creepers can explode even if the player didn't provoke it

This would usually happen because of skeletons. If the skeleton shoots a creeper when the creeper isn't targeting a player, It would most likely explode. Because of this, creepers would explode holes in a wall that surrounds a village and puts the village in danger. Raiders got through the wall hole which was caused by creeper exploding after accidentally being shot by a skeleton trying to shoot an iron golem. What I mean by "isn't targeting the player" is that the creeper doesn't detect the player.

I'm fairly certain this is normal behaviour since I've seen it (and exploited it) in previous versions.

Recommendation for your villages - add external bamboo grove and prickly bush "walls".  It works quite well.
