Hostility Level (Hostile)

An endermite is a hostile 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 endermites. Because an endermite is a hostile mob, it will attack you in Survival mode but not Creative mode.

Health Points

In Minecraft, an endermite has 4 hearts heart for health. This gives an endermite 8 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill an endermite, you need to inflict 8 points of damage to the endermite.

Where to Find Endermites

In Minecraft, you can find endermites in the End dimension.

If you haven't been to the End, you need to build an End Portal to take you to the End. When you walk through an End Portal, it will transport you between the Overworld and the End. This is what an End Portal looks like:

When you are in the End dimension, endermites will sometimes spawn when endermen teleport. Endermites will also spawn sometimes if you teleport using an ender pearl. This makes teleportation dangerous in the End dimension.

If you are having trouble finding an endermite, you can also summon an endermite using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.

Weapon

An endermite does not carry a weapon.

Attack Method

In Minecraft, an endermite move towards you and tries to hit you when it attacks.
