Creepers only deal half a heart of damage to nearby entities when exploding inside of boats

The Bug:

Creepers only deal half a heart of damage to nearby entities when exploding inside of boats.

Please note that altering the "ExplosionRadius" of the creeper will not increase the damage that you receive.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Summon a creeper that's inside of a boat by using the command provided below.

    /summon minecraft:boat ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"minecraft:creeper"}]}
  2. Switch into survival mode and approach the creeper.

  3. Wait for it to explode and when it does look at your health.

  4. Take note as to whether or not creepers only deal half a heart of damage to nearby entities when exploding inside of boats.

Observed Behavior:

Creepers only deal half a heart of damage to nearby entities.

Expected Behavior:

Creepers would deal the appropriate amount of damage to nearby entities.

Can confirm in  1.18
 

Can confirm in 1.18.2.

Interestingly enough, this issue does not affect rafts and is exclusive to boats.

That's because raft passenger position is higher than boat passenger position.

This issue was present in 1.20.1 but no longer occurs in 23w31a due to the height of creepers that are sat in boats being changed. This issue has been fixed in 23w31a so I'll be resolving this ticket as fixed.
