''Minecraft'' '''Pocket Edition'''<ref>http://mojang.com/2011/05/25/minecraft-pocket-edition/</ref> is the mobile version of ''[[Minecraft]]'' intended for Android and iOS devices, initially launching exclusively for the Android Market<ref>https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mojang.minecraftpe&feature=more_from_developer</ref> for $6.92/£4.28 on August 16, 2011, along with a free demo version.

The '''Enderman''' is a mob that was introduced in version 1.8 pre-release; Part one of the [[Adventure Update]].<ref name="Screenshot">https://plus.google.com/116872576248355504859/posts/DrjzbDobiws - Notch's Google+ page</ref><ref name="Reddit Thread">http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/j09ma/notch_posts_images_of_new_mob/c28388j - /r/Minecraft thread about the screenshot released by Notch</ref> The Endermen are 3 block-high,<ref name="blog"/> black creatures with long arms and legs, glowing purple eyes and a purple particle effect similar to a [[Portal]]. They are rare in comparison to other mobs (with the exception of the spawner-only [[Cave Spider]]), but can still be seen regularly at night on the Overworld in groups of up to five. Their two iconic abilities are the ability to pick up and move blocks and teleportation. Endermen take damage from coming in contact with water (including water blocks and rain)<ref>http://www.twitch.tv/realnotch/b/29353761/</ref>. Their exact size is 0.6x0.6x2.9.
  
   
  +
It was released for other android devices on the 8th of October 2011.<ref>http://twitter.com/#!/Kappische/status/122246496941899776</ref>
−
In the future, Notch plans to make an [[The Ender|Ender Dimension]], where they will spawn frequently.<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/l3jgm/enderdragons_decrypt_w_rot13_via_notch/c2ph1f1</ref><ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/l3jgm/enderdragons_decrypt_w_rot13_via_notch/c2ph3nd</ref>

==Objective and Gameplay==
⚫
== Behavior ==
  
  +
The objective of the game remains the same as its original PC and Xbox counterparts, where players can build virtual realities in a sandbox-like environment.
−
Endermen spawn as neutral mobs and will normally mind their own business, wandering aimlessly like other mobs and occasionally picking up blocks, carrying them for a time and then randomly placing them on the ground elsewhere. However, if a player looks at them by placing his or her crosshair directly over them for half a second, they freeze, stare back at the player, shake, open their mouth, and become hostile. The Enderman can detect unwanted scrutiny from a range of 64 blocks - four times the search range of most other aggressive mobs.
  
   
  +
The gameplay of the pocket edition is akin to that of the [[Creative]] gamemode, with minor differences such as having several of the blocks from the Beta version of the game. A video of an early prototype was released on Twitter,<ref name="pocketvideo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmhZkRBQbig</ref> showing the game on the Xperia PLAY. The alpha version has recently been released, and as of October 8 is no longer exclusive to Xperia PLAY. The non-exclusive version was going to be released on September 29<sup>th</sup> for Android<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCcsuPH4vJY&feature=channel_video_title</ref> but there were several severe bugs that needed to be fixed; the release was delayed until the 8th of October. A version for iOS devices is coming before 2012.<ref>http://www.unboundgamer.com/_/minecraft-pocket-edition-interview-with-mojang-r393</ref>
−
After becoming aggressive, they will stay frozen as long as the player doesn't move the mouse.<ref>1.8.1 Updates</ref> When the player moves the mouse, even if only by one pixel and in any case regardless of whether it's still pointing at the Enderman, it will quickly run at high speed towards the player. If they are a long distance away, the Enderman will teleport, roughly halving the distance to the player with each teleport until it is within 16 meters. Once within range, the Enderman can teleport to avoid melee attacks and will often manifest behind the player. Endermen will not teleport into water source blocks but can run into water source blocks. <ref>http://twitter.com/notch/status/96690003601670145</ref><ref>http://twitter.com/notch/status/96690925354500096</ref><ref name="blog">[http://notch.tumblr.com/post/8208212863/the-psychology-of-the-reticle-and-the-feeling-of Notch on Enderman on his blog]</ref>

== Preventing Attacks ==
 +
== System Requirements ==
  +
According to [[Aron Nieminen]], the system requirements are:
−
As Endermen are 3 blocks tall, you can keep your house 2 blocks tall to prevent Endermen from teleporting into it, if you happen to look at one. However, if you build a tower that happens to be the size or shorter than a hill next to you, the Enderman can still teleport into your castle or home. If you aren't in your house and you look at one, though, you have to keep your crosshairs on it until you're close enough to kill it. Also, if the player sits in a pool of water, the Enderman will take damage from the water and then teleport away in response to the damage, and then run back to the player in an attempt to attack. They will usually repeat this mishap until getting killed.
  
−
If the player wears a pumpkin on their head, an Enderman will not turn hostile when looked at.
  
−
They cannot teleport to you when they are in [[minecart]]s.
  
   
  +
* Android 2.1 or later
−
== Killing Endermen ==
  
  +
* The phone must have a CPU that supports floating-point calculations ("ARM-v7a code")
−
Despite their somewhat unsettling appearance, Endermen are easier to kill than most other mobs, since they are damaged by [[water]], fire, [[lava]], rain and attacks alike. Emptying a bucket of water on the ground will damage the Enderman without it becoming hostile to you. Arrows and all types of swords are effective against one, though wood, stone, and gold swords may not deal enough damage to kill the Enderman before it kills you.
  
  +
* The screen must support multi-touch
   
  +
Aron says that the CPU called "MSM7227" is NOT supported, which unfortunately is in a lot of smartphone models<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSM7000#MSM7227</ref>.
−
Hostile Endermen will teleport away when the player closes in on them to strike. When this happens in a small underground space, the Enderman will teleport into inaccessible caves or to the surface. They will not teleport back to the player unless he/she moves to an area that has enough space for the Enderman to teleport back. On the surface, an Enderman's tendency to teleport away when the player is close enough to attack can be used to keep an attacking Enderman at bay. The player can also change to 3rd person view by pressing F5 to make sure he or she can't be attacked from behind because of the Enderman tendency of teleporting behind them.
  
   
  +
According to Kappiche, pocket edition won't work with phones that suck<ref>https://twitter.com/#!/Kappische/status/122411876364718081</ref> - this refers to phones that have under 1GHz processor and Android version lower than 2.3.<ref>https://twitter.com/#!/Kappische/status/122412469695156224</ref>
−
When killed, regardless of the method of death, any blocks held by the Enderman disappear. They do not drop or get placed.
  
   
  +
=== Verified Devices ===
−
As of the 1.9 Pre-release 2, Endermen teleport to avoid being hit by arrows, and teleport to a new location when hit with one. They are no longer damaged by sunlight in this version, and when they enter water they immediately teleport out of it.

−
Endermen will pick up and move both natural and player-placed blocks. They will pick up blocks horizontally nearby within a short reaching distance similar to the player's, at heights from their feet to their head (3 layers).

== Trivia ==
−
In 1.8 Pre-releases, Endermen were able to pick up any block, including Bedrock.

* Sand does not fall in Pocket Edition of Minecraft.
  +
* There is no smooth lighting in Pocket Edition.
  +
* Torches are the only form of lighting in Pocket Edition.

The source code of Mob Endermen in Beta 1.8 indicates they will only pick up blocks of the following types: <ref>http://pastebin.com/1mzhUzMY</ref>

After 1.8, Notch announced that he would be changing the way in which Endermen interact with blocks.<ref>http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/116186387878920193</ref> As of Beta 1.9 Pre-release 2, Endermen are now limited to the following blocks:

===Damage to Structures and Environment===
  
−
Because Endermen possess the ability to move blocks, they can cause damage to the natural environment and player built structures. For players with access to significant resources, Endermen may not represent a real threat in combat but are considered nuisance household pests. At present, Endermen are able to move player-placed blocks and the resulting holes can let in other mobs in addition to being simply unsightly. Fortunately, their manipulation appears to be random and as such, simply increasing the thickness of exterior walls (increasing the number of blocks Endermen must move from the same location to compromise security) will greatly reduce the chance of a catastrophic failure before it can be repaired. In some circumstances, removing a single block can have profound consequences on a structure due to what the block is holding or holding ''back''. An Enderman may, for example, elect to remove the glass cover from a lava light or a block supporting torches, redstone wiring, switches, or a door. Such critical components should be made structurally redundant, fail-safe, and kept out of reach of Endermen.
  
−  
−
On the overworld, signs of Endermen activity will soon start to become apparent in frequently loaded chunks. This is most noticeable in wooded areas where Endermen are important forestry pests as they damage trees by removing parts of the trunk near the ground. They will also take leaf blocks and place them on the ground where, much like player-placed leaves, they will not decay. In desert areas, Endermen pollinate cacti by removing blocks and placing them on fresh sand, gradually increasing the population of cactus in frequently loaded deserts. They will also cause damage to structures in NPC villages, causing fire and flood if their curiosity takes them to the smithy or irrigation embankments.
  
−
A common Enderman defense is to place lava or water moats around well-lit structures.
  
−  
−
Notably the Endermen can reach through blocks to grab blocks behind so put anything important two blocks in, or make walls multiple blocks deep.
  
−  
−
A common misconception is that vines prevent Endermen from taking blocks, however Endermen will not pick up vines and will reach through them instead (like stairs)
  
−  
−
Endermen do not spawn in lit areas, but they may wander into lit areas from adjacent dark ones, so simply lighting structures liberally with torches is not a guaranteed defense.
  
−  
−
== Future ==
  
−
Notch had stated "Endermen suck because they're annoying, and because I nerfed them and made them too easy. I shall fix this."<ref>http://twitter.com/notch/status/118903247212773376</ref> In 1.9pre, Endermen have 20 hearts of health, requiring 4 hits from a diamond sword to kill. They instantly teleport away upon contact with arrows, water and sunlight.
  
−  
−
== Bugs ==
  
−
*In SMP, Endermen do not charge if you look at them. However, their vision bounding box is off, so if you look above the Endermen, they will become aggressive.
  
−
*In SMP, Endermen don't open their mouths or shake when aggressive.
  
−
*When using a custom texture pack, Endermen will be bright white overlapping their texture. This is caused by the blank spaces of their enderman_eyes.png file. If you create a custom texture pack you must make sure that you only change the 6 pixels actually used by their eyes. An alternative would be to use the original png from the minecraft.jar in your pack. Using the most recent release of MCPatcher also fixes this bug.
  
−
* If an Enderman is holding a block and the world is exited and then re-entered, the [[Data values#Data|data value]] of the block is not preserved, and will reset to 0x0. For example, in the case of the wool, it will become white wool, and brown mushroom blocks will display the pores texture on each side. This is due to a mixup in the saving/loading of Endermen entities, it is saved as carryingData and tries to load carriedData.
  
−
* If a hostile Enderman is forced to teleport because they have wandered into a water block they will no longer be hostile to the player, it is yet unknown if this is a bug or not.
  
−
*If a hostile Enderman is attacked by another mob and kills the attacker, it resets to being neutral towards the player.

−
*The name "Enderman" is a reference to the Internet meme known as "the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/slender-man Slender Man]", a similar-looking fictional [[Wikipedia:cryptid|cryptid]]. The name was given to the mob by [[Notch]] in a [http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft Reddit thread.]<ref name="Reddit Thread" />
  
−
**Because many find the name "Enderman" unappealing, they have petitioned to change the name "Endermen" to "Far Landers". Notch has stated however that he will not change their name, regardless of this petition, going as far as to joke that he should change the name of the [[Far Lands]] to "The End" instead.
  
−
*At the PAX Beta 1.8 demo, Endermen dropped diamonds; in the actual release they have a chance to drop an [[Ender Pearl]].
  
−
*Endermen have the ability to open their mouths. In their texture, their jaw is separated from their skull<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a0pbpqn_5g</ref> and in the 1.8 Official Trailer<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYoO9XkCCHg</ref>, an Enderman attacked the camera with its mouth open. This makes the Enderman the first mob with the ability to physically open their mouths without switching to a different texture. They only open their mouths when they attack. Due to the player's perspective, the player sees the back of the Enderman's head when they open their mouths. If a player is one block higher, they see through the Enderman's open mouth. They open their mouths by moving their skulls higher than their jaw.
  
−
*In version 1.8, Endermen sound like zombies, but that is a place holder; new sounds were made, but not yet implemented.<ref>http://twitter.com/C418/status/113939929414893568</ref> In the prerelease of version 1.9, Endermen are completely silent. This is only until 1.9 full release, when the new resources will be downloaded.

*Endermen's full body glows in the fog. (Like Spiders)
  
−
*Endermen seem to shake while you look at them.
  
−
*When you pause the game, the Enderman will keep shaking.
  
−
* What Notch wrote in his first official description of the Endermen, "-the feeling of control", may have meant more than it appeared, referencing a deeper fear in players, the fear that they now had something closer to an equal, and thus something to challenge their control.
  
−
*Endermen seem to have a smiley face pattern on the back of their heads.
  
−
*Contrary to popular belief, there are no other eye colors besides purple. The mob/enderman_eyes.png file in minecraft.jar only has one color, and what looks like white eyes in mob/enderman.png is actually the spot where the eye texture gets overlaid, to make the eyes glow like spiders'.
  
−
*When an Enderman picks up a block, it makes the sound of that block type being destroyed.
  
−
*Endermen are quite common above ground, as stated above, spawning in groups of sometimes about 5, while below ground they are a bit rarer and cannot spawn in low roofed areas, such as confined caves. It is not recommended to run underground to get away from them as they may still spawn and will chase you if provoked.
  
−
*Endermen do spawn in the rain.
  
−
*The reason Endermen are damaged by the rain and by water is because Burnie Burns, founder of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooster_Teeth Rooster Teeth Productions], and his nine-year-old son Jack were visiting Mojang as part of a project. Jack saw [[Notch]] running from some Endermen and suggested that they take damage from water as a vulnerability. <ref>http://roosterteeth.com/podcast/episode.php?id=132</ref>
  
−
*In the 1.8 Pre-release as well as the 1.8 Pre-release 2, Endermen originally had green eyes and emitted black smoke. In the full release of beta 1.8, the eyes were changed to purple and black smoke has been replaced with purple particles similar to the particles emitted from Nether portals.

*If you use the mod Single Player Commands and use the command "spawnstack" etc Enderman the Enderman on top will be in a sitting position.

*Endermen can't see the player through glass.

−
*Endermen can harvest cacti and collapse the entire cactus.
  
−
*Endermen can teleport very far, even when moving several hundred kilometers from them, they will continue to follow until killed.
  
−
*If an Enderman carrying a block is killed, that block is not dropped on death.

This article is about the Pocket Edition. For the Xbox 360 Edition, see Xbox Edition.

Minecraft Pocket Edition[1] is the mobile version of Minecraft intended for Android and iOS devices, initially launching exclusively for the Android Market[2] for $6.92/£4.28 on August 16, 2011, along with a free demo version.

It was released for other android devices on the 8th of October 2011.[3]

Objective and Gameplay

The objective of the game remains the same as its original PC and Xbox counterparts, where players can build virtual realities in a sandbox-like environment.

The gameplay of the pocket edition is akin to that of the Creative gamemode, with minor differences such as having several of the blocks from the Beta version of the game. A video of an early prototype was released on Twitter,[4] showing the game on the Xperia PLAY. The alpha version has recently been released, and as of October 8 is no longer exclusive to Xperia PLAY. The non-exclusive version was going to be released on September 29th for Android[5] but there were several severe bugs that needed to be fixed; the release was delayed until the 8th of October. A version for iOS devices is coming before 2012.[6]

According to Aron Nieminen, the system requirements are:

  • Android 2.1 or later
  • The phone must have a CPU that supports floating-point calculations ("ARM-v7a code")
  • The screen must support multi-touch

Aron says that the CPU called "MSM7227" is NOT supported, which unfortunately is in a lot of smartphone models[7].

According to Kappiche, pocket edition won't work with phones that suck[8] - this refers to phones that have under 1GHz processor and Android version lower than 2.3.[9]
