Enderman

Enderman
Type:	Neutral
Drops:	Enderpearl, Diamond (Diamond drop is very rare, likely 1-5%)

Endermen are 3 block tall neutral mobs that can pick up blocks and teleport.

Spawning

Endermen require 3 blocks to spawn. They spawn in dark areas, such as at night or underground in the Overworld, or in the Nether.

In the End, they spawn much more regularly, in any lighting conditions.

Endermen, unlike some other neutral mobs, do not spawn at all on the peaceful difficulty.

Drops

The enderman drops 0-1 enderpearls and some experience points upon death. It also has a rare drop of a diamond. When they die, they also may drop the block in their hand if they are holding one.

Behavior

Aggravation

The enderman's attack will only start when the player 'stares' at them for a short amount of time, upon which they will start shaking. This behavior stops immediately after the player looks away. After this point, the enderman will continue to chase the player, occasionally teleporting. The speed of which an enderman sprints towards the player is slightly faster than the player's walking speed.

Teleportation

Endermen occasionally teleport when damage is inflicted upon them, and sometimes randomly. The location to which they teleport is random. In some cases, the enderman may teleport too far from the cause of the damage to pursue the attacker. Then, unfortunately for the player, the enderpearl is not collected.

Picking up Blocks

Enderman have the ability to pick up and place blocks randomly.
