Creepers blow up way too far away

Creepers blow up at weird distances, even if the player is many blocks away. Far enough that it's definitely a bug

I have the same issue on Switch, Bedrock v1.14.30.

Every so often, after spending a night doing things in my (entirely closed off) house, I find creeper craters outside, up to several chunks away, even in lit areas. It's happening often enough that whenever I get around to filling them in, it takes less than an hour for another to appear, and that they accumulate quickly when I don't. It's frustrating beyond measure. I don't even feel like building anything anymore if it just blows up anyway, out of sight where I can't even stop it.

 

A few of the craters had iron ingots or stuck golems nearby, but neither should be attacking the other. If the creepers took collateral damage from a Golem's attack on a different mob, that could be part of the problem.

 

Updating status to "community consensus" based on duplicate reports. It appears that each report of creepers blowing up far away can be explained by creepers retaliating against other mobs that accidently hit them (especially skeletons shooting at iron golems).
