What items can you retrieve intact if a creeper explodes in certain biomes? I usually get sand and grass. Can you also get sandstone and stone as well?

You can get any mineable block except for obsidian. Just blow up a creeper next to it. These blocks are not rewards, they are the blocks the creeper has destroyed. 75% of the blocks are destroyed outright and 25% will leave behind the block as if it had been mined.
A while ago there was a thread on reddit with a server for which this was the primary means of getting resources since most tools were banned. You may be interested:
