Enderman
Type:	Neutral

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, at night or underground in the Overworld and 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

When killed, an enderman drops:

• 0-1 ender pearl with Looting 1, 0-2 with Looting 2 and, 1-3 with lLooting 3

• 15 experience

• 0-1 diamond with 0.5% chance, +0.2% per looting level

• Any held blocks

Behavior

Aggravation

When the player attacks or hovers their cursor near them, endermen will begin to chase and attack the player while occasionally teleporting.

Teleportation

Endermen teleport randomly, as well as with a 1 in 3 chance to teleport when damaged (making them teleport erratically in fire or rain). Their teleportation destination is random, making it difficult to kill them.
