  * Type: Boolean (`true`/`false`)
  * Default: `true`
* **`max_check_distance`**:
  * Description: Maximum distance (in blocks) the Creeper will check ahead to detect an obstructing wall between it and the player.

**`creeper.creeper_explosions`**

Settings related to general Creeper explosion behavior.

* **`friendly_fire`**:
  * Description: If `true`, normal (non-charged) Creeper explosions can harm other Creepers, Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders, and their variants. If `false`, these mobs will be immune to normal Creeper explosions.

    * If this list is EMPTY (`pickupable_blocks: []`): The Enderman can pick up ANY block that is NOT in the Enderman's `resistant_blocks` list.

**Note:** After modifying this file, make sure to save the changes and run the command `/am reload` in-game or restart the server for them to take effect. If you are upgrading from an older version, it is highly recommended to delete your `config.yml` to generate a new one with all the latest options, or manually add the new sections for `spider_ai` and `creeper.creeper_explosions.friendly_fire`.
