Minecraft: Fall Damage
How many blocks does a Skeleton and Creeper need to fall to completely die? I've tried to do 24 blocks and it worked but it seems not necessary.

From the wiki
Players receive damage when falling from excessive heights. Armour does not reduce fall damage, unless it is enchanted with Feather Falling or Protection. Fall damage is 1 (half heart) for each block fallen after the third. Thus falling 4 blocks causes 1 half heart damage, 2 (full heart) damage for 5 blocks, 3 (heart and a half) for 6 blocks and so forth. Assuming full health (but no Feather Falling or relevant status effects), a 23 block fall will be fatal (23 - 3 = 20 (Full Heart × 10) of damage).
Mobs (other than chickens, ghasts, snow golems, blazes, magma cubes, iron golems, ocelots, bats and, presumably, the Ender dragon and wither) suffer fall damage as well.
A skeleton has 10 hearts, as well as zombies and creepers, so the fatal fall distance is 23 blocks for them.

How much damage do you take from falling in Minecraft?
Specifically, Falling Damage =(x-3)/2; where x=number of blocks fallen. This means that you can safely drop 3 blocks at once without taking damage. Jumping gives 1\xbd blocks worth of upward momentum, so if you jump off another block, you can only fall one and a half blocks safely.How far can you fall without dying in Minecraft?

All you need to do is craft a bucket by placing three iron ingots in a V shape and then fill it up with water. Keep that bucket handy because it might be helpful in a fatal situation. Falling into water negates all fall damage, even if it's just a single block of water.Do boots reduce fall damage Minecraft?
