The RTY has been made very difficult to give players a challenge.
Players can also get way OP compared to vanilla, so he made it harder to compensate.

Thing is you cna't get to end game caus every time you go mining you get one shotted by a creeper. and iron armor isnt' going to do shit in the way of protecting you from them. i'm perfectly fine with the rest of the mobs but can we at least turn it down on the creepers. No one is having fun because of them.

Agreed. Creepers one shot me from about 5 blocks distance while I'm wearing a full set of iron armor. I'd be fine with it if that would deal 6 or 7 hearts of damage at that distance.

Ok so questions:

When mining are you getting ambushed by creepers or is it when you're trying to secure an area to mine?

Are you using F7 to its fullest extent to keep areas you previously explored safe?

Do you use dirt or any other material to barricade sections temporarily to prevent mobs from getting into areas you secured?

If you answer no to either of the last two then there's your problem.

I raided one cave near my house and I only died to creeper when I was advancing into a new part of the cave and there were two of them.

Alright, so after discussing with a few players on RTY I've come to the descicion that I will nerf creepers in the next update. The nerf will NOT however just be turning down their blast radius. Sure, they'll be a bit slower (a bit) and have a slightly smaller radius, but the majority of the nerf will be comming from the fact that I will be adding 1.5 - 2 seconds of fuse time to the creepers. This will mean that people will have a larger chance to actually get away from a blast, while at the same time keeping them deadly if you are for example cornered.

As a temporary solution, Yukari now also has a quest to get a diamond shield, which will keep you alive from a blast with iron armor as long as you block it correctly.

I'm sure the spawn rate thing of stuff in the twilight forest is known,if its a bug or not I'll make this post anyways.
