Created Issue:
Charged and normal Creepers in boats do only 1 damage to nearby entities when exploding.
This bug was discovered when trying to get a creeper head by exploding a charged creeper beside a creeper. Both creepers were in boats, the charged creeper blew up leaving the other creeper right beside it relatively unharmed. Very distressing.
Also tested two ordinary creepers with same result, and an ordinary creeper beside a player who took just half a heart of damage. The boats also do not take damage, however may be thrown into the air and break on landing.
However, manoeuvring the boats to sit on the edge of a block, ensuring the creepers' feet are hanging in air, blowing up one of the creepers will kill the second creeper and both boats. It seems that as the mob is technically hanging slightly below the top of the block, their explosion damage on nearby entities is drastically reduced.

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.
