Enderman is yet another mob character in the mainline Minecraft game and also a mini-boss in Minecraft: Dungeons. He’s also got quite the cut following online too, let’s dive into some more Enderman details:
Spawn Locations – Enderman
Spawning on any solid surface that has three empty spaces above it that have a light level of zero. Appearing in “the Nether” or “End” overworlds, they also have to have a light level no higher than 7. They are an uncommon spawn that can appear in all three dimensions and biomes bar “Mushroom Fields” and “Deep Dark”.
Often spawning in “Hauntings” rather than mobs, they usually appear in groups of four anywhere in “The End Dimension”. Finding hauntings of two or three can be very rare. It’s also a rare sight for them to spawn in “Soul Sand Valleys”, uncommon in “Nether Wastes” and found commonly in “Warped Forests”.
DROPS – ENDERMAN
Enderman has a chance of dropping an “Enderpearl”, with chances increasing by +1 based on the +1 level of looting to a maximum drop chance of 0-4. They will always drop an Enderpearl if defeated by an Iron Golem. Five XP orbs drop when killed by a player or Tame Wolf. Finally, any held blocks will drop also.
Behaviour – Enderman
Whilst being able to step up one block without jumping, users can easily take advantage of their eyes being visible even when they turn invisible. Endermen are hostile to Endermites within 64 blocks but are passive with any other mobs unless they attack of course.
They can also be provoked by looking at them in the eyes up to 64 blocks away. When they get angry, Endermen open their mouths and begin to shake, which is quite creepy for Minecraft. Make sure to carry on making eye contact when provoked, otherwise, they’ll teleport to the back of players to attack. If another mob attacks players, Endermen hauntings will retreat although they can teleport up to 32 blocks at a time.
ATTACK STRATEGIES
Here are some key points to remember:
- Damaged by Water, lava, fire, splash, water bottles, rain and standard melee attacks.
- Endermen teleport away when taking damage from natural sources.
- Ranged attacks are not effective.
