I currently have version 1.12, if I remember correctly. I tried installing verison 1.13, but it makes my computer crash, so I have to stick to version 1.12.

In this version shields can be made with one iron ingot and six blocks of wood, placing them like this:

Wood     Iron     Wood

Wood    Wood  Wood

-         Wood       -

Ideally, I would have a bow and arrows to take out the Creeper from a distance. However, since I don't have any right now, my strategy would be to simply lure the Creeper away from the house myself. You know, coming close enough so that the Creeper sees you and chases you, but not close enough for the Creeper to explode.
