Enderman

Enderman
Type:	Neutral
Drops:	Ender pearl 0-1, Diamond 0.5%

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 ender pearls and 15 experience points upon death. It also has a 0.5% to drop 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 (causing them to teleport erratically when on fire), 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 ender pearl is not collected.

Picking up Blocks

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

Trivia

• The enderman is the only mob that can naturally spawn in all three dimensions.
• Mine Blocks endermen are far more sensitive to 'staring' than in Minecraft. While endermen in Minecraft will stay in their neutral state as long as the crosshair isn't on their face, Mine Blocks endermen are aggravated by the crosshair simply being on the same side of The player as them, making them extremely hard to avoid aggravating.
