Who is the Enderman in Minecraft? Review of monsters, enemies, bosses in Minecraft. Enderman (Enderman) Enderman I am the master

N.B. At first I didn’t plan to translate this and many other articles about Minecraft mobs or blocks. However, yesterday it happened small discussion, where I had to give explanations about the translation into Russian of some names from the game. And then I thought that it would be possible to translate such articles, supplementing them with comments on the translation of the term. Of course, if there is something to comment on.

Meet the Enderman

Don't give your eyes free rein!

Do you like the picture at the beginning of the article? Enjoy because this is the safest way to look at an enderman. This long-armed, long-legged mob is darker than night in color, with purple eyes, and is ready to fight any champion of the staring game. He can often be found in End or Nether, but can occasionally be encountered in the overworld. And even rarer are players who, having met him, were able to look him in the eye and survive...

This mob shows aggression if you attack it first (which you don’t have to do) or if you just look at it (oh, wow...). Considering that he can chase you and teleport, avoiding any obstacles, then listen to our friendly advice: no need to stare at him! Write this on your forehead to remember. And don’t forget to thank him later.

“Enderman was created by Notch based on the Slenderman meme that was popular on the Internet at the time. This is truly the scariest mob in the game, which is also very strong. Initially he had green eyes, therefore the objects related to it are also green. Then, one morning, Notch said to me: “Oh, I corrected the color of my eyes, they should be purple.” And I said: “Okay,” and then the whole day I thought - why? *laughs* I think it's because the portal particles and the portal itself are purple. But I never got an explanation - in fact, I didn’t ask because it seemed obvious to Notch!”
Jens Bergensten

It is noteworthy that the End dimension was already conceived after since the enderman was added to the game, so the similarity of names is just a scary coincidence. But not as scary as the expectation that an enderman could be hiding somewhere nearby right now, waiting for the moment I finish typing and look back...

That's all. We had to glue our eyes shut - better than to regret later...

How Enderman tried to remain Enderman

About title translation

It seems to me that the translation of the word Enderman turned out to be main reason, why the translation of the game differs in many ways from the translation performed by the wiki community. Having once failed to agree on this word, both sides did not try to find a common language for a long time.

It all started when the Enderman was added to the game. It had a working title of Farlander, and on the wiki it was suggested to call it “black skeleton” or “stick insect”. But not a single name took root until the appearance of the End dimension. But the players calmly used the transliteration - “enderman”.

And it was difficult to imagine that it could be different.

But then the “edge” happened. On October 13, 2011, a member of the Creep wiki community suggested the word "Edge" as a translation for the name of the dimension "End". This translation was approved by the wiki administration, and the player community was divided into two parts. Those who began their acquaintance with the game by reading articles on the wiki were surprised to discover the Ender Dragon instead of the Ender Dragon and the Enderman instead of the Ender. And those who studied the world in the game were perplexed to understand what the first ones were talking about.

It was never possible to agree on the term, and at some point in time they simply came to terms with this situation.

However, at some point in time, the term "Enderman" was given more weight by the developers themselves. They defined a list of words that cannot be translated - i.e. They can be translated into Russian only by transliteration. This list also includes terms based on the words “End” and “Ender”, which means “Enderman” can only be “enderman”.

Land Wanderer

The Enderman (literally a man from the Edge), or enderman, is a neutral mob that was added to the game in the Adventure Update. The first screenshot of him was published by Notch in a post on Google+ and captioned as Enderman. This mob is one of the tallest mobs in Minecraft: its height is equal to three blocks. The wanderer's home world is the Edge dimension. Purple particles, similar to those that float near the portal to the Nether World, always appear around the Ender. Present in all three dimensions.

Behavior

Usually, the Ender wanderer behaves like a neutral mob: he walks aimlessly around the territory (sometimes taking blocks, later placing them in another place) and making sounds similar to crunching, but under certain circumstances his attitude towards the player can change dramatically. The condition of his hostility is quite unusual: during the day, like a spider, he will not attack the player unless he attacks him, but at night, if the player looks at him (directly, and not through glass or a glass panel), that is, he will aim his sight at this mob, then the Ender wanderer will begin to look at the protagonist in response until the player himself looks away, after which he will either quickly run or teleport a short distance (teleportation frequency is once per second) behind his back and hit him quite hard, at the same time, it opens its “jaws” (which can be seen under a certain lighting angle). If you look at him and move away or get close to him, then at a distance of two blocks he will teleport behind the player and begin an attack. If an Ender is sitting in a trolley, he can neither attack nor teleport. It is also worth noting that the Wanderer can rush at the player from a great distance. The main thing is to be with a weapon in your hands and keep the Land Wanderer at gunpoint.

If the player has a pumpkin on his head, the Ender will not attack no matter how the player looks at him and, in addition, he will lose the ability to teleport. The same is true for the player in the boat.

The Landwalker takes damage while in water, rain, and even snowfall. Therefore, having found himself in such conditions, he immediately teleports to a safe place.

The Ender appears in dark caves and at night, and quite rarely. The Endwalker appears more often in the End biome.

Transferring blocks

The Ender can collect, carry and install blocks. This mob spawns without any blocks in its hands, but can collect some blocks. In his hands, any block is slightly larger than in the player’s hands. Pre-release research indicated that the Enderwalker could even harvest bedrock, but later tests and code breaks indicate that this has been fixed. List of what the Land wanderer could lift and place:

Cobblestone

Gold Ore

Iron ore

Coal Ore

Wood

Lapis lazuli ore

Lapis lazuli block

Sandstone

Dandelion

Glowing Red Ore

Hell stone

Sand of souls

Glowstone

After Beta 1.8, Notch announced that he would change the way Endwalkers interact with blocks. As of Beta 1.9-pre2, the Ender can only lift the following blocks:

Dandelion

Brown mushroom

red mushroom

Clay block

Jack-o'-lantern

After adding some blocks in 1.7, Endwalkers can now lift the following blocks:

Red sand

Sunflower

rose bush

Dandelion

Tulips

Houstonia gray

Blue orchid

Brown mushroom

red mushroom

Clay block

Jack-o'-lantern

Interesting Facts

The Endwalker's eyes are a separate texture, just like the spider's eyes. They also glow in the dark. To prevent the wanderer from teleporting during blows, he needs to be hit on the legs. The original name “Enderman” is a reference to the Internet meme “Skinny Man / Slender Man”. Perhaps this particular name was given to this mob because of its similarity to the hero of horror stories. This name for the mob was invented by Notch on the Minecraft Reddit thread. Due to his resemblance to Slenderman, many asked to rename him Farlander (“From-Far-Lands”). But Notch wrote that he would definitely not change the name of the mob to Farlander, but rather rename the Distant Lands to “The End”. In the PAX Beta 1.8 demo version, diamonds fell out of the Ender wanderer; in subsequent versions, Ender pearls fell out of him, which at first had no use. In the Beta 1.8-pre1 version, the trajectory of the Ender wanderer's attack and movement is very confusing - he moves both AT the player and FROM the player, and even BEHIND the player, and often receives damage from such maneuvers (crashing into walls, falling from cliffs, coming into the light (before Beta 1.9-pre2), falling into water, etc.). Before Beta 1.9pre2, the Ender was burning in the sun. Skeletons and zombies can survive during the day while in water; the Ender wanderer was deprived of such a way of salvation. The Ender wanderer cannot be killed with a bow. He teleports away from the arrow before it hits him. If you shoot an arrow with an effect from a bow, the Endwalker will receive the effect of the arrow, despite dodging the arrow. If the wanderer has nowhere to teleport (for this, for example, you can create walls of water or remove all the blocks around), then the arrows will bounce off him. The End Wanderer has the ability to open his mouth. In its texture, the jaws are separated from the skull, and it opens its mouth by moving the skull above the jaws. Thus, the Ender is the first mob that can physically open its mouth without switching to a different texture. In version Beta 1.8-pre2, the eyes and smoke of the Ender wanderer were repainted purple. The Ender wanderer's eye color changed three times during its creation, first the pupils were pale blue, then they became green, and by the final Beta 1.8 they were recolored purple. Falling from high altitude into water, an Ender wanderer can survive by teleporting at the moment of contact with water. Can teleport only if he is in a space greater than 3 blocks (the wanderer's volume). When a block edge wanderer places a block, it is not checked whether it can be placed on a given block. Therefore, they can place flowers and cacti on the “wrong” blocks. If, say, for a mob farm or something similar you needed to put a cactus in a “forbidden” place, accumulate several stacks of cactus on the automatic cactus farm, cover them with several stacks of sand and leave the game for a few hours. When wanderers randomly scatter cacti, remove the extra ones. It would be reasonable to tie the farm to the place where the cactus ended up, that is, to actually build it around the point where you were lucky enough to break the restrictions.

Attention! If you update such a block, it will fall out, so you need to act carefully.

The first official screenshot showing this mob

Minecraft is a game in which mobs are divided into three types: harmless, neutral and aggressive. The former will not attack the player under any circumstances, even if they are in danger of death, because they are simply incapable of causing harm. Neutral mobs calmly move around the world and go about their business, focusing on the player until he provokes them. Some of these characters require you to get too close, some require you to hit them. But if you provoked a neutral mob, then it will behave as aggressive. In turn, an aggressive mob, as soon as it sees the player, will immediately begin to attack him. Therefore, you will have to take the fight if he notices you. Each class has its own outstanding examples, but the most interesting thing is to disassemble the enderman, who is the most interesting not only among neutrals, but also, most likely, of all mobs in principle. Who is the Enderman in Minecraft?

Land Wanderer

Officially, this mob is called the Ender, but gamers most often call it the Enderman. The fact is that this is exactly the name he bears in the English version of the game. It appeared because of the place where this mob originates. Enderman in Minecraft appears most often in a world called the Edge, which in the English version is called End. Accordingly, gamers more often call the mod an enderman, and its place of origin is End. So, you can meet him at almost every turn in the End, but he also appears in the ordinary world, where meeting him can be very dangerous. What is an enderman in Minecraft? Why is he so dangerous?

Enderman Features

The first thing you will notice when you see what an enderman looks like in Minecraft is his height. The fact is that in this game this mob is the tallest. Its height is equal to three blocks. All other creatures, including himself main character, have noticeably less growth. The enderman's fearsome appearance is given by his coal and glowing appearance. However, one is afraid of him because of appearance it makes no sense. Much worse is how he behaves towards the player, being a neutral mob. Having experienced this, you will want to know how to tame an enderman in Minecraft, but, unfortunately, this is impossible to do. So you will have to either move very carefully, or prepare for a fierce fight.

Enderman behavior

As mentioned above, the Enderman is a neutral mob that will not touch you as long as you do not touch it. How to make an enderman aggressive in Minecraft? To do this, all you have to do is hit him, and he will immediately begin to attack you back. But this only applies during daylight hours. You can simply avoid this mob and it will not touch you. But everything changes when night falls. Here you won't even need to approach the enderman to anger him. As soon as you aim at him, that is, look at him, he will look back at you, after which he will teleport behind you and begin to attack. This is why you better not make eye contact with endermen at night. If this does happen, then you need to try to keep the enemy at gunpoint so that he cannot teleport behind you again.

Other Enderman Features

In addition to this unusual behavior at night, the enderman is also famous for its tendency to rearrange blocks. This mob wanders aimlessly around the world, periodically selecting a block and moving it to a new location, after walking around with it for a while. Enderman can carry almost any block that exists in the game. He looks especially funny with a dandelion in his hands.

Endermen (Wanderers of the Land) are neutral mobs, not aggressive. They are only capable of showing hostility in the event of direct provocation, when the player begins to hit or attack them.

Ways to tame an Enderman

The Enderman is a fairly powerful mob, so Minecraft players have repeatedly thought about methods for taming it so that it would become useful and protect the character. Making this mob your assistant is very difficult, in some cases, almost impossible.

You should be patient and prepare for the fact that your player’s efforts may remain fruitless, and there will be numerous attempts.

The most important thing is to be careful and follow these tips:

• The first thing you need to know: never look the Land Wanderer straight in the eye. He perceives this action as an attack and begins to show aggression.
• Approach the mob in small steps. As dawn approaches, he becomes quite passive, but do not get too close to him, since the Enderman is, above all, a dangerous character. When he makes a threatening sound, run away.
• Try to feed the Land Wanderer. It is necessary to initially stock up on bird meat and constantly keep it in your hands. There is no guarantee that a hostile Enderman can be tamed in this way, but you can try and see the result.

It is worth noting that the Minecraft game does not provide the possibility of taming the Wanderer, but for a modern player this is not a problem: numerous methods and attempts to make the Enderman a friend, someday, can become successful.
