Steps to Turn a Creeper into a Charged Creeper
First, you need to find a creeper and build a fence around him so that the creeper cant run away. In this example, weve placed the creeper inside of a nether brick fence so that the fence doesnt burn when the lightning strikes. Other fence types (ie: wooden fences) are flamable and may burn away from fire caused by the lightning.
Here are some of the materials you can use to build a fence:
Charged Creepers are quite the forgotten mob in Minecraft. They look identical to regular creepers but have an electric aura surrounding them.
Charged Creepers can be manually spawned in a lightning storm by using a Trident with the Channeling enchantment near a Creeper. However, players must play it safe to accomplish this without being blown up!
While Charged Creepers dont necessarily spawn, they are created when lightning strikes within ten blocks of a regular creeper!
A Charged Creepers explosion does double the amount of damage than that of a regular creeper and is 50% more powerful than TNT. Luckily, the size of the explosion is the same.
Charged Creepers behave very similarly to regular creepers except for the fact that they have massively increased explosion damage.

The Roaster is a Nether variant of the Creeper. I make several variations of Creeper, each with a different element. The Roaster is located deep in the Nether, right next to Striders.
