Talk:Enderman

Why the Enderhell?
I wonder why does the Enderman spawn on the Overworld. It's not like they are afraid of heights, when they fall off The End they teleport to the overworld, nor do they hate their homeworld (if you don't know, its called "The End). Why don't they stay in their little spot in space (yeah it's in space) and stay there! Curse you Enderman! You set off a TNT block :(. Donottouchme 11:50, 27 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Endermen were originally just another hostile (technically neutral) mob, along with creepers, zombies, skeletons, etc. The End was added after Endermen, as their "hole dimension" -- the place where they supposedly come from. However, they actually only stay in whichever dimension they spawn in. Also, if Endermen only existed in The End, then, apart from The End being literally impossible to access, the Endermen would be a bit of a waste. Having a mob which only exists in the boss world, unless it is the boss mob itself, is pointless and wasteful. Also, it is not officially in space -- Notch said that the Nether was not under the Overworld, but in its own dimension; the same presumably applies to The End.


 * That's the facts... Now my opinion.


 * I agree that The End is probably in space. I also believe that The Nether is under the world, regardless of what Notch says. I believe that the Endermen started in the Overworld, where they evolved from villagers, pigmen, or a similar mob. Thet then invented Nether Portals to travel to The Nether, but found it too full of ghasts (which, by the way, evolved from squids. =P), so they left and started developing a new type of portal, which they kept in their strongholds. When they entered The End, they found it uninhabited and devoid of liquid, which made it the perfect place for them to live. They then spread to multiple Ends, where they evolved into Enderdragons. However, only some of the Endermen moved to The End. Expecting them all to go there would be like expecting the entire human race to move to the moon.


 * That's just my fictional explanation for the Endermen -- it's entirely up to you whether or not you want to believe it.

Oh! Can I join the conversation? Here's another these: the Endermen inhabited the End, ruled by their beloved Enderdragon. Meanwhile, in an alternate dimension, the Humans had a global (dimensionwide?) and highly advanced civilisation. They built the Mineshafts, the Temples, but not the Villages. They also built three Strongholds, to be the centers of their civilisation. Eventually, they figured out to build the Nether Portals, without anticipating the consequences (Please don't ask me how they activated them without Eyes of Ender...). As soon as they were activated, Endermen fell into the Overworld, and destroyed the great cities and magnificent monuments. The Strongholds and Mineshafts persist because they're subterranean. I'm not sure what happened to the Humans. Maybe they became the Ghasts, and has since cried for their fate. Out of jealousy, they attack any alive Humans they see. Or maybe, they were infected by the Zombies and thus wander the Earth. Some of them survived though, and by pure coincidence, they are all called Steve. The Endermen continued to patrol the Overworld in pairs (that's how the Endermen operate), looking for someone they've missed. Oh, and later the Villagers and their Villages spawned. I have no idea where they come from. Probably evolved from the pigs. (seriousgamerkid) I think enderman are select few of cursed soles/ghast who notch thinks have finished there time in the nether. i think the enderman are in the overworld because herobrin curuted the enderdragon to turn the enderdragon evil and to rip a hole in the the separation between the end and the overworld. this is also my explanation why enderman are only in versions after 1.8. (note) herobrine corupted the enderdragon because he wasnt happy with his kingdom the nether (2nd note) the enderdragon is the god of the end.

These are all great theories, but I'd like to make a point: how are there going to be more enderMEN if there are no enderGIRLS? I think enders are Steve's distant cousins, and the endergirls stay in the end in house-like structures below ground level, and like to come to the overworld to mess with players and make them think the enderman with long black hair they just saw was a complicated bug. Don't think they're shy. They're even more adventurous then the endermen. The reason they stay indoors is because the enderdragon attacks endergirls on sight. He knows they aren't supposed to be in the game. If 3 or more endergirls are in one place in the overworld at once, the whole chunk starts turning purple and green. I believe they are in the game, no matter what Notch says. Miraklemax 14:26, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

because the endermens have been tortured so much that they lost their gender and why there endermen isn't because there boys its because they USED to be humans

To anonymous user that put that: No offense, but I think the theory of them being "tortured" is a bit of a stretch. Seriously. Miraklemax 00:12, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

I got another theory (I wonder if anyone will get to read this at all!): Endermen were previously humans (like Steve and such) who were kind and generous, much unlike the selfish, standoff humans in the Overworld today (Steve). Now, somewhere in the Overworld's first stronghold, one of the selfish humans built two portals to what seemed like two different worlds. One was to the Nether, which was previously named "Hell" for the humans detested it's firey atmosphere and the creatures within it, whom were only Withers and Zombie Pigmen at the time. The other world was a seemingly desolate plain with vast collums of obsidian. The humans believed they could populate the end, dispersing themselves and claiming more land for humankind. So, out of pure greed, the selfish humans sent the entire race of kind humans into the void-where they struggled to survive, without food, resources, or anything, much like your player on minecraft. Battered and bruised (I think this explains why they're black.), they somehow met the Enderdragon, the god of the End. The Enderdragon saw and felt the humans pain, and therefore offered them a deal. "I shall heal you and relieve your pain, even let you live here in massive colonies like you do in the Overworld, if you agree to become my peoples,born to my liking, my style, under my command, and take my name into yours." The humans agreed. So they lived in the End, each new generation stronger and taller than the last, their skin ripening to a purplish-black hue, a battlescar of the past, their minds widening, purple Enderdragon magic entering their blood-and their eyes, until they eventually became the Endermen of the End. They were still kind and merry folk, but now, they were bent on revenge. Under the command of the Enderdragon, armies of Endermen flooded the Overworld in pairs, ready to take down the humans of the Overworld. They did. But alas, the humans were not so easily extinguished. A measly, ragtag group of normal young adults clung to life, roaming the now empty Overworld, trying to re-create it's former beauty, careful of the Endermen, as they knew, the war was not so easily over. And now-present time in the game, the war continues. THANKS FOR READING 174.89.131.237 17:16, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

White Endermen
Just today I was playing minecraft on single player and when night time rolled around I saw 2 to 3 white Endermen walking outside my home I got some screen shots what do you think it means? (Unsigned)


 * it may have been the texture pack you were using. if more than the 6 pixels allocated to the eyes of the enderman are changed in 'endermen eyes', the whole mob glows white.√Onion=Shallot 08:33, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

this is my explanation of the term (endemen)

It was a dark night, a poor Steve wanders out side to slay some mobs while he was under ground he hit something. He uncovers what seems to be a gray-black rock that he cannot break after mining. Then he finds a hole, he looks in it and foolishly jumps in. Steve lands on a block looking around he names the place the End because he stopped falling here. After a long session of exploring he see's some-one and runs up to him (or her) and taps them on the shoulder. As it peers into Steve, it lets out a scream. Steve has never been seen since.

The end
I think there should be a text at the trivia that notch eventually plans to create an end-dimension which will be the home of endermen and another mob. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by KazujaXYZ (Talk&#124;Contribs) Please sign your posts with

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

The end was put in, and the "other mob" mentioned is the Enderdragon, the first boss mob. This is for people with minecraft versions before the end was added. Miraklemax 00:16, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

House Building
Has anyone ever seen were all the Endermen take their blocks? I wonder if the teleport them all away to a house or something as once an Enderman stole a library block and ran away with it. One also started buidling an odd structure in a cave and stood there is if it was guarding it.(sangheili0s Nov 24 2011 9:35 pm)
 * It's random. HotdogPi ⑬㊲ 00:11, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Teleporting limits
I'm trying to build a dark room, and I'm having a hard time finding any data on the limits of the Enderman's ability to teleport. Specifically, I have 2 questions:


 * 1) The limit of the Enderman's ability to teleport, horizontally and vertically. I'm especially looking for vertical, as I have seen less testing towards that end.  I have seen tests to confirm horizontal of at least 31 blocks, and I have seen myself 20 vertically.


 * 2) Any block that is confirmed to prevent telporting on to. I can confirm right now that they can teleport onto half slabs, btw.

Any information would be appreciated, as well as beneficial to the wiki. Thank you.Pakratt0013 14:01, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

There is a video on youtube enderman teleport science or something. it shows that they only teleport 32 blocks. And that they can teleport to any blok as long as there is 3 spaces of air above it, except when there is water on it. (they also teleport to 1/2stone, air, air, air). On our multiplayer server we made a mob tower and enderman wont even escape the water at the bottom if they have nowhere togo. we made everything 2high or filled with water. 35+(x trap 40)+35 35+(z trap 40)+35 35+(y trap 40)+35 <at bedrock saves work :) I even looked in the decompiled code and there is a number 32 in one of the methods so :). Dextersworld

I can also confirm that they can teleport onto half slabs (half slabs prevent spawning, not teleporting). I'm going to make that change now. -NoLemurs 17:18, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Glass
my friend was telling me bout his brother. he was building a glass chest (a chest with 2*64 glass in it) and let his door open. As he came back, the chest was open and an enderman was there. the player was attacking the enderman, and he teleported away. then the glass stacks were away. LAter he found a glass tower. in 1.0.0! Under this was a stronghold. i also tried to do this in 11w48a. once an enderman was on my glass chest, it was night and i was watching from my house. he looked at me... and I took a water bucket. the enderman was aggressive, but teleported away, into an ocean, and teleported again, somewhere unknown. I was shocked. why this? and why can he take glass blocks?NaNdummy 17:18, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Glass dissapearence is either a bug, or he just made up this. Area with glass tower probably was generated is one of the prereleases, where it was a testing feature. Endermen do NOT take any items from the chest. — MiiNiPaaT 20:47, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * He was taking blocks at mine, and out of chest at my friend. maybe my friend was lying. but why did he teleport away? at normal, if hes aggresive, he would teleport to me! NaNdummy 08:19, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * When he is hurt by water, he tries to teleport from danger which can be glitchy sometimes. About block moving: Enderman — confirmed by source code. — MiiNiPaaT 09:13, 4 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I know, im also a mod developer. but he wasnt hurt by water on teleporting at the first time! He was before the glass tower and teleporting away from me. NaNdummy 14:39, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Just to say: In around v1.9 there were glass towers over the end stronghold.84.191.31.94 12:16, 28 March 2012 (UT

i did a little test where i forced ~500 endermen to disect a house, and they do it often at 500 endermen. heres my suggestion: -make a flatland world on creative -place bunch of mycelium in one focused area -using single player commands or spawn eggs, spawn about 5 endermen at night. they will pick up the mycelium, but may teleport away (their method of despawning) when the sun rises, so hurry!174.20.35.38 20:37, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Enderman Build Abandend Mines

 * This is the exciting story of the Enderman and the Abandoned Mine.

The other day, I was exploring a cave. I had gotten lots of iron and even some gold, and I felt happiness bubble within me. But what light through yonder stonedust breaks? Lava? An exit? Like a moth to a flame (or a pig to a carrot), I was drawn closer. As I walked nearer, I saw that it was an Abandoned Mineshaft. Score! I started towards the corridor, expecting to find some phat loot. But when the corridor swung, I found myself looking at an Enderman. As my adventurer skills were adept, I sweeped back into the shadows before thinking. I curiously peeked around the corner. And there it stood. Three meters tall, cloaked in the shadows of the End, its eyes gleaming with purple prettiness. And then it happened. The Enderman took a stone!! My heart began pounding, my breath raised to a furious crescendo, that I to this day cannot believe the Enderman did not hear. But no, it had not noted me. My mind was racing with awareness, and shortly after, my mind won (har har, I'm such a funny guy...right...? ...Umm...). The Enderman, appearantly not needing the stone anyway, left it behind, and walked away, as if nothing had happened. Minutes passed, before I got myself together. My passion for exploring the Mineshaft had vanished as Undeads before the Sun, and I headed for the Minecraft Wiki, intent on telling everyone about this incredible tale of the Ænteman and his dear Abandend Mein. They probably lived happily ever after.--85.27.161.163 16:29, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

"Purple prettiness" is right. Miraklemax 12:35, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Unsettling theory
Something just hit me when I was thinking about the way Endermen are provoked... what if they attack you because they're afraid of you?

Think about it, when you stare at one and they turn to you with their mouths open and shake in place, doesn't it look like they're trembling in fear? Not that I actually think this is the case, just a rather disturbing thought that popped into my head at one point. Cobalt32 16:44, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * OoohhHHHhhooOOOOoohhh, spooky....Never actually thought of that.--85.27.161.163 17:02, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Enderman Buildings
Maybe enderman can build stuff like in caves and such,I mean that would be really cool anyone agree?

I have no idea why they take blocks in the first place. I mean, they're based off of "Slender Man" (look him up if you have no idea where he is and remember random people dress athletes up and blur their faces and post videos on youtube to scare people) and he never picks up dirt and carries it somewhere. Id love to have endermen build me a 5 story house in a cave, though XD -wizardphoenix
 * I think all the odd features about them is to add mystery. The blockcarrying, the shaking, the purple eyes..it is a perfect growing place for creepypasta. Oh, and yes, if they were more organized with their blockpicking, that would certainly make me much more scared of them.


 * The block carrying seems benign, maybe slightly annoying, maybe slightly cute, until you realize slenderman flips the blocks. Literally, making them mirror image of themselves. A block of TNT carried by Enderman reads 'TИT'. Now imagine the Enderman doing this to a live person. Suddenly everything that was right becomes left and vice versa. Chirality of particles changes, some foods become poisonous, your DNA twists in the opposite direction! ƨbɿɒwʞɔɒd ƨi ǫniʜƚyɿɘvɘ - Still not creepy enough? 83.14.232.226 11:19, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

this happend to me to i was in the desert and i saw a well and a cuple days latter they came out with the update for desert villages scary

this called a desert well, and its fairly rare. there is a wiki page on this.

Its a desert well :P I thought villagers somehow built it. Desert wells are rare, but only used to easily give the player water if they live by it. They might have more use later on, and I even thought about there being a hole under a random block of water leading to a room of treasure in the future. -wixardphoenix

Or simply make sure that their is a certain light level in all areas (above 7 or something like that), make sure there are no 3 block tall areas which are un-lit, or use half slabs/opaque blocks (IE glass and glowstone) on the floor to prevent any mobs from spawning there -"youngy93" 88.111.128.48 00:25, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Why is this needed? You obviously haven't fought an Enderman for yourself, as they are only just a little harder than killing a Spider Jockey. What little bird is there to tell you? The Endermen are not scary at all. Also, use PROPER pronuciantion, like commas, periods, capitals at the beginning of a senctence.It&#39;s ahme, AJC! 21:28, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Endermen aren't scary at all. They only harm you if you stare into your eyes. And Slenderman is some random made up thing. It all started by some random guy on a forum somewhere, and people used that to scare people. They put coats with sleeves touching the ground on athletes, and blur their face and make it white (my prediction). I was creeped out by Slender man at first, but here are the reasons why he ISN'T REAL- -Things can't teleport. -God wouldn't create a creature like this. -How would Slender Man find people? He's not supposed to have eyes XD -Slender Man couldn't walk off and find you again. He has no GPS, or phone, or anything to follow people. See? he's made up. You don't need to worry about it. I was scared when I first found out about him, but now I know he isn't real.

Amen bro!!! Dax 06:58, 14 November 2012 (UTC)Dax

Random flaw in that first point: Since God defined the laws of physics in the first place, there really isn't a reason why He could not have defined them in a way that such a thing could be possible. However, He did not, and that's what counts. In short, God wouldn't be incapable of creating something with abilities like Slenderman, but the laws of physics as currently defined would make the existence of such a being impossible. Cobalt32 21:41, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

I never was scared of the slenderman at ALL. I like making cartoons that make fun of him, for example, him getting his arms?/tentacles?/whatever stuck in an elevator door, my friend Ender (an enderman) eating an action figure of him, yada yada yada. Miraklemax 12:56, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Building on the top of the map
can endermen place blocks on the top of the map (maximum hight level)? 24.187.191.151 20:59, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Probably. If Enderman can place cacti on dirt, then they could place blocks on top of the map. Though it should be confirmed.Jimmyoakmeister 23:32, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

suppose I will be doing ender-tests (pun intended)also if endermen are able to put a cactus on dirt can they place it next to blocks like more cacti. also there is fan fiction on the wiki I am gonna remove that. see ya when the tests are done Kieranfishing 08:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Mushroom island?
They say that hostile mobs don't spawn on mushroom islands, so a lot of adventure maps change all the biome data to mushroom islands. then only mobs spawned from spawners and dispensers can be spawned, right? Well, I was playing and adventure map and found loads of endermen (and it was a mushroom island biome). Do they spawn naturally even in mushroom islands? or were they spawned by the map creator?

Maybe the map creator or the endermen teleported there. --User:JulleO o 00:14, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keyword *hostile*. Endermen are neutral. 83.14.232.226 10:59, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Endermen ganging up on players?
So I was playing the Minecraft demo on Easy one day, and I was walking along a beach at night killing monsters. Suddenly, I see an Enderman wandering around about 30-40 blocks away. I run up, accidently stare at it for too long, it gets pissed off and starts making the creepy 'stare sound', and after 15 minutes of trying, I finally manage to kill it. Suddenly, I get hit with something from behind and lose 5 and a half hearts. I turn around, and there's a second Enderman standing there, its mouth is open and it's evidently in hostile mode. It starts hitting me with the sand block it's carrying, so I kill it with my sword (which takes anther ten minutes).

Now. the only explanation I can think of is that the second Enderman must've spawned farther down the beach, and my attacking and killing the first one must've provoked it. Now, the article on Endermen on this wiki says that they're "neutral" mobs. Well, so are Zombie Pigmen. And I've seen in Let's play vids that when Zombie Pigmen are hanging out in groups and one of them is attacked by the player, the other Pigmen turn Hostile and start attacking the player. Is it the same wth Endermen?KentuckeyFriedCreeper 20:29, 13 January 2013 (UTC)KentuckyFriedCreeper
 * It was at night. Endermen are black. Endermen appear in pairs. The aggro distance is scary, like 40 blocks. There is no such thing as "stare at it too long", even sweeping your crosshair over it while turning around is enough. How sure are you that you didn't accidentally sweep your crosshair over a the other enderman during the combat with the first, without even noticing him? 83.14.232.226 10:49, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Endermen on Fire Test
I noticed that when Endermen are out in the open and catch on fire, they immediately teleport away. However, when in an enclosed space that they can fit in, they will stay for a while even while ignited before teleporting away. This buys the player time to kill the enderman if they want to dispatch Endermen with a sword that has a Fire Aspect enchantment on it to get their experience. However, if you are outside and the Enderman is near more air blocks, he immediately teleports away. This is from what I've seen.

I was in creative today and hit this enderman with an invisibility potion, and I was like "What the-?" because there were these two purple eyes floating 3 blocks off the ground and this block floating 1 block off the ground. Is this because the body and eyes are separate pictures? Miraklemax 14:03, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

 * I took a screenshot of that. Eyes.png


 * Endermen and their eyes are two separate textures. using a Splash Potion of Invisibility only affects the main texture. Meeples10 signature.png ᐸ Talk  Contribs  18:33, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Changed in 1.5?
Since updating to 1.5, Endermen seem to behave different, but I don't see any mention of them being changed in the release notes. They don't seem as aggressive, and now flee when hurt. I needed one more ender eye to fix the end portal, so I went on an enderman hunt. I saw one on a ledge of a ravine. There was no way to get to it, so I stared at him. He growled, then teleported away never to be seen again. A few minutes later I saw a couple in the distance, rather than go to them, I looked at one to get it to come to me. It growled, teleported closer, then teleported again, but I never saw it again. I decided to just go attack his friend, but after I hit it once, it teleported away and never came back. This went on for a couple of more Minecraft nights before I finally was able to kill one. --jimnms 22:46, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Endermen Like My Cats
As of 1.5, every time an Enderman is near my house, it teleports into my cat room and follows my cats around. I can stare at it all day and it won't do anything. Why do they do this??? Meeples10 16:26, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Funny eyes dance
You should try to throw a potion of invisibility on an Enderman and then throw a poison one. The eyes will go like up 'n' down, up 'n' down.

Just noticed
I just noticed that on the trivia section it said that you can't see water through Endermen's open mouths twice. Is that meant, or should someone fix it? Thanks! 70.181.68.226 04:04, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Endermen Won't Teleport If They Can't Teleport
Could/should it be added that when they hit water, Endermen won't try to teleport if there's no place nearby that they could go to? Instead they simply wade in the water and take damage until they die. Easy way to test this is to make a custom Superflat world with the Water World preset. Then make a line of dirt, etc. up to the surface, and start spawning Endermen and pushing them off. --98.114.239.108 21:52, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
