Hostility Level (Neutral)
An enderman is a neutral mob. The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and endermen. Because an endermen is a neutral mob, it will only attack you in Survival mode if you look at the enderman in the eyes or attack the enderman first. It will never attack you in Creative mode.
Health Points
In Minecraft, an enderman has 20 hearts for health. This gives an enderman 40 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill an enderman, you need to inflict 40 points of damage to the enderman.
Where to Find an Enderman
In Minecraft, you can find endermen in most Overworld biomes in light levels of 7 or less. You can also find enderman in the End dimension in large numbers.
Once an enderman has spawned in the dark, it can survive in the daylight. An enderman will die in the rain.
If you are having trouble finding an enderman, you can summon an enderman using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.
Weapon
An enderman does not carry a weapon.
Attack Method
An enderman uses teleportation when attacking you. It will teleport near you, try to hit you and then teleport away when you try to attack it back.
TIP #1: Do not attack the enderman with a bow and arrow. The enderman will teleport away before the arrow reaches its target.
TIP #2: If you attack an enderman, try to find a location where your back is against something solid so that the enderman can not teleport behind you and catch you by surprise.
Drops
When you kill an enderman in Minecraft, it will drop an ender pearl.
Make sure you pick up any dropped items before they disappear. They are useful and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
Experience Points
As you play the game, you will gain experience. The most common way to gain experience is by killing mobs. When a mob is killed you will see tiny green and yellow balls appear and move towards you.
These orbs represent experience points. When you kill an enderman, you will gain 5 experience points.
Special Skills
The enderman can teleport. If you try to look at an enderman, it will immediately teleport into a different location. This teleport skill makes an enderman very difficult to kill.
Also, an enderman can pick up and move blocks. So often times, when you do catch a glimpse of an enderman, you will see it carrying a block.
Spawn Egg for Enderman
You can spawn an enderman using the following spawn egg:
