Endermen are three-block-high mobs that spawn fairly uncommonly in the Overworld at light levels of 7 or less, and they densely populate The End. Endermen are neutral, but they will turn hostile when provoked. They are known for their spooky presentation, their unique abilities to pick up blocks and teleport, their vulnerability to water, and the odd noises they make.

Endermen are the main source of Ender Pearls (the only other being stronghold chests), which are useful both in their own right and as a crafting ingredient for Eyes of Ender, which are necessary to reach The End.

Endermen can be provoked via an attack or by simply looking at them (placing the crosshairs on their upper bodies from up to 64 blocks away). When provoked, Endermen stand still, stare at the player with trembling, gaping mouths, and emit a long, loud, unsettling noise, before teleporting towards the player to attack.

Endermen frequently spawn in The End, their home world, but still require a light level of seven or less in order to spawn. They will also spawn in the Overworld, although about 5-10 times more rarely than other mobs like Zombies, Skeletons and Creepers. They spawn in pairs, and can be seen at night in groups of up to five. However, they will very often teleport away carelessly, so you will most likely see only one or two at a time.

Appearance

Endermen have long limbs, thin bodies, black skin, glowing purple eyes, and emit the signature purple Ender particle effect (like Ender Chests, Endermites, Nether Portals and Eyes of Ender). They are often seen holding blocks.

Behavior

Endermen always initially spawn in pairs, but will often appear individually or in larger groups due to random teleportation. Endermen make strange noises and will mostly teleport away when they take damage. They take damage from contact with water or rain, upon which they will immediately teleport in search of dry areas.[1] In rain they can be seen teleporting rapidly as they search for shelter, but can often die from rain damage. Taking damage from an attacking player will cause them to teleport behind the player and attempt an attack, unless the player is looking at the Enderman's legs, which will usually prevent teleportation.

Endermen don't attack unless provoked, although looking at their bodies or upper legs from up to 64 blocks away is considered provocation. Provoking an Enderman will cause the player to hear a lengthy, loud, threatening sound. When provoked, Endermen will open their mouths and shake with rage (this happens somewhat rarely on the xbox edition). Staring at their torso will stop them from moving, and you can approach and attack, at which point they will teleport behind you. If an aggravated Enderman is hit by another mob, for example, a Skeleton or the Ender Dragon, it will cease attacking the player.[2]

Endermen have a unique ability to pick up certain block types and move them around, which they generally spend their time doing while neutral. They can also step up one full block without having to jump.

Endermen will continue chasing a player until they are either killed, sustain several hits, or become distracted by exterior elements like rain, fire, or sun; Endermen are likely to teleport away to underground locations at day break.

In Creative mode, Endermen will not get provoked if you look at them, but they will still become hostile if hit.

Endermen can't be provoked by players looking through transparent blocks like glass/glass panes, from within a boat or minecart, or wearing a pumpkin on their head.

Teleportation

Endermen always attempt to teleport when attacked or taking other damage, such as from water. Most ordinary melee attacks are successful (such as with a sword), but are followed by an immediate teleport, generally to a point a few blocks behind the attacking player. Endermen cannot be attacked with projectile weapons in the PC version, as they will always teleport away just before being hit (in the Xbox 360 version, it is possible to hit an Enderman with a projectile by arcing a shot onto the Enderman without placing the crosshairs on them directly). They also cannot be attacked with Splash Potions, as they will similarly teleport away before the potion impacts any nearby surface.

When teleporting, Endermen search for an air block within 32m (along each axis); if there is a solid block below that air block, they can teleport to it regardless of the downward distance. An Enderman can teleport onto nearly any solid block, exceptions being blocks directly beneath water or lava or blocks with less than 3 vertical spaces above. Enderman will not teleport into water or lava.

An Enderman cannot teleport when it is in a minecart, though in rain and water it will attempt to do so, although it will always teleport back into the minecart repeatedly until death.

In Creative mode, if an Enderman gets stuck in a 1x1 hole 3 blocks deep, and is aggressive, it will not be able to teleport out.

Endermen will not teleport in the daytime while on soul sand unless they are damaged.

As of Snapshot 14w11a, when an Enderman teleports away there is a 5% chance that an Endermite may appear in its place. Endermen are hostile towards Endermites, which are often killed by the Enderman that spawned it.

Moving blocks

Endermen will only pick up and move certain blocks, regardless of whether they were natural or placed by the player. They will pick up blocks horizontally and vertically nearby, within 3 layers

Endermen will not drop the block they are holding when enraged or slain. It will simply disappear.

Endermen can only pick up the following blocks:[3]

Endermen cannot pick up entities, such as boats, minecarts, primed TNT, and mobs.

Enderman can create iron or snow golems due to their ability to pick up and place pumpkins anywhere they want (on top of an l shaped snow block formation or T shaped iron block formation.

Because Endermen possess the ability to move blocks, they can cause damage to the natural environment and in some cases player-built structures. They can also allow fenced animals to jump out by placing blocks adjacent to fences. Their block handling is not purposeful, but they may randomly breach walls and the like.

In the Overworld, signs of Enderman activity will become apparent in frequently loaded chunks in the form of misplaced blocks. In desert areas, Endermen may also propagate cacti by removing blocks and placing them on fresh sand, gradually increasing the population of cacti in frequently loaded deserts.

Endermen do not spawn in well-lit areas, but they may wander or teleport into lit areas from adjacent dark ones, particularly if rain or water causes them to teleport. It can be risky to stay awake at night, as an Enderman can teleport into your house. This is more apparent in large buildings, where rain may cause the building to be invaded by multiple Endermen seeking shelter. Therefore, lighting your structures with torches is not a guaranteed defense. However, they will not teleport into areas where they won't fit, so two-block high ceilings will keep them out.

Strategy

Endermen are considered one of the most dangerous mobs in the game to fight. While initially neutral, they are easily provoked. They have more health (40 hit points) than any hostile mob except the Iron Golem (which has 100), and cause deadly amounts of damage (half the players health from full health in hard/hardcore difficulty). On top of that, they use their teleportation in combat—they often teleport behind the player to attack, or teleport out of sight only to reappear later for a surprise attack.

That said, they do have a few weaknesses that can be exploited: They take damage from water and rain on top of most of the usual sources, sunlight can turn them neutral (as does water or fire damage), and their height lets the player retreat to, or attack them from, a 2 block high shelter. Also, while their block-moving ability can be annoying, they don't use it purposefully: If they breach your defenses, it's by accident, and you need to strengthen your defenses.

Avoiding attack

There are only three ways to provoke an Enderman:

  • Actually hit it, which is usually easy to avoid. Using potions against them, or pushing them off a cliff or into a trap, will not provoke them.
  • Set off TNT with a flint and steel or flame bow. Setting it off with Dispensers or Redstone power won't provoke them.
  • Look at its face/upper body with the crosshairs. Looking at them through transparent blocks such as glass or fences will not provoke them, so a windowed watchtower is safe. As well, a player wearing a pumpkin as a helmet can look at them safely, without provoking them. This can be very useful in The End. However, once provoked, a pumpkin will not prevent them from attacking, nor will the pumpkin help as armor. The pumpkin can be a disadvantage because it is hard to see through and other mobs can kill you easily.

As Endermen are 3 blocks tall, the player can keep his or her house's interior 2-2.5 blocks tall to prevent Endermen from teleporting into it. Due partly to their size, Endermen are usually only encountered in relatively open spaces. Although they will still spawn, you're much more likely to see other mobs in cramped caves underground, before you see any Endermen. When exploring caves, a player can often spot an Enderman in the darkness by its glowing eyes. A player can use this warning to avoid accidentally staring at them. In a cave, you can often retreat into a 2 block high area, or even build a small ceiling as shelter as soon as one is spotted.

Also, if the player is in a body of water, no closer than 2-3 blocks away from dry land, and at least one block deep, and provokes an Enderman, it will become aggressive, but rather than charge and attack when the player moves the crosshairs away, it will stand in one spot for at least 30 seconds, then either teleport into the water, take damage, and teleport away, or continue to stand in one spot. Also, if the player continuously stares at the Enderman for at least 30 seconds, it may teleport away, or try to attack, and then teleport away upon coming in contact with water. After at least 90–120 seconds, if the Enderman has not tried to attack or teleport away, it will turn neutral again.

If provoked under sunlight, Endermen will usually teleport away rather than attack the player. In any case, they will immediately become neutral. In rain, they will teleport randomly and rapidly, and even if provoked, they will not stay hostile.

Defense

If a player has accidentally provoked an Enderman, they have several options for turning them neutral and cutting off the fight:

  • Endermen will become neutral and teleport away once they take damage from water, lava, fire, or any other environmental source (except fall damage). This makes a bucket of water/lava (or a Dispenser with a Bucket) very useful for chasing off an accidentally provoked Enderman, or for clearing out crowds in The End. Likewise, if the player retreats into water (beyond their attack range of 3-4 blocks), they will generally try to follow but then take damage from the water, turn neutral and teleport away. Similarly, Flint and Steel can put fire in their way, and they are likely to walk into the fire.
  • Enchanted weapons can be useful: Hitting them with a Fire Aspect sword, or otherwise setting them on fire will also cause them to turn neutral and teleport rapidly. Using a Knockback sword to knock them into water or off a steep drop will effectively get rid of them.
  • Luring them into sunlight or rain will likewise turn them neutral and make them go away. (If already provoked, you may need to attack or "look" at them in the sun.)
  • When Endermen take damage from a Creeper explosion when following you, right after the blast they have a chance of teleporting away and back again, teleporting away and getting neutral, just getting neutral or still continuing to follow you.
  • When you encounter Endermen in the desert, you can try hiding behind a cactus, or build some around you (try not to get hurt by them yourself). Unfortunately, they may teleport behind you instead of running into the cactus, or they may even pick the cactus up.
  • If you're planning on using a trap for them, make a 3 deep hole with 1 extra block on top (not over the hole!), then make a 2 high way out, make a way back up and suffocate them with sand or gravel by placing it on the 1 extra block on top.

Combat

The most basic way to engage one or more enderman is to place a water source block, stand in the source block, similar to standing in a one block pool, then look at the enderman. Once the enderman has turned hostile simply wait for it to take a decent amount of damage, depending on the difficulty level you play on, and then move in for the kill to prevent it from teleporting on death. Note that it is best to stay in the water up until you go to kill it, move away from any mobs and let it teleport to you then kill it. Also remember skeletons will knock you out of the source block and quickly ruin your chances of surviving the encounter, as zombies will typically amass around the waters edge, as the zombies are too slow to move through the flowing water you will be safe from them and creepers.

Hostile Endermen will often teleport away after a player hits them, though they may attack first. Similarly, Endermen may teleport away several seconds after attacking. Above or below ground, be very wary if they teleport away in the middle of a fight, as they may well teleport behind you (and attack) as soon as you emerge from your shelter. In open areas or under high ceilings, they may also teleport onto the roof. Endermen teleportation can be tracked by looking for the glowing particle trail they leave behind, or by listening for their snarls and screeches.

Their melee attacks hit hard enough that you want to avoid being hit by them as much as possible. Naturally, you'll want good armor and sword, preferably iron or better. For armor enchantments, only Protection and Thorns will be useful. For the sword, Sharpness and Knockback are both useful. However, Fire Aspect is useless for hunting them, as they will turn neutral and flee at the first strike. A flint and steel is difficult to use effectively, but still rather useful, as the flame can damage them before they are provoked.

Another way to kill them is to use wolves. Since wolves cause 4 hearts of damage, it will take 5 hits to finish them off. If one has enough wolves (+4), they can kill it very quickly (in under 10 seconds). Also, Endermen will not teleport when attacked by wolves (although this may be because wolves attack the Enderman's legs). However, they will usually damage the wolves 3 or 4 times before dying. However if a lot of wolves attack one Enderman from one direction, the damaged wolves will be flung back behind the others, allowing the damage to be "shared" among the pack.

In general, focus on hitting their legs, as they will not teleport when their legs are attacked. Try to time your attacks so that the Enderman is continually knocked back, so that it will not be able to hit you. This will usually kill them fairly quickly.

You can perform preemptive strikes against Endermen by keeping your crosshair over them, which will cause them to stay still for several seconds, or until the Enderman is hit, whichever comes first. A player can also get in the first hit by looking only at the Enderman's legs until they attack - though once hit, the Enderman will become aggressive as normal.

Fishing lures will hit an Enderman and snag them on the end of the line. However, the Enderman teleports away when the lure hits them (possibly behind a wall or into caves), so this is only sometimes useful as a tool for killing them. If do you manage to pull it forward, it will travel a remarkable distance.

If you are near a high drop, it is possible to kill Endermen by pushing them off the edge of a cliff. With care, this can be done without even provoking them. Note that Endermen cannot teleport while falling, so it may be possible to kill them with repeated attacks that knock them down the slope.

Endermen also cannot teleport when riding a minecart, even hitting them with an arrow will not cause the Enderman to teleport away (Though they will flash red and disappear for a second, as if trying to teleport unsuccessfully.) This is one potential way to kill them at a distance.[4]

Players with brewing capability can also use splash potions of poison against them. A level II potion, or two level I potions (waiting for the first to finish before using the second) can reduce them to 1 health, or nearly so. Then they can easily be killed with a single sword blow. Make sure to carry a milk bucket to cure self-inflicted poison, and be wary that it may take two hits to kill them if the potion(s) struck too far away (reducing their effect).

History

b
?At first, when Notch was still designing the Endermen, he thought they were not 'creepy' enough, coming with the idea that having a situation which the player would want to avoid could make the Enderman significantly more scary. This gave Notch the idea to implement the staring feature, where aiming the crosshair at the Enderman's face would cause a suspenseful moment in which breaking eye contact would trigger an attack, as well as the Enderman having the ability to teleport so that when the player has stared at the Enderman, he or she would have to face a consequence for that action.[5]
According to Burnie Burns of Rooster Teeth Productions, the Endermen's weakness to water was suggested by Burnie's son when Notch mentioned that he needed to come up with a way to kill a group of Endermen.[6]
?In the Beta 1.8 demo at PAX, Endermen dropped diamonds as a placeholder for Ender Pearls.

=== Mob loot ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Iron golem farming}}
[[Iron golem]]s drop 3-5 iron ingots upon death, regardless of the way they die. The looting enchantment does not increase the amount of iron ingots dropped.

[[Zombie]]s, [[husk]]s, and [[zombie villager]]s have a 2.5% ({{frac|1|40}}) chance of dropping either an iron ingot, [[carrot]], or [[potato]] when killed by a player or tamed wolf. This is increased by 1% ({{frac|1|100}}) per level of looting. This gives iron ingots the following chances of dropping:
* {{frac|1|120}} (about 0.83%)
* {{frac|7|600}} (about 1.17%) with Looting I
* {{frac|9|600}} (1.50%) with Looting II
* {{frac|11|600}} (about 1.83%) with Looting III

==== Skeletons and Strays ====

[[Skeleton]]s and [[stray]]s have an 8.5% chance of dropping a normal or enchanted bow on death when killed by a [[player]] or a tamed [[wolf]]. 

The chance of dropping a bow is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], allowing up to an 11.5% chance of dropping. 

The chance of being enchanted depends on the [[difficulty]], whether it is normal or hard. The enchantment level is equal to enchant level 5-22. 

Bows of [[skeleton trap]]s are always enchanted at level 5 to 23. The exact level depends on [[regional difficulty]], as on Easy it is always a level-5 enchantment.

==== Illusioners ====
{{exclusive|java|section=1}}

[[Illusioner]]s have an 8.5% chance of dropping an unenchanted bow when killed by the player. The chance of dropping a bow is increased by 1% per level of Looting, allowing up to an 11.5% chance of dropping. 

=== Trading ===

Apprentice-level fletcher [[villager]]s sell bows for 2 [[emerald]]s as part of their [[trading|trade]]s.

Expert-level fletcher villagers sell enchanted bows for 7–21 emeralds as part of their trades. The enchantment level is equal to enchant level 5–19.

=== Fishing ===

Bows have a chance of being caught by [[fishing]]. When caught, the bow may be damaged and contain random [[enchantment]]s equivalent to a level 30 enchantment from an [[enchanting table]], including treasure enchantments like [[Mending]].

== Usage ==

=== Weapon ===
[[File:Steve aiming with Bow.png|150px|right]]
[[File:Alex aiming with Bow.png|150px|right]]

Bows can be drawn back by {{control|using}} them. In order to use a bow, the player must have at least one [[arrow]] in their [[inventory]] or be in [[Creative]] mode. The arrow that is shown inside the bow always looks like a regular arrow, regardless of what kind of arrow is actually being shot from the bow.<ref>{{bug|MC-87685||Drawn bow texture does not reflect arrow that will be shot|WF}}</ref>

When drawing a bow, the display zooms in slightly. Charging the bow to its maximum causes it to visually shake as an indicator. Releasing the button shoots an [[arrow]]. Drawing a bow can be canceled by switching to another hotbar slot while holding use.

While the bow is being charged or remains fully charged, the player is forced to move at [[sneaking]] speed, unless they are riding a [[horse]], [[minecart]] or [[boat]], or flying with [[elytra]]. It is not possible to [[Sprinting|sprint]] while charging a bow or holding a drawn bow. When the bow is released, normal motion resumes although any prior sprint is cancelled. Sneaking while drawing the bow makes the player move even slower.

If an arrow hits another player, the player that shoots the arrow hears a high-pitched "ding" sound.{{only|je}}

Fully charged shots launch critical arrows which have a trail of [[particles]] behind them and deal up to <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math>damage, where <math>x</math>is the damage after any enchantments. The listed values below describe maximum damage from a bow with no [[Power]] enchantments, assuming the target is at a distance where drag and gravity are negligible. However, the critical damage is likely to be more around 8-10; critical damage is added at a random value between <math>x</math>and <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math> and it is rare to have minimum or maximum values. The damage dealt can ultimately be less than the maximum damage if the arrow slows down after being shot. 

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Shot base damage by changing time"
|-
! Charging time
! Maximum attack damage
|-
|{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''0.1 s'''}} (no charge)

|-
|{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''0.2–0.9 s'''}} (medium charge)

|{{hp|6}}
|-
|{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''1+ s'''}} (critical)
|{{hp|11}}
|-
|}

The game stores the damage of arrows even in values with a decimal point. For example, it is possible for a critical arrow shot to cause damage values such as 6.4. In this cases of a broken value, the game can round up or down and store the amount for subsequent damage sources.

Any projectile thrown by the player is under the influence of momentum in current versions of ''Minecraft''. Naturally, the player's movement speed can be modified under a number of circumstances, affecting the ballistic trajectory of projectiles, and as a result, the damage inflicted by arrows.

In [[Java Edition Combat Tests]], to avoid sniping, arrows shot from fully-charged bows become non-critical if held drawn back for longer than three seconds. Instantaneous effects on tipped arrows are scaled by 1/8, just like the duration of other effects. For example, Instant Damage I arrow will deal an additional {{hp|0.75}} magical damage.

Damage caused by the arrow is not affected by the [[Strength]] effect.

[[Endermen]] cannot be shot using an arrow, because the arrow either disappears as the enderman teleports, or it gets deflected. Even while immobile, the enderman is immune to damage from arrows. However, an arrow shot from a bow enchanted with [[Flame]] can ignite the enderman.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage|Bow, Damaged Bow}}

=== Enchantments ===

Bows can receive several different [[enchantment]]s and have a base enchantability of 1. Bow enchantments have no effect on [[arrow]] speed or the distance it travels. In [[Bedrock Edition]], if a bow is enchanted with any level 1 enchantment, it always gets Power I.{{verify|This used to be in the trivia section. Not valid in Java Edition.}}

{{Reflist|group=n}}

=== Fuel ===

A bow can be used as [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per bow {{in|java}} or 1 item per bow {{in|bedrock}}.

== Arrows ==

{{main|Arrow}}

As in real life, a flying [[arrow]] in ''Minecraft'' is affected by gravity. Its vertical speed is modified by one block downward every second, resulting in a {{w|Parabola|parabolic}} flight path. An arrow slows down if shot through water, reducing its damage to near zero unless brought back into the air or otherwise given momentum.{{Only|Java}}

Arrows that hit solid [[blocks]] become stuck and can be retrieved, unless the arrow was shot by a bow [[enchant]]ed with [[Infinity]], a player in Creative mode, or a mob.

An arrow shot through [[lava]] ignites, giving it the effect of the [[Flame]] enchantment, igniting any entity it hits. If not extinguished, the fire inflicts up to {{hp|4}} damage. Although a [[wither skeleton]] does not spawn naturally with bows, if it holds a bow then it also shoots flaming arrows.

On impact, an arrow can trigger a wooden [[pressure plate]], [[target]] block, [[wooden button]], or [[tripwire]]. Arrows cannot trigger stone pressure plates or stone buttons.

The player can choose the type of arrow to shoot based on its location in the inventory. Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected hotbar slot if the bow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first. If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot then the arrow closest to [[Inventory#Slots|slot 0]] is selected.

{{History||June 14, 2009|link=https://notch.tumblr.com/post/123343045/my-vision-for-survival|[[Notch]] discussed how bows and [[arrow]]s would work in [[Survival]] mode: "Bows and arrows can be made out of wood. To use it, select the bow from your inventory and make sure you’ve got some arrows. Click in front of you, and an arrow goes flying using real physics. To actually HIT something, aim above it."}}
{{History||0.24 SURVIVAL TEST|The [[player]] did not need a bow to shoot arrows. Instead, {{Key|Tab}} was used to fire arrows. However, arrows still had to be collected to shoot. Launching arrows this way was much slower than the bow that now fires them.}}

They travel approximately 15 [[block]]s when fired parallel to a flat plane. Arrows also have a maximum range of around 52 blocks when fired at a 38 degree angle on a flat plane.
|Bows often fail to interact with objects, but instead shoot. This is due to the fact that shooting arrows is an instantaneous action.

'''Elytra''' ({{Audio|ElytraPronunciation.mp3|/ˈɛl ɪ trə/|link2=''ᴇʟ-i-trə''}}<ref>“Elytron.” ''Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary'', Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elytron. Accessed 22 May. 2022.</ref>)<!--"Elytra" is the plural of "elytron," a single half of a beetle's protective wing covers. Verbs should agree accordingly (e.g. "Elytra allow flight"). https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elytron--> are rare wings found in [[end ship]]s that are a source of flight in [[Survival]] mode.

== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Elytra are found only in [[end city|end cities]] in [[item frame|item frames]] in the treasure room of the [[end ship]]. A [[shulker]] guards the elytra and the ship's two loot chests.

=== Repairing ===

Elytra can be enchanted with [[Mending]] so that they get [[Item repair|repaired]] as the player collects [[experience]] orbs while wearing/holding them.

Elytra can also be repaired in the player crafting grid, by combining two damaged pairs of elytra together. 

{{crafting

|showdescription=1
|ignoreusage=1
|Damaged Elytra
|Damaged Elytra
|Output= Elytra
|description= The durability of the two pairs is added together, plus an extra 5% durability, but removes any enchantments.
|type= Transportation
}}

Similarly, two damaged elytra pairs can be combined on a [[grindstone]].

{{Grinding

|ingredients=2x Damaged [[Elytra]]
|Damaged Elytra
|Damaged Elytra
|Elytra
|description=The durability of the two pairs is added together, plus an extra 5% durability, but removes any enchantments.
}}

Elytra can also be repaired at an anvil using [[phantom membrane]]s, which has the advantage that it preserves [[enchantments]] on elytra. Each phantom membrane restores 108 durability points, exactly 25% of the elytra's total durability.

|-
|}
Each repair on the anvil, however, also increases the [[Anvil mechanics|prior work]] penalty for the Elytra, making every subsequent repair increasingly expensive and eventually reaching an upper limit where repairs are no longer allowed because they are "too expensive" (even if the player has many xp levels to spare). However, the prior work penalty can be reset to 0 for an enchanted elytra pair when it is disenchanted on a grindstone. Unenchanted elytra cannot be used on the grindstone alone.

== Usage ==
[[File:Steve in elytra.png|75px]] [[File:Alex in elytra.png|75px]]

Elytra are equipped in the [[chestplate]] slot, either by placing the item directly in the slot, by pressing {{ctrl|use item}} while [[hotbar|held in hand]], or by firing a point-blank [[dispenser]] at a target. They are gray in color by default, but they adopt the design of any [[cape]] the player is wearing. They maintain their in-world texture design even when they're [[#Repair|broken]] or [[enchanted]].

=== Flying ===
To fly, the player must press the {{ctrl|jump}} key while falling, and the elytra spread apart like a beetle's elytra. The player can aim their view around to turn or adjust their pitch. Losing altitude increases speed, and gaining altitude decreases speed. [[Firework rocket]]s can be used to increase speed. Additionally, speed is quickly lost from sharp changes in direction.

Directly hitting any surface while gliding too fast causes damage to the player and their armor proportional to flight speed (although this may be calculated from another factor). When a player dies in this way, they receive the [[death messages|death message]] "'''<player> experienced kinetic energy'''". The player does not take [[fall damage]] from colliding at a shallow angle or a low enough speed. The critical, damaging angle is about 50° with the collision surface, and the calculation for damage seems to be as if the player had fallen from their maximum potential glide height to the height of the struck surface. 

A safe and simple cruise with the highest travel distance can be achieved by aiming directly at the horizon while at the glide's altitude limit. The player's speed is slow enough to allow them time to do other things during a long flight, like sort out their inventory.

In [[Creative]] mode or when the "mayfly" [[ability]] has been given, the player can alternatively hold the {{ctrl|jump}} key to fly up,{{only|bedrock}} or double press the jump key to move around freely. 

Flight can be stopped by pressing the [[jump]] key.{{only|bedrock}} 

==== Speed and altitude ====
Elytra have a minimum speed of about 7.2 m/s (obtained by gliding at the altitude cap with a strong upward pitch of 30°). If the diver drops to 0 speed, they quickly get accelerated back up to at least this minimum. The diver can increase speed by choosing to descend faster, but afterward, they do not regain nearly as much altitude. In the real world, drag increases with speed, and drag, in turn, slows the aircraft; Minecraft mimics this. To glide from cliff to cliff, a player's best bet is to aim slightly above the horizon.

Sharp turns are a fast way to lose speed. Quicker turns cause greater losses, while gentle movements have small effects. Making a hairpin turn can actually be used for making high-speed landings safe as well as for precise landings on small targets like rooftops. The player aims to glide just above the target, then as they're right over it they immediately reverse directions, then they make readjustments as necessary.

The lowest rate of altitude loss is about 1.5 m/sec, obtained by gliding at the altitude cap with a slight upward pitch (12° or 15°).

To get the best possible glide ratio (and thus the furthest distance out of their altitude), the diver pilot should aim directly at the horizon. This ratio is about 9.47 to 1.

[[Slow Falling]] potions greatly decrease the player's vertical (fall) speed, which also greatly decreases their ''horizontal'' speed (clearly, it depends on the vertical fall rate, as one might expect from flight modeling). The net result is that the player flies extremely slowly - but their Elytra still takes durability damage at the usual rate (1 durability per second without Unbreaking, etc.). Due to this combination, Elytra plus Slow Falling is largely a novelty that most players won't use. The [[Feather Falling]] enchantment does not affect Elytra speed and does not reduce fall damage from hitting things with elytra.

It is possible to calculate the glide range by dividing the altitude by tan of the glide angle (altitude/tan(glide angle)). For example, if the player glides from an altitude of 64 blocks above ground with a glide angle of 15 degrees, they can glide for 237 blocks (assume that they are on superflat), since floor(64 / tan(15)) is 237.

==== Stalling ====
Trying for too high a pitch reduces the player's lift. At a pitch of 30° above the horizon, the player has the lowest possible airspeed of 7.2 m/sec. Above that, the player might be considered to be in a stall. Increasing the pitch gets closer to a free-fall, and stalled flight at 60° is enough to cause fall damage. Stalling at 90° is a true free-fall.

Recovering from a stall is done by readjusting to any safe pitch as quickly as the player likes. This can be just changing to look at the horizon.

==== Powered flight ====
{{fakeImage|{{invSprite|Firework Rocket}}|Firework rockets are used for speed boosts while gliding.}}

[[Firework rocket]]s can be used for propulsion during flight by placing it in either hand and {{ctrl|using}}. Using a firework rocket while gliding quickly maximizes the player's speed for a time similar to the rocket's flight duration.

If the rocket is equipped with [[firework star]]s, it explodes at the end of its flight, inflicting damage based on the number of stars.

It is possible to gain altitude during powered flight. This makes it possible to glide for extreme distances and had been used extensively by [[far lands]]/[[World Border]] challenges.

=== Durability and Repair ===
{{fakeImage|{{invSprite|Broken Elytra}}|A broken pair of elytra.}}

[[Durability]] decreases by one point each second when gliding. A pair of elytra has 432 durability, allowing 7 minutes and 12 seconds of gliding time without enchantments, providing more than 10,000 blocks of transport distance. It is possible to apply the [[Unbreaking]] enchantment using an [[anvil]] and an [[enchanted book]], which affects the elytra, in the same way it does to [[tool]]s. Unbreaking III increases elytra's flight time to about four seconds per durability point, a total of 28 minutes and 44 seconds.

When the durability reaches 1, elytra stop working until they are repaired, adopting a tattered texture in the inventory. The damage ends at durability 1, so they can never fully break. A pair may be repaired by either using the [[Mending]] enchantment, combining two pairs in a [[grindstone]], or combining it in an anvil with [[phantom membrane]]s. In an anvil, each piece of membrane repairs elytra by 108 durability points, requiring 4 pieces to fully repair them.

Each repair on the anvil will also increase the [[Anvil mechanics|prior work]] penalty for the Elytra, making every subsequent repair increasingly expensive, with an upper limit where repairs are no longer allowed because they are "too expensive". However, the prior work penalty can be reset to 0 for an enchanted elytra pair when it is disenchanted on a grindstone (by adding nothing to it). Unenchanted elytra cannot be used on the grindstone alone.

=== Enchantments ===
Elytra can receive the following [[enchantments]] by combining in an anvil:

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* The singular form of elytra is an {{w|elytron}}.
* In reality, elytra are not used for flight. They are the tough forewings of beetles and earwigs that cover the wings they actually use for flight. However, like ''Minecraft'' elytra, in beetles they can be used for gliding.
* A flying player has a shorter hitbox than usual: A 0.6 block cube centered on the player's feet.
* It is possible to glide while on a [[ladder]], by pressing {{key|shift}} followed by {{key|space}}, causing the player to fall with a speed determined by the player's visual angle. This means that the player can descend fast on a ladder, but if the speed is too fast when hitting the ground, they can take fatal fall damage. Using a [[firework rocket]] can also speed up the player's descent. 
* {{IN|java}} if the player glides into deep [[water]] with elytra equipped, the animation does not stop, giving it the appearance of a [[swimming]] animation.<ref name="MC-97190">{{bug|MC-97190||While gliding into water or lava, player continues gliding|WAI}}</ref> The animation stops once the player touches the ground. Additionally, [[firework rocket]]s can be used with elytra underwater with a short boost duration.
* Elytra do not deactivate when the player flies into [[lava]].<ref name="MC-97190"/>
* Elytra can be equipped onto some [[mob]]s using [[command]]s. This has no effect unless the mob has the {{cd|FallFlying}} tag set to {{cd|1b}}. Mobs glide forward, unable to control the movement before landing, at which time they regain their AI. 
** Exceptions to this are [[squid]]s as the squid's AI causes it to attempt swimming in midair, making it fall straight down because it conflicts with the elytra mechanics.
**Because [[chicken]]s fall slowly, they can move more distance.
** [[Enderman|Endermen]], tamed [[wolf|wolves]] and tamed [[cat]]s that are not sitting cannot teleport until they hit the ground.
** Because mobs do not regain control until they hit the ground, [[vex]]es fall until they die or despawn as they cannot touch the ground. 
** Mobs capable of flying, such as [[parrot]]s or vexes can steer in air, though they cannot travel up or down. Dolphins also have this ability.
* [[4J Studios]] created an elytron-centered tutorial map for console edition when elytra were first introduced to this platform, this map is themed as "ruins of an ancient civilization of ''[[Minecraft]]'' worshipers" and showcases the new amplified terrain generation. This map can be seen behind the scenes.<ref>{{Mcnet|learning-fly|Learning To Fly}}</ref> On 28 March 2017, 4J Studios added an elytron-themed [[Mini Games]] for console edition called "Glide;" it consists of Time Attack and Score Attack mode.<ref>{{Mcnet|glide-mini-game-consoles-tomorrow|Glide Mini Game on Consoles Tomorrow|March 23, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Mcnet|mini-game-masters-glide-console|Mini Game Masters Glide onto Console|March 28, 2017}}</ref>
* A player who jumps with both elytra and the [[Slow Falling]] effect travels slightly upward, which is a cheap but time-consuming alternative to [[fireworks]] and [[Riptide]]-enchanted [[trident]]s.
* On May 5, 2019, [[Mojang]] tweeted '[[The End]] never yields enough adequate resources, sadly,' along with a sad emoji.<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|1125053038757068802|The End never yields enough adequate resources, sadly. 😔}}</ref> The first letter of each word spells 'T E n y e a r s' (Ten Years). Attached was a picture of [[player|Steve and Alex]] wearing both a [[chestplate]] and elytra. The next day, they tweeted, "Have you noticed something ''suspic10us'' here lately?"<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|1125415169495064576|Have you noticed something suspic10us here lately?}}</ref>
* Mojang has considered the suggestion of combining elytra with a chestplate, but eventually decided against it, stating that elytra taking up armor is an intentional decision of game balancing.<ref>

'''Paintings''' are decorative [[entity|entities]] that hang on walls.

== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|A1= Stick |B1= Stick    |C1= Stick
|A2= Stick |B2= Any Wool |C2= Stick
|A3= Stick |B3= Stick    |C3= Stick
|Output= Painting
|type= Decoration block
}}

Paintings can be crafted with any color of [[wool]]. The color of the wool used does not influence the picture chosen when the painting is placed.
Once placed, it displays a random painting.

=== Breaking ===
To remove a painting from a wall, the player can {{control|attack}} it, break one of its supporting blocks, cover one square of it with a block, hit it with an arrow, egg, ender pearl, snowball, or fire charge, or subject it to an explosion. The painting then drops as an item. Arrows that hit paintings disappear.

=== Trading ===
Master-level shepherd [[villager]]s sell 3 paintings for 2 [[emerald]]s.

== Usage ==
=== Placement ===
Paintings can be placed on the sides of [[solid block]]s, [[sign]]s, [[banner]]s, or [[sculk vein]]s . A small gap is visible between the painting and attachment surface. There are several different sizes of paintings (see below). When placed, a painting checks for the largest amount of space it has. It then chooses a random painting of that size. The player can add blocks around the painting to ensure it is the size wanted. When the supporting blocks are removed, the painting breaks after 20 game [[tick]]s (1 second) if no supporting blocks are replaced during that interval.

=== Properties ===
Being an entity, paintings can simultaneously exist in the same space as blocks such as water or torches. Specifically, they can share the space with any block whose collision box does not intersect its hitbox.

Players and mobs are able to walk through paintings, as long as the blocks supporting the painting allow it. Secret doorways can be created this way. [[Light]] propagates through paintings as well.

If a player is concealed behind a painting, the player's name is also concealed from other players.{{verify|Is this true in Bedrock?}}

Paintings are non-flammable.

== Canvases ==
There are 26 paintings in the game. These are mostly based on paintings by [[Kristoffer Zetterstrand]], who also created the ''Minecraft'' versions.

=== Unused paintings ===
In [[Pocket Edition v0.5.0 alpha|v0.5.0 alpha]], with the addition of paintings to Pocket Edition, four unused 32×32 paintings were present in <samp>[[kz.png]]</samp> which remained unused. See {{slink|Bedrock Edition unused features|Paintings}} for more information. They were also added to Java Edition in snapshot [[Java Edition 22w16a|22w16a]]. They cannot be placed by default, but can be summoned by [[commands]] (such as {{cmd|/summon painting ~ ~ ~ {variant:"water"} }}) or through a [[datapack]].

According to [[Helen Zbihlyj]],<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/u8hpnx/thoughts_on_the_new_paintings/i5olue6/?context=3 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20220422115723/https://old.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/u8hpnx/thoughts_on_the_new_paintings/i5olue6/?context=3 archived])</ref> these paintings were originally added "as part of a Pocket Edition promo map" (no footage found) which was planned to be a part of [[Pocket Edition]] promotion at [[MINECON 2012]] [[MINECON 2013|or 2013]] and have never been used in game. The artist of these paintings remains unknown.

* The texture on the back of a painting is the same as the wooden planks texture, but with a yellowish color similar to that of [[chests]] (but slightly darker).
* The "Skull on Fire" painting contains a Minecraft world in the background, which is based on a screenshot taken by the artist in [[Java Edition Alpha v1.1.2 01|Alpha 1.1.2_01]] (or earlier) on October 12, 2010, at 13:22:49 (UTC+2).<ref>{{cite|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220928041338/https://imgur.com/HVhrbnH|title=The original (never publicly shared before) screenshot that Kristoffer Zetterstrand took and based his painting on.|website=Imgur}}</ref>

* The "Skull on Fire" painting's texture was added in [[Java Edition Beta 1.3|Beta 1.3]]. However, the code for paintings to randomly display the part of the [[Kz.png]] texture that was to be occupied by the Burning Skull painting was added earlier, in [[Java Edition Beta 1.2_01|Beta 1.2_01]]. As there was nothing on this part of the texture except for a purple background grid, this is what would be displayed if the painting was randomly chosen, until the Burning Skull painting texture was actually added.

'''Water''' is a [[fluid]] that naturally generates abundantly in the [[Overworld]].

== Obtaining ==
Water blocks do not exist as items,{{only|java}} but water can be collected by using a [[bucket]] on a water source block or a full water [[cauldron]], creating a [[water bucket]].

{{IN|BE}}, it may be obtained as an item via inventory editing or add-ons.

=== Natural generation ===
Water naturally generates in the [[Overworld]] to form [[ocean]]s, [[river]]s and [[spring]]s. The water level is at [[altitude|layer 63]] near oceans and rivers, but changes depending on location due to the [[aquifer]] system, filling some carvers, noise caves and canyons with water at different levels. Water also generates as small puddles on the floor next to [[dripstone cluster]]s, and as clay pools on the floor of [[lush caves]].

Water also generates in [[village]]s, [[desert well]]s, [[stronghold]]s, [[woodland mansion]]s, [[ancient city|ancient cities]] and [[ocean monument]]s. 

Water never generates in [[the Nether]] and instantly disappears if placed there with a water bucket. However, water can exist in the Nether in a [[cauldron]]. Water can also be placed in the Nether using [[commands]] such as {{cmd|setblock}} and {{cmd|fill}}. Although it does not naturally generate there, water can be placed and function normally in [[the End]].

{{IN|be}}, water also generates as part of [[ocean ruins]] with loot [[chest]]s, but only two water blocks generate: 
* One water block generates inside the loot chest, making it a [[Waterlogging|waterlogged]] loot chest.
* The other water block generates on top of the loot chest.
These water blocks generate even if the ruin is located on the surface.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-36793}}</ref> This is not the case in {{el|je}}; if an underwater ruin generates on the surface, no water generates.<ref>{{bug|MC-136156}}</ref> This also happens with [[shipwreck]]s.

Water spends most of its time as stationary, rather than flowing – regardless of its level, or whether it contains a current downward or to the side. When specifically triggered by a block update, water changes to 'flowing', updates its level, then changes back to stationary. Water springs are generated as flowing, and oceans, and rivers are generated as stationary. This happens before most types of generated structure are created, and the main cause of water "glitches" is that generated structures do not trigger a block update to let water flow into them.

== Usage ==
=== Appearance ===
Water uses a translucent animated texture that is tinted differently in different biomes. {{IN|Java}}, water in cauldrons is completely opaque.<ref>{{bug|MC-13187}}</ref>

Unlike other translucent blocks such as [[ice]], [[stained glass]] and [[tinted glass]], water shows the opposite sides of its external planes when viewed from within and from outside.<ref>{{bug|MC-202578|||WAI}}</ref> However, it applies only to the top plane and four side planes; the bottom face is always unseen from above.<ref>{{bug|MC-190053}}</ref>

=== Swimming ===
{{main|Swimming}}

The button for {{control|swim|text=swimming}} is the same as the button for jumping; non-swimming players and mobs sink slowly in water. Holding the swim button raises the player through the water, and when the surface is reached, the player bobs up and down. The {{control|crouch}} button can be used to sink faster. The {{control|sprint}} button can be used to put the player in "swim mode" when the player is completely submerged in water. When in swim mode, the player is horizontal and one block high. The player has an arm-waving animation when viewed in third person or by other players.

Swimming in water is considerably slower against currents (see [[#Current|Current]] below), but faster when going with the current.

Most mobs that can stand can also swim any time they are in water, except for [[iron golem]]s, [[piglin]]s, [[hoglin]]s, [[strider]]s, [[piglin brute]]s and undead mobs. This can lead to drowning if the water is falling from above.

Water of any depth prevents any entity, including the player, from sustaining falling damage if they fall into it, regardless of the distance fallen.

Being inside of water also imparts a [[fog]] effect, tinted accordingly.

=== Spreading ===
{{Main|Fluid#Spread}}
[[File:Water spread v1-13.png|300px|right|An image showing water's spreading distance]]
Water spreads horizontally and downward into nearby [[air]] blocks. Water can spread downward infinitely until stopped by a block, and 7 blocks horizontally from a source block on a flat surface. Water spreads at a rate of 1 block every 5 game ticks, or 4 blocks per second.

When spreading horizontally, a weight is assigned to every direction water can flow. For each direction, this weight is initially set to 1000. Then, for every adjacent block it can flow into it tries to find a way down that is reachable in four or fewer blocks from the block it wants to flow to. When found, the flow weight for that direction is set to the shortest path distance to the way down. Finally, water spreads in the directions with the lowest flow weight.

Spreading water extinguishes [[fire]] and washes away certain types of items or placed blocks, causing them to drop as items and then carrying them along in the flow until the edge of the spread. Affected items include [[plant]]s (except trees), [[snow]], [[torch]]es, [[carpet]]s, [[redstone dust]] and some other redstone components, [[cobweb]], [[end rod]]s, [[head]]s, and [[flower pot]]s.

=== Source blocks ===
{{anchor|Water Spawner}} <!-- Compatibility anchor -->
{{about|the behavior and creation of source units of water|the removed block that created water sources|Water Spawner|section=1}}
A water source block is created from a flowing block that is horizontally adjacent to two or more other source blocks, and sitting on top of a solid block or another water source block. This allows water spawners to exist, in which a new source block immediately forms in the space left by removing a source block with a [[bucket]]. Pools of still water can be created by placing water source blocks in a confined area.

Water spawners can be constructed by arranging for two source blocks to flow into a third block. Each of the examples below require two source blocks, each on opposite ends of the hole, to create a renewable water source block in between.

While water source blocks only generate adjacent to solid blocks, they do not require a solid block to support them. Removing all adjacent blocks to a water source block only causes it to remain floating in the air.

{{IN|java}}, the formation of new water sources blocks can be disabled when the [[game rule]] {{cd|waterSourceConversion}} is set to {{cd|false}}.

<gallery>
2x2 water source.png|2x2 water spawner (every corner is renewable)
3x1 water source.png|3x1 water spawner (middle water block is renewable)
L-shaped water source.png|L-shaped water spawner (corner water block is renewable)
</gallery>

A [[dispenser]] loaded with a filled [[bucket]] places a water source block in an empty block in front of it when activated. A dispenser loaded with an empty bucket and a water source right in front of it sucks the source into the bucket when activated.

In snowy [[biome]]s, water source blocks have a chance to turn into [[ice]] if directly under the sky. Ice blocks under brighter light levels melt back into water source blocks (except in [[the Nether]]). Ice reverts to water when broken, but only if there is a solid block under it.

=== Current ===
The current in a water block determines both the direction it appears to flow and the direction an [[entity]] such as a player or [[boat]] is pushed from that block.

Water with a current pushes players and [[mob]]s at a speed of about 1.39 meters per second, or 25 blocks every 18 seconds. Players that are in creative flying mode don’t get pushed.{{only|je}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-84592}}</ref>

The horizontal current in a water block is based on a vector sum of the flows to and from that block from its four horizontal neighbors. For example, if a block receives water from the north and sends it both south and east, but borders a solid block on its west edge, then a south-southeast current exits from that block, because 2 southward flows (in and out) are combined with 1 eastward flow (out). Thus, 16 horizontal directions are possible. If a branch in a channel is 2 blocks wide at its entrance, then entities float into it rather than continuing in a straight line.

Water blocks can create a downward current. A downward current in a water block is caused by the block below it. Most blocks that do not have a solid upper face cause downward current on above water blocks. Also, ice and falling water blocks (blocks created by spreading downward) cause downward current on the water block above. Falling water blocks have a downward current by default.

=== Light ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, every block of water reduces [[light]] by 1 extra level (in addition to the normal fading-out of light). {{IN|java}}, water does not cause any additional decrease for block light, but diffuses sky light, causing the light to fade with depth. Underwater visibility changes depending on the biome the player is in. The [[Night Vision]] and [[Conduit Power]] effects increase underwater visibility.

=== Color ===
Water has several colors, depending on the biome.

===Water and lava===
{{Main|Fluid#Mixing}}

Water and lava can produce [[stone]], [[cobblestone]], or [[obsidian]] based on how they interact. If water touches a lava source, the lava source turns to obsidian. If both touch each other while flowing, cobblestone is made and no sources are removed, and if lava flows downward onto water, the water turns to stone.

===Interactions with mobs===
====Direct contact====

Water damages [[endermen]], [[snow golem]]s, [[Strider|striders]] and [[blaze]]s, at a rate of {{hp|1}} per half second. If water comes into contact with a [[shulker]] or an [[enderman]], the mob teleports away.

====Suffocation====
{{Main|Damage#Suffocation in water}}

Players and mobs (except [[aquatic mob]]s, [[undead mob]]s and [[iron golem]]s) have a breath meter that lasts 15 seconds. After they run out of breath, they take {{hp|2}} suffocation damage every second until they die, surface, or enter [[bubble column]]s.

[[Dolphin]]s are a special case in drowning: they take suffocation damage when underwater for about 4 minutes, but also take suffocation damage when in air for about 2 minutes.

Each level of the [[Respiration]] enchantment adds 15 seconds to the breath meter and grants an x/(x+1) chance (where x is the Respiration level) of not taking damage after that time: 30 seconds and an average {{hp|1}}/second with Respiration I, 45 seconds and an average of {{frac|2|3}} damage/second with Respiration II, and 60 seconds and an average of {{frac|1|2}} damage/second with Respiration III.

If a [[husk]] suffocates underwater, it starts to shake and eventually becomes a [[zombie]]. If a [[zombie]] suffocates underwater, it starts to shake and eventually transforms into a [[drowned]].

=== Slower mining speed===
Players with their head underwater require 5 times the normal amount of time to mine blocks while standing on the ground, or 25 times while not on the ground. If a player wears a helmet with the [[Aqua Affinity]] enchantment, then underwater mining speed while standing on the ground is the same as on land, and 5 times slower if not standing on the ground.

===Explosions===
Water does not prevent explosions from activating. Water has a high blast resistance, causing it to absorb any normal blasts, with the exception of explosions from [[underwater TNT]].

===Hardening concrete powder ===
When water comes into contact with [[concrete powder]], the powder hardens into solid [[concrete]].

===Sponges===
When a dry [[sponge]] comes into contact with a water source or flowing block, it becomes a wet [[sponge]], absorbing all water within 3 to 5 blocks in all directions. [[Kelp]] and [[lily pad]]s within the absorbed water blocks are destroyed and drop as items, and [[seagrass]] is destroyed without dropping anything. Mobs that take damage out of water are affected as a side-effect. 

Sponges do not absorb water from [[Waterlogging|waterlogged]] blocks, nor water that comes into contact by flowing back in from outside the area of absorption. For instance, placing a sponge 4 or more blocks from a single water source removes the flowing water in the area of effect, but as the flow from the source resumes it is not affected by the wet sponge.

A sponge instantly absorbs nearby water when it is placed next to water or when water comes into contact with it (by being placed next to the sponge, or by flowing toward it). A sponge absorbs [[water]] around itself (water source blocks or flowing water) out to a [[taxicab distance]] of 7 in all directions (including up and down), but won't absorb more than 65 blocks of water (water closest to the sponge is absorbed first). The absorption propagates only from water to water and does not "jump over" non-water blocks (including air).

===Dripping===
[[File:WaterDropletsExample.png|thumb|Dripping water.]]
Water above a non-transparent block (except for stairs, fences, or slabs) produces dripping particles on the underside of that block. If a block of [[Pointed Dripstone|pointed dripstone]] hangs under any block directly beneath a water source, the drips can slowly fill up a [[cauldron]] placed underneath. Without the dripstone, a cauldron does not fill.

===Vertical transport===
[[Bubble column]]s are created by placing magma blocks or [[soul sand]] under water. These can be used to transport [[mobs]] or items quickly vertically.

==Issues==
{{Issue list}}

==Trivia==
*The texture subtly overlaid on the screen when underwater is that of the original water texture from 0.0.12a.
**The outdatedness of this texture is not considered a bug or oversight, unlike many other outdated textures.<ref>{{bug|MC-241000|||Invalid}}</ref>
**This texture is particularly difficult to notice due to its extreme transparency,<ref>{{bug|MC-128337}}</ref> as well as the fact that other blocks likely make the scene visually noisy enough to further obscure it under most conditions.
* While underwater, the player's FOV (field of vision) is lowered by 10 to simulate light {{w|refraction}}. This can be disabled via the "FOV Effects" [[option]].
*If a player or mob with the [[Levitation]] effect touches water, the effect is completely negated.<ref>{{bug|MC-83369}}</ref>

1.9pre1Before this update, Endermen could be killed with the use of a bow. Afterwards, arrows, snowballs, eggs, and negative splash potions will not hit them due to the fact that they teleport away before impact.
Enderman will teleport away and become neutral if the player pours water on a hostile Enderman.
1.9pre3Notch stated "Endermen suck because they're annoying, and because I nerfed them and made them too easy. I shall fix this."[7] Because of this, Endermen were modified in this update to have 40 hp (instead of 20), requiring 6 hits (5 with all critical hits) from a diamond sword to kill, or 40 punches with just a fist. Combined with their teleportation aspect, Endermen are significantly more challenging.
1.9pre4The Endermen now have a realm of their own: the End, where they spawn frequently.
Endermen used to burn in sunlight, but as of this update, Endermen won't burn in daylight. They will instead teleport away when the player walks up to them in the daytime, making it extremely hard to get close enough to kill them.
1.0.0RC1Before the Sound Update, Endermen used the sound effects of Zombies as a place holder. Then in Beta 1.9, the Zombie sounds for the Enderman were removed. On November 13th, 2011 Endermen received their own audio scheme, most notably a long moan overlaid with static for when they are triggered hostile by the player. The noises are actually a person saying 'Hi' and 'What's Up' backwards and distorted.[8][9]

{{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Water Bucket|Water Bucket]]<br/>{{Item
| title = Water Bucket
| renewable = Yes
| image = Water Bucket.png

}}

A '''water bucket''' is a [[bucket]] filled with [[water]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Interacting ===
To fill an empty [[bucket]] with water, {{control|use}} it on a [[water]] source block. The water is consumed in the process. Flowing water does not fill a bucket.

{{control|Using}} an empty bucket on a [[cauldron]] filled with water (water level 3) empties the cauldron and fills the bucket.

Water buckets can also be filled by placing an empty one in the fuel slot of a [[furnace]], and a wet [[sponge]] into the oven slot. The bucket is filled when the [[smelting]] process completes, which also leaves the sponge dry and ready to be reused.

=== Chest Loot ===

{{LootChestItem|water-bucket}}

== Usage ==
{{Control|Using}} a water bucket on a solid block places a water source block against that block, emptying the bucket; using a water bucket on a [[waterlogging|waterloggable]] block waterlogs the block. In [[the Nether]], however, the water evaporates, making a fire extinguishing sound and displays smoke particles while nothing gets placed.

=== Dispensers ===
A [[dispenser]] can be loaded with a water bucket, and when activated it places a water block directly before it, emptying the bucket. A dispenser loaded with an empty bucket and a water source right in front of it draws the source into the bucket when activated.

=== Cauldrons ===
A single water bucket can fill a [[cauldron]], and using an empty bucket on a water-filled cauldron fills the bucket. Empty buckets cannot be filled from partly-filled cauldrons.

=== Filling bucket with mobs ===
Water buckets can be used on a [[fish]], [[axolotl]] or [[tadpole]] to create a [[bucket of aquatic mob]].

=== Transportation ===
{{main|Tutorials/Elevators#Water elevators}}
Water buckets can be used as a means of quickly descending great heights in the [[Overworld]] and [[the End]], either by creating a waterfall or using the water bucket while falling to create a safe water landing.

Water buckets can also be used to climb vertical surfaces anywhere but [[the Nether]] by repeatedly creating higher waterfalls from the bottom and swimming up them.

'''A very fine item''' was a joke item from [[Java Edition 20w14∞]], found only in the {{code|isolation}} dimension.

== Appearance ==
The texture of a very fine item resembles the side face of a grass block with the words "Home Sweet Home" written on it. Unlike most items, its texture is 64x64 pixels, rather than the usual 16x16.

== Obtaining ==
=== Dimension ===
A very fine item can only be obtained from an item frame in the {{Code|isolation}} dimension. There is a maximum of 1 fine item that can be found legitimately in any world.

=== Cheats/Creative mode ===
This item can't be found in the creative inventory, but it can be middle-click duplicated in creative mode or given with the {{Code|code=give <target> minecraft:fine_item <amount>}} command.

== Usage ==
This item cannot be placed or used in any way other than a trophy. It can still be inserted and/or rotated inside of an item frame.

'''Le Tricolore''' (French for ''The Tricolour'') is a joke item from [[Java Edition 23w13a_or_b]].

== Obtaining ==
One le tricolore and one [[la baguette]] is given to all players when [[French mode]] gets activated. Deactivating the mode will remove le tricolore from the player's inventory (but not la baguette; [[container]]s such as [[chest]]s are not affected).

Le Tricolore is not available in the creative inventory, but can be obtained by using the {{cmd|give}} command.

A '''sign''' is a non-solid [[block]] that displays text and can be placed on the top or side of other blocks. A '''hanging sign''' is a decorative block that also displays text, and can be placed underneath blocks or with a solid self-supporting bracket. The text of both types of signs can be customized with [[dye]]s and [[glow ink sac]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Signs can be broken with any tool or without a tool, but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Sign|sprite=oak-sign|Axe|foot=1|item=1}}

A sign or a hanging sign also breaks and drops itself as an [[item]] if the block the sign is attached to is moved, removed or destroyed. However, a wall hanging sign will stay here if the block the hanging sign is attached to is removed.<ref>{{bug|MC-256501|||WAI}}</ref>

If a sign is broken while being edited, the player continues to edit the sign<ref>{{bug|MC-117815}}</ref>, although {{in|bedrock}} breaking the sign stops the editing operation.

=== Natural generation ===
An oak sign can be found in [[igloo]] basements. Spruce signs can be found in taiga [[village]] houses, as part of a chair.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|oak-sign,oak-hanging-sign,spruce-sign,spruce-hanging-sign}}

=== Crafting ===
[[The player]] can place six stripped [[log]] [[block]]s at the bottom half of the crafting table and place two [[chain]]s on the top-left and top-right slots to create hanging signs. This crafting recipe will create six hanging signs. Hanging signs can only be crafted with stripped logs or [[stem]]s; non-stripped wood cannot be used to craft hanging signs.

== Usage ==
Signs can be used to display text; they can be used to label storage, display information to other players or note areas of interest. Signs are also not destroyed by [[water]] or [[lava]] and therefore may be used to control the flow of these fluids.

=== Placement ===
==== Signs ====
Signs may be placed on the top or side of other [[block]]s (including semi-solid and non-solid blocks such as [[fence]]s, [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and other signs). To place a sign, {{control|use}} a sign [[item]] while pointing at the block the sign should be attached to, enter the desired text (or none), and click the "Done" button or press "escape" on a keyboard (or press × {{in|bedrock}}, {{xbtn|b}} on an Xbox controller, {{psbtn|o}} on a PlayStation controller, or {{nsbutton|B}} on a Nintendo Switch controller. Closing the virtual keyboard on a mobile device also exits the typing menu). To place a sign on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the sign.

Signs on the top of a block stand on a short post and face toward the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. Signs placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the sign.

Even if placed on a vertical surface, a sign may not co-exist in the same block of air as any other item, despite not necessarily visibly obstructing eachother.

For more information about the blocks signs can be placed on, see [[Opacity/Placement]].

==== Hanging signs ====
Hanging signs can be placed in three different ways:
* Placing a hanging sign on the side of a block will result in it being placed with a self-supporting bracket, which allows it to float without any supporting block. This version can be placed in four different directions.
* Placing a hanging sign on the bottom of a block will result in the sign hanging below the block.
** If the block is wide enough, the chains holding the sign will be parallel. This version can be placed in four different directions.
** If the block is too narrow, the chains will meet together in a upwards arrow shape. This version is also placed if the player is {{control|sneaking}} when placing a hanging sign below a wide-enough block. This version can be placed in sixteen different directions.

=== Text ===
[[File:Oak Sign GUI.png|thumb|240px|Oak Sign editing.]]
Placing a sign opens an editor interface resembling a magnified view of the sign. Up to four lines of text can then be entered using a keyboard (hardware or on-screen). The editor supports limited editing, including moving the cursor and inserting and deleting characters. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[formatting codes]] can also be used to apply decorative effects such as color, bold, italic and underline to various bits of the text. Depending on the edition and platform in use, copy and paste operations may be supported and the editor may also support keyboard entry of Alt-codes for displaying Unicode characters.


Text can be added to the back side of a sign by interacting with the that side of the sign after placing it and editing the front.

Signs can be waxed by {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[honeycomb]] on it. Once waxed, a sign cannot be unwaxed or edited.

After placing and affixing text on a sign, a player can change the text color by {{control|using}} a [[dye]] on it. When colored with dye, the text color may differ from any color specified by formatting codes.{{Info needed|How does this work? Does the dye affect all the text? One line? One word? Does dye override all formatting codes, including font effects?}}

[[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|216px|Oak sign with glow ink and orange dye applied in {{JE}}.]]

A player can {{control|use}} a [[glow ink sac]] on a sign to make its text glow. The glowing text is not affected by lighting. The player can use a regular black [[ink sac]] on the sign to remove the glowing effect.

In [[Creative]] mode, the combination {{key|Ctrl}} + {{control|pick block}} on Windows/Linux, or {{key|cmd}} + {{control|pick block}} on macOS, can be used to copy an already-placed sign, including its text (with decorations), into the player's inventory.

A dyed sign facing east or west will have its text appear more saturated and bright than a sign facing north or south. However, it is actually the sign that is dimmer, because ''Minecraft'''s lighting engine uses side lighting to make the world appear less flat, but the text on signs is not affected by this.

{{IN|bedrock}}, inappropriate words or phrases in a sign's text are displayed as asterisks.

{{IN|java}}, signs can be created with [[Commands#Raw JSON Text|JSON text]], which allows complex formatting (colors, bold, italic, etc.), hover and click events, localized translation (for ''Minecraft'' technical terms, like "Redstone Repeater", otherwise translations must be provided in language files in resource packs), and the incorporation of scoreboard values into text. Use the {{cmd|data merge block}} command to create or alter JSON signs.

: Example: {{cmd|long=1|data merge block ~ ~1 ~ <nowiki>{front_text:{ color:"green", messages:[ '{"selector":"@p", "bold":false, "italic":false, "underlined":false, "strikethrough":false, "obfuscated":false}' , '{"text":"Second Line"}']}}}}

Signs can post the success count of JSON text hover and click events to [[scoreboard]] objectives. The objectives to be used can be specified by running the {{cmd|execute store}} command or by modifying the sign's NBT data directly with the {{cmd|data merge block}} command.

=== Interaction ===
Signs act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so the [[player]] is unable to place [[block]]s or use [[item]]s while the cursor is pointed at them without {{control|sneaking}}.

Signs are destroyed and drop as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].{{Only|bedrock}}

Signs are non-solid and have no collision, so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through sign blocks. Other [[block]]s (including other signs) can be placed on any edge of a sign.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around signs. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to signs as if the signs were flammable, but the signs do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except {{in|be}}).

=== Fuel ===
Wooden signs can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting an [[item]] per sign.

=== Note Blocks ===
Signs can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce a "bass" sounds.

A '''portfolio''' is an [[item]] that can save [[photo]]s taken with a [[camera]].<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/support/knowledge-base/using-cameras-portfolios/</ref>

== Obtaining ==
Portfolios can be obtained in the creative inventory or through the {{cmd|give}} command.

== Usage ==
[[File:Portfolio Interface.png|thumb|upright=1.5|The portfolio interface]]
Once a photo has been taken using the [[camera]], it appears in the portfolio. Once equipped, right-clicking brings up a two-page book of photos the [[player]] has taken, in chronological order. Captions can be added below each picture. Pressing the "Export Portfolio" button creates a .zip file with all photos as JPGs in a specified folder. The portfolio is also used to load custom items in [[Minecraft China]].

<!-- IT IS SHERD, NOT SHARD! DO NOT CHANGE TO SHARD, AS IT IS NAMED SHERD IN-GAME! -->
'''Pottery sherds'''<ref group="note">The word "[[wiktionary:sherd#English|sherd]]" or "[[wiktionary:potsherd#English|potsherd]]" is used by archaeologists to refer to fragments of pottery or other ceramics in order to differentiate them from "shards" of glass, metal, minerals and other materials.
</ref> are a set of twenty [[item]]s used to craft [[decorated pot]]s with ornamental designs. They can be obtained only by [[brush]]ing [[suspicious block]]s, with the variants of sherd obtainable being dependent on the structure.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===
When a [[decorated pot]] is broken with a [[pickaxe]], [[axe]], [[shovel]], [[hoe]] or [[sword]] that is ''not'' enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops all of the pottery sherds and [[brick]]s used to craft it.

=== Suspicious block loot ===
Pottery sherds can be found as [[suspicious block]] loot in [[trail ruins]], [[ocean ruins]], [[desert pyramids]] and [[desert well]]s, and can be extracted from these blocks using a [[brush]].

When a bee nest or beehive at {{cd|honey_level}} 5 is [[shear]]ed, it drops 3 honeycombs and angers any bees inside, causing them to attack. Having a lit [[campfire]] or lighting a fire underneath the nest or hive prevents the bees from becoming hostile.

A [[dispenser]] with shears inside can be used to shear the nest without angering the bees. The honeycomb pops out as a dropped item.

A '''minecart with hopper''' is a [[minecart]] with a [[hopper]] inside. Unlike a normal hopper, it pulls items from containers much more quickly, cannot push items into containers, can collect [[Item (entity)|item entities]] through a single layer of [[solid block]]s and is locked and unlocked via [[Activator Rail|activator rails]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

|type= Transportation

Minecarts with hoppers can be retrieved by attacking them. By doing so it drop as an [[item (entity)|item]] and any other contents of the hopper are dropped as well.

== Usage ==
[[File:Minecart with Hopper GUI.png|thumb|176px|The GUI of a minecart with hopper.]]
Minecarts with hoppers are placed similarly to other [[minecart]]s.

A minecart with hopper pulls in items lying nearby (within a range slightly larger than the cart itself), or inside a container directly above the minecart, at a rate of 1 item every [[game tick]] (20 items per second), eight times as fast as a normal hopper. It also picks up items that are lying on a block directly above the track. It does not push items into containers, but a hopper underneath the track can remove items from a minecart with hopper on the track. Ordinary hoppers can also drop items into a minecart with hopper like other containers, at the normal speed of 2.5 items per second. In Bedrock Edition, a minecart with hopper on curved rail pulls in items in a hopper lying in front of its moving direction and 1 block above if hopper's output funnel is pointed downward and no block is below that hopper.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-94293}}</ref>

The hopper can be disabled by passing over a powered [[activator rail]], and can be reenabled by an inactive activator rail.

An empty minecart with hopper can travel more than 85 blocks without stopping (as opposed to a normal cart going less than 12 blocks) from a dead stop using a 2 powered track starter even with another cart in front of them. However, the distance traveled by a minecart with hopper depends on the hopper's load. Using a 1 powered rail starter track, a minecart with an empty hopper travels 64 blocks until it stops (as opposed to an empty normal minecart going 8 blocks). The distance traveled diminishes non-linearly with increased hopper load; a minecart with a full hopper can travel only 16 blocks in this setup.

An '''eye of ender''' is a craftable item used to locate [[stronghold]]s and activate the [[end portal]]s within them.

== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
  |Blaze Powder

  |Output=Eye of Ender
  |type=Miscellaneous
}}

== Usage ==
=== Locating strongholds ===
[[File:Eye of Ender (break).gif|thumb|right|An animation of an eye of ender shattering.]]

To locate [[stronghold]]s (and the [[end portal]]s they house):
* Pressing {{control|use}} while holding an eye of ender causes it to fly approximately 12 blocks in the direction of the nearest stronghold, traveling through any blocks necessary, and leave a trail of purple particles, the same particle effect used for [[endermen]] and [[ender chests]]. 
** The eye leads to the [[chunk]] where a spiral staircase, the first room generated in the stronghold, is located.
** The center of this entrance staircase is always exactly at the chunk coordinates 4, ~, 4, although the eye of ender leads to chunk coordinates 0, ~, 0 (the northwest corner of the chunk).
* While over 12 blocks away from the northwest corner of the staircase chunk, the eye will travel upward to offer an easily-visible indication of the horizontal direction the player must travel.
* When closer than 12 blocks to the northwest corner of the staircase chunk, the eye will travel downward, to indicate the player is above a stronghold and must mine downward.
* After two or three seconds of travel, the eye floats in the air briefly, then either falls (becoming collectable again) or shatters in mid-air. The eye has a 20% chance of shattering (80% chance of surviving) per throw, therefore throwing it three times has approximately 50% overall chance to shatter the eye (0.8<sup>3</sup>=51.2%).
* The eye of ender's flying function works only in the [[Overworld]]. It does nothing in [[the Nether]], [[the End]], [[custom dimension]]s{{verify|type=current}}, or in worlds with no strongholds.

Note that the eyes may point to an incorrect location if the target chunks were generated with a different biomes map in an older version or through different generation settings.<ref>See also {{bug|MC-135996}}</ref>

=== Activating end portals ===
[[File:Active End Portal.png|thumb|right|An end portal activated with eyes of ender.]]
Once an end portal is found, the eyes of ender are required to activate it. End portals require a total of 12 eyes of ender in order to activate, though each individual frame-block has a 10% chance of containing an eye of ender when generated. Eyes can be placed in empty [[End portal frame]]s by pressing {{control|use}} on them until the entire ring of 12 is filled, thereby activating the portal. Due to the fact that there is a 10% chance of each individual end portal frame having an eye in it, there is a one out of one trillion chance of every frame having an eye in it thereby activating the portal even if the player doesn't have any eyes of ender.

{{History|||snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4|Each eye can now be placed in a [[end portal frame|portal block]] or used to hone in on a [[stronghold]].

|In older worlds with chunks generated before [[Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3|Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3]], the eyes may mislead the [[player]] to a place where there isn't a [[stronghold]] at all. This happens because the eyes lead to where a stronghold should be based on the world seed in the current version, but before Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 strongholds generated differently based on the seed. Therefore, if the player saved the coordinates the eye traveled to in an old world and generated a new world with the same seed, the player could travel to those same coordinates and find a stronghold.}}

==Issues==
{{issue list}}

==Trivia ==
*When thrown in third-person view, the eyes of ender fly out from the player's feet instead of their hand.
*Before [[Java Edition 1.9]], eyes of ender can be purchased from cleric villagers, which means players can find a [[stronghold]] and go to [[the End]] without accessing [[the Nether]] at all.
*{{IN|bedrock}} if the player travels beyond a certain radius (roughly 740,000 blocks), eyes of ender always point to a stronghold near spawn, even though strongholds continue to generate past this limit. If one travels to this limit, they can see eyes of ender suddenly switching direction. A similar phenomenon occurs with the {{cmd|locate}} command.

Endermen now open their mouths and shake when provoked.
Endermen stop in front of the player. When the player swings his/her sword, it teleports behind the player.

Issues

Issues relating to "Enderman" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

  • Notch claimed in public that the Enderman is a "(subtle)" reference to "the Slenderman", a similar looking monster with a similar name. Given the later development of the End, it is possible he already had the name in mind, and did not choose it because of the Reddit thread in which their name was revealed.[10]
  • In the Halloween texture pack for the Xbox 360 Edition, the Enderman is re-skinned to look like The Slenderman.
  • If an Enderman is in his aggressive state, you can prevent him from walking/going anywhere if you stare at him (you can freeze the enderman as long as your cursor remains on him). However, if attacked in this state, the enderman may teleport away.
  • The Enderman seems to use a re-colored version of the player's face texture, much like blazes, zombies, and skeletons.
  • The exact size of an Enderman is 0.6x0.6x2.9 blocks(1.9x1.9x9.5 feet).
  • Enderman sounds seems to stem from reverse audios:
    • the "idle1" sound is a reversed “here”
    • the "idle2" sound is a reversed "hiya"
    • the "idle3" sound is a down-pitched “whats up?” or "this way!"
    • the "idle4" sound is a down-pitched reversed "forever!"
    • the "idle5" sound is a reversed "uh oh!"
  • Even in an aggressive state, they can still pick up blocks, which at times makes it look like they are tearing through walls to reach the player. However, they do not intentionally pick up blocks in order to reach the player.
  • If a Mob Spawner is tweaked to spawn Endermen, the model inside will have its head jutting out the top of the frame.
  • The purple particles that Endermen emit are hard-coded into the game, so they cannot be re-textured without mods.
  • After 12w38a Snapshot update, the previously unused stare.ogg and scream.ogg can now be heard without use of any mods. Stare.ogg plays whenever the player is staring at an Enderman, and Scream.ogg plays when Enderman is chasing a player.
  • Amusingly, if an Enderman is set on fire, they may try to put it out by teleporting into water, and therefore committing 'suicide', because they take damage from it.
  • Amusingly enough, if an Enderman is caught in rain, he will continuously teleport in random directions. Players can sometimes, during rain, see Endermen teleport in front of them quickly and teleport off the moment they take damage.
  • If you throw a Potion of Invisibility to an Enderman, the Enderman will be invisible, but you can still see the eyes. This is because the eyes, like spiders, are in a separate texture file.
    • In the End, an invisible Enderman at a distance will become visible as a pale purple figure.
  • Burning Endermen will teleport randomly; similar to if they are in rain.
    • Using spawn eggs, Enderman continuously spawned into lava will humorously teleport - in the Nether, they will often teleport in circles for lack of room due to the lava oceans.
  • If you go to sleep in a bed it is possible for an Enderman to teleport on it and knock you off. You will still continue to go to sleep as if you were in a bed.
  • To make Endermen aggressive in the Xbox 360 Edition, players must perform critical hits.
  • Endermen can be hit by arrows in the Xbox 360 Edition. Although they appear to teleport away half a second before the arrow hits they will have the arrow sticking out of their arm when they reappear, and if it was a flaming arrow the Enderman will be on fire.
  • Endermen cannot teleport onto lily pads or cobwebs.
  • Endermen originate from the End, yet they are unable to pick up and move the End Stone of which that world is made.
  • It is actually possible to hit Endermen with arrows, but only if you are far enough from the Enderman.
    • Strangely, this will not make the Enderman hostile.
  • Interestingly, the player is not the only one who can create Snow and Iron Golems. It is possible for Endermen to do so as well, since they can pick up and place Pumpkins. The creation of these mobs by Endermen is not intentional; it is out of randomness.
    • This may cause the golems to attack the Enderman as soon as it places the pumpkin.
  • As of 1.8, Switching to spectator mode and taking an Enderman's camera adds the invert shader, suggesting that they see The End as an island of blue cobblestone (because end stone is a yellowish inversion of cobblestone) in a white sky, with white pillars, white Endermen with green eyes and a white Ender Dragon
  • The collective noun for a group of Endermen is "a haunting of Endermen", as stated by Dinnerbone.[11]
