Endermite

Endermites are small hostile mobs that may spawn when the player throws an ender pearl.

Spawning
Endermites have a 5% chance to spawn when an ender pearl lands when thrown by a player. The endermite spawns where the player threw the pearl, not where the pearl lands.

Drops
Endermites drop when killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Behavior
Endermites attack players (and iron golems) within 16 blocks of them. If a mob attacks an endermite, any endermites in the area become hostile toward that mob. They can attack endermen when spawned with a spawn egg.

Endermites despawn within 2 minutes, regardless of the player's distance from the endermite, except for when they have been named with a name tag.

Endermites emit particles around them, the same particles as endermen, ender chests and nether portals.

Due to being arthropods, they are affected by the Bane of Arthropods enchantment.


 * Endermen

Endermen attempt to kill endermites that spawn from ender pearls, or endermites that are spawned from spawn eggs. In Java Edition 1.17, Endermen attack all endermites

Endermen can target an endermite from up to 64 blocks away.
