Thoughts on the Enderman

One of the new mobs that will soon be on minecraft will be the Enderman

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Enderman

From what I know the Enderman goes as follows

Three Meters Tall (3 blocks)
Able to pick up blocks
Slow-Very Fast speed

Attack: Will mind its own business and will move relatively slowly
until it makes eye contact with you and stares
if it Stares, it has targeted you and you need to prepare to fight
Running is useless because the Enderman teleports then sprints to you if you look away and attacks

Honestly i think this is creepy, and i just might have nightmares over the concept and not the mob

So do you think this new mob will be annoying or just there?

Hmm seems inspired by The weeping angels from the Doctor Who series, i just hope they dont spawn in caves (they probably will D:)

i hope they do spawn at night rather than day and can teleport through walls that might bring more challenge to the game BUT IM STILL CREEPED THE FUCK OUT

Heres my thoughts...

Able to pick up blocks = Annoying. If they pick up blocks from your house then it gets frustrating.

(Rumor)Able to make contact if Pumpkin hat is on = YES. Perfecto.

And I would actually want to see some actually use to this new mob, other than to scare the shit out of you. :/

Faron luckily none of us have a blue box...

I think the eyes on the Enderman needs to be a more terrifying color

or the power to stare into your soul

Their eyes should glow in the dark, like spiders, but brighter and more creeping to your soul.

if it takes blocks from houses that means i will have to make my house a couple layers...

I just hope there isn't a mobspawner for these guys, depending on how strong they are it would be very annoying trying to break it without accidentally hovering your crosshair over them.

I've already decided that maze + Endermen = terrifyingly awesome idea.

It really depends on if the Enderman will be a rare mob or not. If it only shows up at night, then cool. However, if it spawns as much as the creepers, then we could have a problem...

That will....be terrifying xD.....I'll just be minding my own business mining coal in a cave, then it will be like the freaking witch. Imma wear a pumpkin thats fo' sho'

I will never leave my house again without a bow and arrow.

I'm not sure if people have read the update on them but wearing a pumpkin on your head will take away the hostility of moving your mouse over them, the draw back is that it really cuts back your sight, having only the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin to look through.

^ thats y u customize a texture pack to not have that

See stealthy gets it

problem how do u change the pumkin image

This should prove to be an interesting challenge, so do we know if the Enderman can remove blocks from our homes?

You probably won't have to worry about them to much, especially if the drop info is correct. Either they will be very hard to kill, will only spawn very far down, or will not spawn much. Apparently upon death they drop 0-2 diamonds.

The diamond part kind of makes it all worth it, even if they can teleport to you instantly

Sounds like a mob that will just be there, in my opinion. You never know, they might be rare to see, like slimes.

razor slimes arnt rare :I they just have special chunks that are hard to find

The enderman are rare as hell it seems. http://www.twitch.tv/realnotch/b/293537610

That new lightning, larger oceans, creative mode, adventure mode, notch cheating, sexy mineshaft randomly generated, and new biome code looks sexy.

Well, they're rare to me, then again I usually only play on multiplayer severs.
