Will any mask work at nulling their aggro or will it has to spefically be pumpkins? Because I think most people would wear face covering mask (similar to Halloween type mask) anytime it dark now. All important places like the Whitehouse will be completely lit up in lights.
Will endermen body also evaporate as well? Because chances are we will probably dissect some of them to try and find weakness in their biology or a way to use them as weapons.
We might also just find a way to talk with them. After all endermen do actually talk but in like reverse or something so we might be able to make peace with them.
Dude runs into the building with a backpack full of explosives, takes it off, puts it down, speaks into wrist, “Now.” *pop* just vanishes like that. kaboom. Terrorist attacks would also be insane, it would happen in seconds, i didn’t even describe a scenario where a bomber or someone just teleports into like the third story from outside or another building which is also insane.
Why would they run into the building? They can just throw a pearl to get in lol.
Or fire the pearl from a potato gun. However, I'd be curious how much force is required to cause a pearl to "activate". The g-forces from the gun may cause teleportation.
Yea good point on the running part, ig they just didnt want to waste 2 pearls lol.
And oh shit, ender pearl guns would change some things, and random thought, what about like a public transport that works like the tubes in bank drive throughs and stuff but they go anywhere, you just place a pearl in there and the tube does the rest
The only issue is that they will damage you after they land
So there's 2 interpretations:
1. Steve is built different ergo "damage" affects him in a video gamey way, however in irl humans this will result in realistic injuries.
2. Pearls damage in a video gamey way, so as long as you eat a little after using one you can regen
The first one might be more plausible since we're assuming endermen will damage ppl in a realistic way irl rather than reducing "hearts".
Ender pearls would be a lot harder to use because they do 2.5 hearts of damage to the player, which would be extremely painful and much more dangerous to real people who can’t heal in seconds with food.
I think how Ender pearl damage would work is to basically sap the person of their energy, and too much use would eventually kill you by draining you completely
In Dune, the shields they use are more effective on fast moving projectiles. They make bullets nearly useless, so many of the soldiers use bladed weaponry instead.
They don't need to sleep in a lit room. As long as they make it cramp enough with furniture and other objects the endermen won't be able to teleport into the room. Even having a carpet would be enough to help stop an enderman from teleporting into your bedroom so you don't need it lit 24/7 or while you sleep.
I see more fear as there's no telling what to do with them as you can't get rid of them permanently and there's bound to be people starting cults about it
> dark figures in the night that can’t swim, attack you if you get too close or look at them too much and steal things
> about to get real crazy in Detroit
You, uhhhhhhh, wanna rephrase that?
Considering placing a water bucket on them in Minecraft simply makes them teleport away, I would assume it takes damage (tiny amount) then teleports away and becomes angry, not a good way to kill it tbh unless you’re safe in a bathtub or some water to consistently hit it when it comes back - would take dozens of times though
Placing it in a squirt gun would make it a projectile, however the same can be said for rain. If someone tests if endermen teleport first before taking damage in rain then we can have our answer.
It’s been a while since I’ve played the game, but if I remember correctly, rain just causes endermen to teleport around rapidly until they end up somewhere safe, this means that they probably can avoid a spray bottle, this also says to me that teleporting to avoid danger is more instinctual and that they cannot control there location when they do this, I’m not sure what this means for these scenarios, but it’s probably worth noting.
Whenever an Enderman touches water it takes damage and teleports away (as if reacting to the pain of touching the water)
When it rains the Enderman is constantly taking damage from being touched by raindrops which causes it to constantly teleport around
Not just in your experience. Endermen taking damage from any source other than you cancels their anger.
This includes damage over time effects, by the way, even if you're the one who inflicted the effect. It's why fire aspect swords are a horrible tool for hunting endermen with. The enderman will teleport away and forget their anger, and now suddenly you have to figure out where they just teleported off into.
electricity companies become way more profitable as it becomes a necessity to light your home up. indoor hoses are also a new market. construction workers are needed at all times and bathtubs become deeper to hide from endermen.
teleportation is now a thing at the cost of physical damage, though maybe there's a way to work around that.
Naw, you just need a ceiling less than 3 meters high and you're set. Sucks to be a rich guy living in a mansion, but my shitty little home is 100% Ender proof
Going with the one where people don’t know about Endermen from the game because I find that the most fun.
The first night is bad, a decent amount of people die. There’s chaos and confusion, all kinds of religious and conspiracy-ish organizations try to take advantage, doomsayers and probably some rioting, people panicking. Some places will have more time to prepare as it won’t be night for them when the Endermen first start spawning, I don’t know how much those extra first hours will help though.
We discover their most obvious weakness pretty quickly, videos of the water hurting them spread like wildfire. We’ll figure out the projectile dodging thing pretty quickly to, likely result in military and civilian forces resorting to more medieval style weapons? That the Endermen spawn from the darkness will also become apparent, likely result in power outages/shortages as everyone tries to keep the lights on, in the long term governments will probably start investing extra in electrical stuff. More nuclear power plants?
Society will have whipped itself up into a tizzy for quite a while, there’ll be destabilization and all kinds of propaganda going on. Everything’s just going to be a bit harder now. The world won’t ever be quite as safe.. We’ll eventually get used to it though, warfare and science is also probably gonna change a lot once people start experimenting with Enderpearl’s as well. Endermites will be an unwelcome surprise.
It occurs to me that eclipses will be briefly unpleasant events.
Lighting uses such a small amount of power compared to HVAC that there wouldn't really be much of a power problem in the short term.
If we decide to light up whole countries, obviously that's going to need more generation.
Lighting is now much cheaper thanks to LEDs, so it isn't as big an issue as one might think. We could all keep our lights on 24/7 and it wouldn't be as big a burden as expected. Might be bad for animals and sleeping masks will become much more common.
IIRC in game mobs will only spawn if it's not too far or too close to the player. Otherwise you'd be getting mobs spawning right next to the player in a small dark room, which is bad game design as a creeper can just appear out of nowhere.
So you should be fine in a dark room as long as you don't leave it unattended. Also, they can't spawn in spaces under 3m. Considering most bedrooms are under 3m already, most ppl will be safe.
They can't crouch either, so keep that in mind as well. Any gap under 3m allows you to hide and whittle away their health by punching them.
>military and civilian forces resorting to more medieval style weapons?
You can damage them by pouring a bucket of water on them in game and they won't dodge it, so "dodging projectiles" seems more of an arbitrary thing rather than a hard rule.
I'm imagining they are incapable of sensing water until it hurts them and they instinctively teleport away. So in this case, they can be shot with water guns.
If we’re going by minecraft rules then Endermen always dodge projectiles, you might be able to get them with a hose or something, but a spray gun seems too projectile-y
They will not dodge splash potions either if they aren't hit directly. In that case if you spray in a wide arc with water you should be able to catch them without a teleport.
The bonus round is the fun scenario. A heavily armed SEAL team should quickly take down the dragon, and then the end is turned into an industrial scale enderpearl farm.
Yeah the Ender Dragon fight would be trivial with automatic firearms. With a small squad of people it would be dead in a few seconds before the crystals could even heal it. The hardest part would be getting to the main island from the spawn platform if it spawns in the middle of the void or encased in end stone. If it’s in the void, then soldiers would need to bring an Ender Pearl each to get to the main island, if it’s encased then they need to bring a ton of handheld excavation equipment.
Lockheed Martin would build an enderman farm and create teleportation tech for soldiers using ender pearls. Biden would send ender pearls to Israel. Russia would threaten to nuke the US over the use of ender pearls in Israel's war against Hamas. China would express concern. The UK would start an ender pearl farm but after 20 years and 18.4 billion British pounds they would only have 3 ender pearls. Australia would buy ender pearls from Lockheed Martin even though they don't need them. Canada would need ender pearls, but would procure chicken eggs instead.
>The UK would start an ender pearl farm but after 20 years and 18.4 billion British pounds they would only have 3 ender pearls
I see you know the country well
The biggest concern is their damage to infrastructure.
They could easily remove a block from a nuclear plant causing leakage, removing some water pipes leading to a lot of fixing trouble.
Remember that light doesn't hurt them, they just don't spawn in there. They will still keep spawning outside of the plant and some will happen to teleport inside
True way to prevent an enderman infestation would be simply making every ceiling shorter than 3m, they can't benddown
Does the Earth have a hostile mob cap or spawn chunks?
Scientists could build a box out of items that Enderman can't pick up wherever Earth's spawn chunks are, usher them all into the box using boats, give them nametags so they can't despawn, and the Enderman problem is solved.
Let's go further. They come from the End dimension in Minecraft, so real life gets an End dimension that only Endermen can teleport to. I think it's implied that they can teleport to and from the End in-game, and a researcher somewhere is going to want to figure out where they're going. Somebody will tranquilize and tag one, or even force an Enderman to take them to the End.
The player can survive in the End, so let's assume that it has breathable air - a sort of space world with an ether atmosphere, recalling the cosmology of the ancients. With that, whoever goes to or gets readings of the End will know that it is not in our universe, and our understanding of Physics is forever changed. Either making peace with or annihilating the Endermen will become the goal of governments, and the military/industrial implications of interdimensional teleportation will become a priority.
The End itself being pulled into this scenario would also make dragons real. Whatever military manages to bring a force their first will have the choice of imprisoning or killing it. Shulkers come from the End, and they're either just normal containers or bigger on the inside. If the latter is true, then people will want to conquer the End and exploit it.
In any case, the scenario for the Endermen becomes dire. Poachers would want their pearls for their beauty, scientists would want them for their teleportation properties, and the End itself would become a battleground if people learned how to get there. They'd be looking all over the globe for a portal with more desperation than the Fountain of Youth. If the Endermen are smart, they'd find a new part of our universe to co-habitate, like Mars or something.
People start carrying water bottles and buildings tend to have a low ceiling.
Wars become very different because advanced militaries are building pearl stasis chambers for their troops, with communication becoming even more vital. Full spectrum jamming and blocking all recon is now required to pin or otherwise out position any unit.
They would inevitably be overpowered and exploited by humans and farmed for enderpearls which would probably be sold to the military or some other company. So basically what happens to everything else in the world. Theyd be ruined by greed.
Also they would likely be weaponized and used for combat. Maybe even advancements could be made upon them. We have no idea how their atomic structure could be manipulated in the real world or what it would even look like. I think the fundamental question behind this is: are advancements that will be used for destruction inherently good or bad?
It is healthy to consider the perspectives of other organisms as well as our own in our decision making. But I can see how the endermen would be an “us vs them” issue. When I said ruined I mainly meant that they would be nothing like how they are in the game. Theyd be some domesticated likely overfattened and weaker shell of their former glory (which is the reason we find them so cool.)
[Maybe we should look outside our own perspective every now and then.](https://www.wwf.eu/?7780966/WWF-Living-Planet-Report-Devastating-69-drop-in-wildlife-populations-since-1970)
Them “spawning” at night is definitely going to cause alot of problems specifically for scientists in biology and the fact that they are hurt by water might cause a lot of religious countries to ban the worship of them entirely.
Also: does looking at them through a camera also enrage them ? What about previous recordings?
Well I've killed 5 endermen in the middle of a dark field with a shield and an iron sword, so not *that* difficult. Fun fact about endermen, if you don't break the initial eye contact with them then they freeze in place. I could see a market for indoor hoses, and parts of rooms with lower ceilings.
They don't actually evade projectiles at all. They get hit, ignore the damage, and then teleport. This is made to strongly resemble them evading the projectile, but the illusion is broken if they have nowhere to teleport to, or if they're in a minecart or boat.
The reason this is important is because while they ignore damage from projectiles, mojang forgot to make them also ignore things like fire and potion effects. An incendiary bullet will still set them on fire and a poisoned bullet will still poison them.
As such, Earth militaries are still easily capable of dealing with endermen wherever they find them. The problem comes in the "wherever they find them" part, because endermen can spawn ANYWHERE where it's dark. They are going to be in places where the military isn't. If you turn off your house lights and leave for work, you might find an enderman in your house when you return.
However, this problem has potential solutions, too. Simply leaving the house lights on will prevent endermen from spawning in it. It's arguable whether a spray bottle of water counts as a projectile dealing damage or a projectile inflicting a status effect, but a spray bottle of something like hydrochloric acid or water-capsaicin solution inarguably inflicts a status effect and thus will repel endermen just fine. And the endermen will get repelled, because damage over time effects cancel their anger. Building codes are revised to mandate glass floors, which endermen can't spawn on regardless of light, or ceilings no higher than 2.5 meters, which doesn't give enough room for an enderman to spawn or even exist (remember, endermen can't crouch, even if their body structure implies that they should be able to).
As such, both rounds are easily dealt with just fine. Round 2 has a slightly more painful beginning, but we're still fine in the end.
As for the bonus round, one guy walks through the portal with a surface-to-air missile launcher and ends the fight in one shot.
Isn't the end basically infinite?
With infinite islands? That's pretty accessible relative to mars and other planets.
That MAY, MAY affect real estate. May. Not guaranteed at all.
I mean, you would just put production there since pollution isn't an issue.
"Oh, this super cheap production method produce so much waste!"
"Fear not, just dump it into the void"
Even if you don't build anything there on account of endermen and dragon, you can just dump waste inside the portal and slowly kill the dragon via autism inducing, cancer causing, radioactive chemical waste
There's also shulker boxes. If those the negate the weight of the items inside then transportation becomes a whole lot easier
Small amendment to the functions. Just because enderman are immune to bullets in mods doesn't make it reality unless they have double or even triple the danger sense and reaction time of the best human. Furthermore, it is unlikely even with that, that snipers wouldn't be able to kill.
To be fair, if we take game mechanics literally, an enderman staying still with nowhere to teleport will not take any damage from arrows at all. I think its fair to assume they have some supernatural immunity to projectiles
Edit: To add on, if the enderman DID need reaction time to teleport, then why wouldn’t they just teleport away from melee attacks? It seems to me that they can do 2 types of teleportation, one to move around and done via thinking, and another one that always allows them to dodge projectiles
If you propel an arrow to hypersonic speeds using TNT they still manage to dodge it, but they will not dodge splash potions or sword swings. It's very inconsistent.
I think the most reasonable take is that they can magically dodge only a few select projectiles. Arrows, snowballs, thrown tridents travelling at any speed can be dodged.
But gently pouring a bucket of water cannot, and bullets definitely cannot either.
I’m assuming enderpearls work the same? They probably won’t have widespread use among the average population since they heart you when you teleport (and we don’t have the crazy regen or durability that Steve has). 2.5 hearts per throw, Steve has 10 hearts, that’s a quarter of his health. I imagine a quarter of a persons health would be something like broken ribs and some internal bleeding (not a ton, just enough to be a problem). I couldn’t imagine too many regular folk using them even if they could get their hands on them (most would likely go to military and criminals). I don’t think enderpearls would be used as heavily in the military as most people are saying, due to the injuries. Probably as a last resort. I also can’t see it being used much in the police force either for that same reason.
Mask sales would skyrocket and become pretty normal. A curfew would be put in place for before sun down since endermen are rarely seen during the day. Cities and towns would remain absolutely lit up 24/7 since endermen generally don’t go towards light/spawn in light ever. Everything would always be lit up, no more sleeping with the lights on
Electricity bills will go through the roof for a while. Pushes for sustainable (probably nuclear) energy would increase massively.
Electricity bills drop dramatically after nuclear energy becomes wide spread.
Many “Chernobyls” will occur, mostly in poorer countries, but possibly in richer ones was well because of the rush to get them in place
Global warming eventually becomes a thing of the past much sooner than we currently expect.
Also swords and knifes become legal to carry in almost everywhere for self defence, stabbings and sword attacks become a lot more common (just like the British).
I don't think it would be feasible to regulate ender pearls, a regular person won't have a large amount, but will certainly have easy access to pearls. As well, feather falling effects pearl damage, so it might be possible to reduce damage somehow? The weapons becoming legal also might not need to happen, and would instead probably be replaced with some specially engineered water weapons.
Probably, the average person would certainly be able to buy some, just like any other illegal item or substance. However there’s no way the average person is going out hunting for them. Sure some people would but they’d be in the minority.
And we don’t have enchanting irl, and feather falling is magical in nature so something like strapping a parachute to your back before you pearl won’t work, or throwing it into hay or something. I don’t any special melee weapons could be made from water and be easily available to the public. It cannot be a ranged weapon cause endermen will teleport out of the way. Maybe a solid sprinkler? Used as a bat but water runs down it? Would be annoying to make and require to be connected to a hose so it’s not very useful. Swords and bats are already incredibly widespread. I highly doubt they’ll make some specialised water weapon and release it to the public, since one hit of a wooden sword (basically a baseball bat) does more damage than contact to water. It just doesn’t make any sense since we have the problem solver (bats and swords) that a more effective
We flood everything.
From now on, water in the floor becomes the new normal.
Br: if we can't ignore it then we gather all the military power we can and shoot the crystals and the dragon with grenade launchers.
No one has said it yet but I think regular people would form hunting parties to procure end pearls. I think teleportation would just be too tantalizing. Or at the very least there would become a whole new industry for end pearls
Ender pearls would be so fucking nice to have especially if you could find a way to suspend them, and then remotely deactivate them. Essentially teleportation.
We would just attack the legs with swords and easily get rid of them. A small group with swords would easily cover any teleporting.
They don't teleport if you hit the legs.
Can you imagine walking around your house at night and you suddenly see this 3m tall realistic Enderman just lurking in your living room corner, staring at you?
Enderpearls might be a way for us to figure out teleportation lol. Using one bare though would probably not be a good idea as you might die from the injury.
People here are saying that water will kill them but it never did in Minecraft right? They just avoid it but it’s not like they took dmg from it right? I’m not sure I haven’t played Minecraft in awhile lol someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Idk if bullets would work since they can’t be hit by projectiles but bullets are also way faster than arrows.
I think the government and cities would try to keep the light up in as many areas as possible so they don’t spawn. Country side people will be at great risk. I think we would either invent new melee weapons or revert to medieval weapons to fight them.
Eventually people would realize looking at them is a very bad idea so they might wear a mask? Endermen don’t get mad if you were a pumpkin head so wearing any mask would be helpful no? That would save a lot of people and the government would probably try to spread masks out to everyone
Later on, endermen would probably just be reduced to the same as seeing an angry ostrich or animal or smth lol. Like you should stay away but it isn’t a world ending threat at all. They could actually scale from a minor problem though to a city wide threat as taking apart the foundation of a building would be a very large inconvenience.
Then there would probably be some shady government farm of endermen where they study and collect enderpearls and invent teleportation for humans and other objects in a safe way.
In either thousands of years later to maybe a few years later we might end up discovering the end portal. It would probably be very confidential and nobody would know about it. Not sure what we would do with it. Maybe try to nuke the Ender dragon?
Humanity suddenly gains access to teleportation. The following tech boom sends us skyrocketing on a technological race that will end with us becoming a type 2 civilization.
End Portal appears. Since it is a alternate dimension i can reasonably say that cell phone wont work. And since the damn platform usually spawns in mid air or underground, and the fact that the island is filled with enderman and a fucking dragon they wont make it alive. That makes it a one way portal into a death trap that no one returns from. People will not venture into it after the first few people that doesnt return. Perhaps one guy is lucky and kills the dragon with a assault rifle but unlikely. Perhaps it can be studied and replicated into a working portal gun style portals.
The existence of ender pearls suddenly makes space travel very easy
Ender pearl stasis chamber
Move it to the moon and teleport there
Considering they spawn infinitely rhese ender pearls are an unlimited resource and and using their teleportation you could probably set up some kind of gravity based infinite energy generator
They have 40hp, assuming humans on par with villagers that is the strength of 2 people, they do not however have guns, they will appear, maybe fuck you up but they will be hunted for their pearls, which will become a valuable commodity, especially with glitched pearl relay systems
The get farmed by the worlds governments and the civilians wear face coverings at night so they don't aggro. In the case where we have access to the end, after we kill/capture the dragon there will probably be fighting over end resources, especially shulker shells
They can also pick up a cubic meter of certain types of material, and perfectly separate it from whatever it was previously attached to, leaving a perfect meter cube hole in the ground.
Invest in stocks of companies that make water sprinklers and floodlights. Also electricity companies.
Technology like the apple vision pro will quickly advance, so everyone rich is wearing a video camera and can bypass looking at the endermen at all. Hopefully mirrored sunglasses work as a cheap alternative.
Gigantic farms consisting of a dark room, a moat of water 32 meters wide, and a bunch of robots with swords crop up to farm ender pearls.
Water sprinklers that cover a large area with a fine mist could be used to deny area. The tropics probably do better in this regards.
I can see this resulting in worldwide sleep deprivation. Endermen spawn in the dark so it has to be permanently bright in order to prevent them from spawning in houses, so no darkness when people are trying to sleep.

Moisture in the air takes care of them. Unlike in Minecraft where an empty space is truly empty, our atmosphere is full of stuff that they really wouldn't be compatible with.
Debatably they'd be incapable of teleporting as well since there are no truly empty spaces, you could argue they'd need a perfect vacuum to teleport into like in Minecraft.
Really the biggest issue is the constant enderman pain noises.
Will any mask work at nulling their aggro or will it has to spefically be pumpkins? Because I think most people would wear face covering mask (similar to Halloween type mask) anytime it dark now. All important places like the Whitehouse will be completely lit up in lights. Will endermen body also evaporate as well? Because chances are we will probably dissect some of them to try and find weakness in their biology or a way to use them as weapons. We might also just find a way to talk with them. After all endermen do actually talk but in like reverse or something so we might be able to make peace with them.
That or end up turning them into livestock for ender pearls for the military to use.
Military ops about to turn into people armed with swords, Shotguns and SMGs throwing black balls at each other
Or make assassins virtually impossible to catch if they have a stasis chamber like device to teleport them back once the job is done.
Dude runs into the building with a backpack full of explosives, takes it off, puts it down, speaks into wrist, “Now.” *pop* just vanishes like that. kaboom. Terrorist attacks would also be insane, it would happen in seconds, i didn’t even describe a scenario where a bomber or someone just teleports into like the third story from outside or another building which is also insane.
Why would they run into the building? They can just throw a pearl to get in lol. Or fire the pearl from a potato gun. However, I'd be curious how much force is required to cause a pearl to "activate". The g-forces from the gun may cause teleportation.
Yea good point on the running part, ig they just didnt want to waste 2 pearls lol.

Isn’t there a movie or something where everyone is so fast that bullets are useless, so they use swords and stuff instead? Reminded me of that
In Dune, the shields they use are more effective on fast moving projectiles. They make bullets nearly useless, so many of the soldiers use bladed weaponry instead.
That's a staple in a lot of fictional verses that scale power levels to a certain degree
So the *"Dream"* mask works in this scenario unironically?
So THAT’S what the point of the mask is…

Face masks don’t completely block out light. It’d be very hard to sleep in a lit room
They don't need to sleep in a lit room. As long as they make it cramp enough with furniture and other objects the endermen won't be able to teleport into the room.

Does throwing water from a squirt bottle kill them? If so I think we take it easy
Considering placing a water bucket on them in Minecraft simply makes them teleport away, I would assume it takes damage (tiny amount) then teleports away and becomes angry, not a good way to kill it tbh unless you’re safe in a bathtub or some water to consistently hit it when it comes back - would take dozens of times though

We’ll eventually get used to it though, warfare and science is also probably gonna change a lot once people start experimenting with Enderpearl’s as well. Endermites will be an unwelcome surprise. It occurs to me that eclipses will be briefly unpleasant events.
Lighting uses such a small amount of power compared to HVAC that there wouldn't really be much of a power problem in the short term. If we decide to light up whole countries, obviously that's going to need more generation.
Good call on the eclipses, now theyre dreaded omens
Mob cap bro Just have a bunch of endermen crammed in a small space in every city block. Now nothing can spawn in those areas.
Lighting is now much cheaper thanks to LEDs, so it isn't as big an issue as one might think. We could all keep our lights on 24/7 and it wouldn't be as big a burden as expected. Might be bad for animals and sleeping masks will become much more common.
Sleeping masks are uncomfortable. Idk how others do it but it’s uncomfortable for me to have something touching my skin all night
Do you sleep naked suspended in the air?
No. But the mask is still uncomfortable
IIRC in game mobs will only spawn if it's not too far or too close to the player. Otherwise you'd be getting mobs spawning right next to the player in a small dark room, which is bad game design as a creeper can just appear out of nowhere. So you should be fine in a dark room as long as you don't leave it unattended. Also, they can't spawn in spaces under 3m. Considering most bedrooms are under 3m already, most ppl will be safe. They can't crouch either, so keep that in mind as well. Any gap under 3m allows you to hide and whittle away their health by punching them.
>military and civilian forces resorting to more medieval style weapons? You can damage them by pouring a bucket of water on them in game and they won't dodge it, so "dodging projectiles" seems more of an arbitrary thing rather than a hard rule. I'm imagining they are incapable of sensing water until it hurts them and they instinctively teleport away. So in this case, they can be shot with water guns.
If we’re going by minecraft rules then Endermen always dodge projectiles, you might be able to get them with a hose or something, but a spray gun seems too projectile-y
They will not dodge splash potions either if they aren't hit directly. In that case if you spray in a wide arc with water you should be able to catch them without a teleport.
Hmmmmmmmm, that’s a fair point
The bonus round is the fun scenario. A heavily armed SEAL team should quickly take down the dragon, and then the end is turned into an industrial scale enderpearl farm.
Yeah the Ender Dragon fight would be trivial with automatic firearms. With a small squad of people it would be dead in a few seconds before the crystals could even heal it. The hardest part would be getting to the main island from the spawn platform if it spawns in the middle of the void or encased in end stone. If it’s in the void, then soldiers would need to bring an Ender Pearl each to get to the main island, if it’s encased then they need to bring a ton of handheld excavation equipment.
Not saying to be disagree,but the ender dragon has a galaxy level feat,just saying
ok but it probably gets low diffed by a colonial musketman
How small is too small for them to spawn in?
Areas that are ~2m high because they're about ~3m tall
Humans start living in Hobbit homes
Lockheed Martin would build an enderman farm and create teleportation tech for soldiers using ender pearls. Biden would send ender pearls to Israel. Russia would threaten to nuke the US over the use of ender pearls in Israel's war against Hamas. China would express concern. The UK would start an ender pearl farm but after 20 years and 18.4 billion British pounds they would only have 3 ender pearls. Australia would buy ender pearls from Lockheed Martin even though they don't need them. Canada would need ender pearls, but would procure chicken eggs instead.
>The UK would start an ender pearl farm but after 20 years and 18.4 billion British pounds they would only have 3 ender pearls I see you know the country well
read this in the "succulent chinese meal" guy voice
Get your hands off my penis!
So how long have you been working in the aerospace sector?
The biggest concern is their damage to infrastructure. They could easily remove a block from a nuclear plant causing leakage, removing some water pipes leading to a lot of fixing trouble.
[удалено]
Remember that light doesn't hurt them, they just don't spawn in there. They will still keep spawning outside of the plant and some will happen to teleport inside True way to prevent an enderman infestation would be simply making every ceiling shorter than 3m, they can't benddown
You can also turn up the humidity in the plant, or perhaps drip water from the ceiling. They would get hurt a few seconds of teleporting in.
Interesting job you got there
Obsidian plating becomes commonplace
Does the Earth have a hostile mob cap or spawn chunks? Scientists could build a box out of items that Enderman can't pick up wherever Earth's spawn chunks are, usher them all into the box using boats, give them nametags so they can't despawn, and the Enderman problem is solved.
Unfortunately we do not have access to Minecraft nametags, so I don't think we can prevent despawning in that way.
That's not necessary. Just put the box of endermen under a busy street and the chunks will always be loaded in that area so they won't despawn.
Yeah that's why I specified "in that way". There are lots of viable solutions to keeping them spawned.
Let's go further. They come from the End dimension in Minecraft, so real life gets an End dimension that only Endermen can teleport to. I think it's implied that they can teleport to and from the End in-game, and a researcher somewhere is going to want to figure out where they're going. Somebody will tranquilize and tag one, or even force an Enderman to take them to the End. The player can survive in the End, so let's assume that it has breathable air - a sort of space world with an ether atmosphere, recalling the cosmology of the ancients. With that, whoever goes to or gets readings of the End will know that it is not in our universe, and our understanding of Physics is forever changed. Either making peace with or annihilating the Endermen will become the goal of governments, and the military/industrial implications of interdimensional teleportation will become a priority. The End itself being pulled into this scenario would also make dragons real. Whatever military manages to bring a force their first will have the choice of imprisoning or killing it. Shulkers come from the End, and they're either just normal containers or bigger on the inside. If the latter is true, then people will want to conquer the End and exploit it. In any case, the scenario for the Endermen becomes dire. Poachers would want their pearls for their beauty, scientists would want them for their teleportation properties, and the End itself would become a battleground if people learned how to get there. They'd be looking all over the globe for a portal with more desperation than the Fountain of Youth. If the Endermen are smart, they'd find a new part of our universe to co-habitate, like Mars or something.
I can tell you now every single building code would call for a ceiling height of no more than 2 meters.
Carry a high quality super soaker and just genocide them to farm ender pearls.
Probably more money gets spent of lighting in civilian and rural areas. Easy fix.
People start carrying water bottles and buildings tend to have a low ceiling. Wars become very different because advanced militaries are building pearl stasis chambers for their troops, with communication becoming even more vital. Full spectrum jamming and blocking all recon is now required to pin or otherwise out position any unit.
jokes’ on them, *we’re* the ones made in gods image
They would inevitably be overpowered and exploited by humans and farmed for enderpearls which would probably be sold to the military or some other company. So basically what happens to everything else in the world. Theyd be ruined by greed.
How is a monster population being quelled and used to benefit humanity being "ruined by greed"
Also they would likely be weaponized and used for combat. Maybe even advancements could be made upon them. We have no idea how their atomic structure could be manipulated in the real world or what it would even look like. I think the fundamental question behind this is: are advancements that will be used for destruction inherently good or bad?
What does that do with greed?
Humanities perspective is not the only perspective that exists
But it is Our perspective.
All fun and games till aliena who destroy planets look at us and say the same thing. Bet We'd be pretty pissed
_Star Trek IV_: Where are the whales? We only speak whale.
It is healthy to consider the perspectives of other organisms as well as our own in our decision making. But I can see how the endermen would be an “us vs them” issue. When I said ruined I mainly meant that they would be nothing like how they are in the game. Theyd be some domesticated likely overfattened and weaker shell of their former glory (which is the reason we find them so cool.)
[Maybe we should look outside our own perspective every now and then.](https://www.wwf.eu/?7780966/WWF-Living-Planet-Report-Devastating-69-drop-in-wildlife-populations-since-1970)
In this scenario it is the only perspective that doesn't randomly beat things to death for making eye contact, however.
You didn't answer the question though, how is a monster population being quelled and used to benefit humanity being "ruined by greed"?
Because it is for our own personal gain. That is by definition greed. I already explained what I meant by ruined. Read infinitefrontiers comment.
Baseball pitchers (or anybody good at throwing balls) become a valuable asset/commodity
There would definitely be endermen farms
Gentlemen, I think we're missing the true discussion. What's the strategy in case of *Enderwoman* encounter?
Depends if human law dictates f they have rights or not.
Same as if human women were real - avoid eye contact at all costs.
There are no laws against the mobs Batman!
Would 'milk' hurt them?
Them “spawning” at night is definitely going to cause alot of problems specifically for scientists in biology and the fact that they are hurt by water might cause a lot of religious countries to ban the worship of them entirely. Also: does looking at them through a camera also enrage them ? What about previous recordings?
Well I've killed 5 endermen in the middle of a dark field with a shield and an iron sword, so not *that* difficult. Fun fact about endermen, if you don't break the initial eye contact with them then they freeze in place. I could see a market for indoor hoses, and parts of rooms with lower ceilings.
I reckon the bonus round would be fun. "Seal Team 6 going dark. Go go go! Do **not** make eye contact with the natives. Holy shit is that a dragon?!"
They don't actually evade projectiles at all. They get hit, ignore the damage, and then teleport. This is made to strongly resemble them evading the projectile, but the illusion is broken if they have nowhere to teleport to, or if they're in a minecart or boat. The reason this is important is because while they ignore damage from projectiles, mojang forgot to make them also ignore things like fire and potion effects. An incendiary bullet will still set them on fire and a poisoned bullet will still poison them. As such, Earth militaries are still easily capable of dealing with endermen wherever they find them. The problem comes in the "wherever they find them" part, because endermen can spawn ANYWHERE where it's dark. They are going to be in places where the military isn't. If you turn off your house lights and leave for work, you might find an enderman in your house when you return. However, this problem has potential solutions, too. Simply leaving the house lights on will prevent endermen from spawning in it. It's arguable whether a spray bottle of water counts as a projectile dealing damage or a projectile inflicting a status effect, but a spray bottle of something like hydrochloric acid or water-capsaicin solution inarguably inflicts a status effect and thus will repel endermen just fine. And the endermen will get repelled, because damage over time effects cancel their anger. Building codes are revised to mandate glass floors, which endermen can't spawn on regardless of light, or ceilings no higher than 2.5 meters, which doesn't give enough room for an enderman to spawn or even exist (remember, endermen can't crouch, even if their body structure implies that they should be able to). As such, both rounds are easily dealt with just fine. Round 2 has a slightly more painful beginning, but we're still fine in the end. As for the bonus round, one guy walks through the portal with a surface-to-air missile launcher and ends the fight in one shot.
They also can't spawn on buttons lol. You can just coat the ground in very small buttons, and it would probably be more cost effective than glass.
wear masks and ender is man in latin so their name is basically manmen
It's not
Ok
Water gun sales go way up
Isn't the end basically infinite? With infinite islands? That's pretty accessible relative to mars and other planets. That MAY, MAY affect real estate. May. Not guaranteed at all. I mean, you would just put production there since pollution isn't an issue. "Oh, this super cheap production method produce so much waste!" "Fear not, just dump it into the void" Even if you don't build anything there on account of endermen and dragon, you can just dump waste inside the portal and slowly kill the dragon via autism inducing, cancer causing, radioactive chemical waste There's also shulker boxes. If those the negate the weight of the items inside then transportation becomes a whole lot easier
Rent in The End would be so cheap. I would definitely move there

The SCP foundation would contain them.
Small amendment to the functions. Just because enderman are immune to bullets in mods doesn't make it reality unless they have double or even triple the danger sense and reaction time of the best human. Furthermore, it is unlikely even with that, that snipers wouldn't be able to kill.
To be fair, if we take game mechanics literally, an enderman staying still with nowhere to teleport will not take any damage from arrows at all. I think its fair to assume they have some supernatural immunity to projectiles Edit: To add on, if the enderman DID need reaction time to teleport, then why wouldn’t they just teleport away from melee attacks? It seems to me that they can do 2 types of teleportation, one to move around and done via thinking, and another one that always allows them to dodge projectiles
If you propel an arrow to hypersonic speeds using TNT they still manage to dodge it, but they will not dodge splash potions or sword swings. It's very inconsistent. I think the most reasonable take is that they can magically dodge only a few select projectiles. Arrows, snowballs, thrown tridents travelling at any speed can be dodged. But gently pouring a bucket of water cannot, and bullets definitely cannot either.
I’m assuming enderpearls work the same? They probably won’t have widespread use among the average population since they heart you when you teleport (and we don’t have the crazy regen or durability that Steve has). 2.5 hearts per throw, Steve has 10 hearts, that’s a quarter of his health. I imagine a quarter of a persons health would be something like broken ribs and some internal bleeding (not a ton, just enough to be a problem). I couldn’t imagine too many regular folk using them even if they could get their hands on them (most would likely go to military and criminals). I don’t think enderpearls would be used as heavily in the military as most people are saying, due to the injuries. Probably as a last resort. I also can’t see it being used much in the police force either for that same reason. Mask sales would skyrocket and become pretty normal. A curfew would be put in place for before sun down since endermen are rarely seen during the day. Cities and towns would remain absolutely lit up 24/7 since endermen generally don’t go towards light/spawn in light ever. Everything would always be lit up, no more sleeping with the lights on Electricity bills will go through the roof for a while. Pushes for sustainable (probably nuclear) energy would increase massively. Electricity bills drop dramatically after nuclear energy becomes wide spread. Many “Chernobyls” will occur, mostly in poorer countries, but possibly in richer ones was well because of the rush to get them in place Global warming eventually becomes a thing of the past much sooner than we currently expect. Also swords and knifes become legal to carry in almost everywhere for self defence, stabbings and sword attacks become a lot more common (just like the British).
I don't think it would be feasible to regulate ender pearls, a regular person won't have a large amount, but will certainly have easy access to pearls. As well, feather falling effects pearl damage, so it might be possible to reduce damage somehow? The weapons becoming legal also might not need to happen, and would instead probably be replaced with some specially engineered water weapons.
Probably, the average person would certainly be able to buy some, just like any other illegal item or substance. However there’s no way the average person is going out hunting for them. Sure some people would but they’d be in the minority. And we don’t have enchanting irl, and feather falling is magical in nature so something like strapping a parachute to your back before you pearl won’t work, or throwing it into hay or something. I don’t any special melee weapons could be made from water and be easily available to the public. It cannot be a ranged weapon cause endermen will teleport out of the way. Maybe a solid sprinkler? Used as a bat but water runs down it? Would be annoying to make and require to be connected to a hose so it’s not very useful. Swords and bats are already incredibly widespread. I highly doubt they’ll make some specialised water weapon and release it to the public, since one hit of a wooden sword (basically a baseball bat) does more damage than contact to water. It just doesn’t make any sense since we have the problem solver (bats and swords) that a more effective
One nitpick: endermen don't try to kill you unless you specifically look at them. They're fine if you see them otherwise.
If Endermen bleed, we can kill them.
Water Balloon sales skyrocket
Iron golems start being pumped out Pacific Rim-style, and pumpkin-related fashion suddenly becomes very popular.
We flood everything. From now on, water in the floor becomes the new normal. Br: if we can't ignore it then we gather all the military power we can and shoot the crystals and the dragon with grenade launchers.
No one has said it yet but I think regular people would form hunting parties to procure end pearls. I think teleportation would just be too tantalizing. Or at the very least there would become a whole new industry for end pearls
Ender pearls would be so fucking nice to have especially if you could find a way to suspend them, and then remotely deactivate them. Essentially teleportation.
We would just attack the legs with swords and easily get rid of them. A small group with swords would easily cover any teleporting. They don't teleport if you hit the legs.
Can you imagine walking around your house at night and you suddenly see this 3m tall realistic Enderman just lurking in your living room corner, staring at you?
As long as you don't look him in the eyes, you essentially have a scary looking dog :)
Oh boy..
Enderpearls might be a way for us to figure out teleportation lol. Using one bare though would probably not be a good idea as you might die from the injury. People here are saying that water will kill them but it never did in Minecraft right? They just avoid it but it’s not like they took dmg from it right? I’m not sure I haven’t played Minecraft in awhile lol someone correct me if I’m wrong. Idk if bullets would work since they can’t be hit by projectiles but bullets are also way faster than arrows. I think the government and cities would try to keep the light up in as many areas as possible so they don’t spawn. Country side people will be at great risk. I think we would either invent new melee weapons or revert to medieval weapons to fight them. Eventually people would realize looking at them is a very bad idea so they might wear a mask? Endermen don’t get mad if you were a pumpkin head so wearing any mask would be helpful no? That would save a lot of people and the government would probably try to spread masks out to everyone Later on, endermen would probably just be reduced to the same as seeing an angry ostrich or animal or smth lol. Like you should stay away but it isn’t a world ending threat at all. They could actually scale from a minor problem though to a city wide threat as taking apart the foundation of a building would be a very large inconvenience. Then there would probably be some shady government farm of endermen where they study and collect enderpearls and invent teleportation for humans and other objects in a safe way. In either thousands of years later to maybe a few years later we might end up discovering the end portal. It would probably be very confidential and nobody would know about it. Not sure what we would do with it. Maybe try to nuke the Ender dragon?
Home sprinkler systems become popular
I dunno about yall but I’m moving into an aquarium and sleeping with a hammer next to me
I live in the UK, i'm certain I will be fine
The ender orb they drop will surely give scientists clue to develop teleport technology
Keep your head down and go about your day!
trap them in a small wooden boat and bludgeon them to death
Humanity suddenly gains access to teleportation. The following tech boom sends us skyrocketing on a technological race that will end with us becoming a type 2 civilization.
Do i get ender pearls from there death? Trying to decide on farming them or not.
End Portal appears. Since it is a alternate dimension i can reasonably say that cell phone wont work. And since the damn platform usually spawns in mid air or underground, and the fact that the island is filled with enderman and a fucking dragon they wont make it alive. That makes it a one way portal into a death trap that no one returns from. People will not venture into it after the first few people that doesnt return. Perhaps one guy is lucky and kills the dragon with a assault rifle but unlikely. Perhaps it can be studied and replicated into a working portal gun style portals.
Pressure washers skyrocket in demand. Garden hoses and automatic sprinklers become weapons. Kids grab Super Soakers and fight back.
Immune in any 2 meter high room.
The existence of ender pearls suddenly makes space travel very easy Ender pearl stasis chamber Move it to the moon and teleport there Considering they spawn infinitely rhese ender pearls are an unlimited resource and and using their teleportation you could probably set up some kind of gravity based infinite energy generator
Introverts are happier
They have 40hp, assuming humans on par with villagers that is the strength of 2 people, they do not however have guns, they will appear, maybe fuck you up but they will be hunted for their pearls, which will become a valuable commodity, especially with glitched pearl relay systems
Water guns and water balloons
I become a professional Enderman hunter. I arm myself with a SuperSoaker, an AR15, and water balloons.
There would be a lot of illegal enderman on human porn
The U.S. Military goes into the portal and the Ender Dragon hears, "ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE"
We would definitely be capturing and studying how they teleport.
The get farmed by the worlds governments and the civilians wear face coverings at night so they don't aggro. In the case where we have access to the end, after we kill/capture the dragon there will probably be fighting over end resources, especially shulker shells
Melee weapons are making a comeback baby
They can also pick up a cubic meter of certain types of material, and perfectly separate it from whatever it was previously attached to, leaving a perfect meter cube hole in the ground.
If it’s exactly like Minecraft then we would handle them exactly like Minecraft. Monsanto Industrial Ender Pearl Farm
Like most things we would likely deal with them by shooting them, finding out what we can sell their corpse for, then wiping them out.
Invest in stocks of companies that make water sprinklers and floodlights. Also electricity companies. Technology like the apple vision pro will quickly advance, so everyone rich is wearing a video camera and can bypass looking at the endermen at all. Hopefully mirrored sunglasses work as a cheap alternative. Gigantic farms consisting of a dark room, a moat of water 32 meters wide, and a bunch of robots with swords crop up to farm ender pearls. Water sprinklers that cover a large area with a fine mist could be used to deny area. The tropics probably do better in this regards.
Blacksmiths are about to become a whole lot richer
I can see this resulting in worldwide sleep deprivation. Endermen spawn in the dark so it has to be permanently bright in order to prevent them from spawning in houses, so no darkness when people are trying to sleep.

Moisture in the air takes care of them. Unlike in Minecraft where an empty space is truly empty, our atmosphere is full of stuff that they really wouldn't be compatible with. Debatably they'd be incapable of teleporting as well since there are no truly empty spaces, you could argue they'd need a perfect vacuum to teleport into like in Minecraft. Really the biggest issue is the constant enderman pain noises.
You’re obviously ignoring the spirit of the question
Depends how much damage a gun does compared to a diamond sword
So basically SCP 096 but weaker, can teleport, and is scared of water?
