I had created a portal from the Nether to the Overworld. A creeper entered it. I used a Splash Potion of Invisibility Extended on myself, confirmed that it had taken effect by pressing "E" and stepped through the portal. As soon as I appeared in the Nether, the Creeper triggered, blowing a hole in my shelter and snuffing the portal.
What I expected to happen was...:
I expected, at the very least, to have time to assess the situation and determine a course of action because the creeper would not know I was there. This was, however, the first time I've used invisibility, and I couldn't find anything about this being a known or expected result.
What actually happened was...:
The creeper acted exactly as though I were not invisible and did what creepers do.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you're in Survival on Hard
2. Send a Creeper through a nether portal from the overworld
3. use a splash potion of invisibility extended on yourself
4. step through the portal
5. wince

Okay. I definitely bumped into it when I came through the portal.
I was also about to add that I believe it was in pursuit mode at the time. Realized that might make a difference (but probably shouldn't?).
It shouldn't. As soon as you bump into the creeper he'll explode. So always keep your portals safe from any intruders 😉.
Mobs are able to see you even if you are invisible if you bump right into them, which is highly likely with portals.
