Enderman

The mechanics of Enderman's behavior and attacks were invented by Notch, but he considered them not scary enough.

Therefore, mechanics have been added to the already presented Enderman model, in which the Enderman will freeze if the game character looks at him, and becomes aggressive if you look away from him, and will also have the ability to teleport.

• With these characteristics, Enderman were added to Minecraft in version 1.8 Pre-release. In this version, Enderman could lift and carry any game blocks (including spawner and bedrock). They had green eyes, emitted smoke particles, had a set of zombie sounds, and burned in sunlight.
• In version 1.8 of the Pre-release, Enderman began to emit purple particles and got purple eyes. At the same time, Notch stated that the Enderman's ability to carry any blocks was a mistake, so the Enderman can no longer lift non-received blocks, including bedrock, double slabs and spawners, as well as blocks with inventory, including furnaces, distributors and chests. He can still lift all the other blocks.
• In the Official release of Java Edition in Beta 1.9 Prerelease-3, Enderman have increased the number of health points: 40 (20 hearts) instead of 20 (10 hearts).
• In Beta 1.9 Prerelease-4, it was decided to make the Edge where they appear in large numbers the native dimension of Enderman. They also stopped burning in the sun, but teleport in search of shadows or disappear. In the same version, the Enderman got their own set of sounds.
• In version 1.8, Enderman teleport after taking damage, walking speed is increased.
• In version 1.9, Enderman dropped a block that was in their hands at the time of death, an attack animation was added.
• Starting from version 1.10, Enderman can spawn in the Lower World, they can move the infernal stone.
• Starting from version 1.11, Enderman will take damage from a water bubble.
• Since version 1.16, Enderman have started to spawn in the valley of the sand of souls and distorted biomes.

Enderman is a neutral mob with a health of 40 units (20 hearts on the health scale). The strength of his attack depends on the difficulty level of the game:

• Easy level: 4 (2 hearts)
• Normal level: 7 (3.5 hearts)
• Hardcore: 10 (5 hearts).

The size of his hitbox differs depending on the state of the Enderman:

At rest, it is 2.9 blocks high, 0.6 blocks wide.

In a state of aggression or attack, the height is 3.25 blocks, the width is 0.6 blocks.

It can spawn in any of the measurements at a light level less than 7.

After death, he drops 5 experience points and sometimes a pearl of the Edge.

The Enderman usually wanders around the world, teleporting in random directions. Uses teleportation to avoid contact with water, sunlight and projectiles. Sometimes he moves some blocks from place to place, holding them in his hands.

The Enderman will start attacking the player if he looks at him for a while or attacks him first.

If the player shows aggression towards the Enderman or looks at him, the Enderman opens his mouth, starts shaking, and makes "screaming" sounds. As soon as the player stops looking at the Enderman, the Enderman teleports towards the player to attack. The Enderman always attacks from the back, causing quite a lot of damage.

Enderman's attack stops:

• After the death of the player.
• If the player killed the Enderman.
• The Enderman was distracted by another mob or external factors (rain or fire).

Player's attack, water, lava, spray from a water bottle, rain, some effects.

The endermites, snow and iron golems will attack the Enderman. At the same time, the Enderman will not attack the snow golem in response.

Enderman only attack endermites that are within 64 blocks of Enderman.

• Enderman, due to their tall stature, can climb the block without jumping.
• The player will not be able to sleep in bed at night if an Enderman is nearby, despite the fact that he is considered a neutral mob.
• If the player is already asleep in bed, the Enderman can teleport to it and thereby wake the player up.
• If a player has a carved pumpkin on his head, the Enderman will not attack the player, even if he looked at him.
• It is impossible to hit the Enderman with a projectile — he teleports before the projectile hits him. This makes an attack from a distance ineffective.
• The Enderman cannot teleport when he is in a cart or boat, although he will try to do so in the rain, but will always be teleported back several times until the moment of death.
• The Enderman cannot pick up blocks on a completely flat area.
• The Enderman's eyes are a separate texture and glow in the dark. If the Enderman is invisible, then the eyes will still be visible.
• Enderman are the only mobs in the game who can open their mouths without switching to another texture. This is due to the fact that in order to open his mouth, it is enough for him to move the skull above the jaw.
