Talk:Enderman

Drop Quirk
It seems that if you shoot an Endermen to death just as it's teleporting it will finish teleporting but immediately die. The peral gets dropped where you shot it but the orbs show up where it teleported to.

Does this merit mentioning? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by 98.234.94.80 (Talk . Please sign your posts with


 * No, loot is dropped on death, xp orbs are dropped after death, this happens with all mobs. (sprint + hit for distance, see the difference) --Wizjany 08:37, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

When picking up sand blocks
When Endermen pick up sand blocks, it appears that other sand blocks above them don't fall down. I've seen a few desert lakes around town, where there were floating sand blocks on the coast even though I had cleared them a few MC days before. Can someone confirm this?

 * Adjacent blocks don't get updated when Endermen pick up or place blocks, meaning sand and gravel won't fall if an Enderman picks up the block under them. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:45, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

The ender
I think there should be a text at the trivia that notch eventually plans to create an ender-dimension which will be the home of endermen and another mob.
 * Will do --HexZyle 06:32, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. It seemed too important to place in trivia so i put it at the top of the page (because it's part of development, is cited, and is an important and publicly hot piece of information) --HexZyle 06:37, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Okay, it doesn't matter for me if one the top or in the trivia. Though your argument is valid. KazujaXYZ

Enderman health.
Currently the box on the right lists 10 hearts of health with "before 1.9pre-2" after it. This by itself is not useful information, as changes have been made in 1.9rc3, and if enderman health hasn't changed it adds confusion. It would be helpful of this was clarified.

Fixed. :P --R ocĸetor talk  08:34, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Swarm
You know what I think would be fun? If they spawn in a small group, why don't they all stare at you when look at one? like when you stare at one, it looks at you, points, and screeches(we all know what that's a reference from :D), then the whole group looks at you, and if you start to run...

First of all, I'm pretty sure this isn't the place for suggestions. Second, that would go horribly wrong since they're supposed to have 20 hearts of health in 1.9. Cobalt32 14:19, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Fall Damage
I was experimenting with ideas for mob grinders in 1.9pre3. I tried to come up with an Endermen friendly (I guess not so friendly, as they're getting killed) design using fall damage. According to my calculations, a fall of 35 blocks should kill an Enderman. I set a spawn platform 40 blocks in the air, put an Enderman spawner on it, and pushed the Endermen off. They landed on the ground seemingly unharmed. It still took quite a few punches to kill an Enderman after it had fallen. Do Endermen suffer from fall damage? Can anybody confirm or deny this?

 * I discovered the problem. The wiki incorrectly displays 16 hearts of health for an Enderman in 1.9pre3. This inaccuracy messed up my calculations. The correct amount of health is 20 hearts. A fall of 43 blocks is required to kill an Enderman. I was concerned that they would teleport on the instant they hit water, but this does not seem to be the case. If they fall into a pool of 1-block-deep water, they will still die from a height of 43 blocks. CaMoreno3 14:41, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I corrected the incorrect health display. CaMoreno3 14:48, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
