon hearing the 'sss' sound, then return with a weapon or use a bow to finish it off. Using a Skeleton Pet (Legendary) that can shoot the Sneaky Creeper before it explodes is also an effective strategy.
The Sneaky Creeper spawns in the Gunpowder Mines completely invisible.
Upon getting in range of a player, the Sneaky Creeper will become visible. It will then also begin to explode, like a normal creeper. If the player runs away before it explodes, it will stay visible, and act entirely like a normal creeper. Killing the Sneaky Creeper before it explodes will prevent the explosion, granting Combat XP and some Gunpowder.
Sneaky Creepers are not really a threat, but it is hard to kill them without them exploding. If you really want to kill them to collect gunpowder or grind bestiary, then, as soon as you hear the "sss" sound, run away until they defuse and then either come back with your sword or finish them off with a bow. Alternatively, you can find someone trying to mine, follow them around, and kill any creepers that spawn near them. An alternative strategy is to use a Skeleton Pet (Legendary), which will shoot the Sneaky Creeper before it is able to explode.
If you are lucky, you can also try shooting randomly, but this usually does not yield any results. Bouncy arrows can be used to make it easier to get multiple in a row.
Trivia[]
Sneaky Creepers have a 9Pray RNGesus(<1%) chance to drop an Exp Share Core. If the player gets this early on, they can get a bit of money.
They can be killed by homing weapon when invisible which allows them to be farmed easily for bestiary.
