Best Answer

Yes, you can trap the creeper by leading it carefully down a hall, into the room you want to lock it into. Just remember to keep 2-3 block distance from you and the creeper so it doesn't start to blow. Max distance is 16 blocks before it no longer follows you.

To rename it, make sure you make a 3 block thick wall between you and the creeper, then plug the tag on it. The 3 block thick wall is to prevent it from blowing up in your face. Your reach should be around 5 blocks.
