Alright so I just started a new file, start new on 1.8
I got wood and some coal, that's about it.
I found a long drop, so I peeked in for more coal, I got shot with an arrow and fell an ungodly amount. I couldn't find the skeleton that shot me so I continued. I saw something purple and thought it was a spider... I was horribly wrong. I sat their (Luckly had not looked at it yet) trying to figure out what it was exactly. It wasn't attacking so I assumed it was a spider, but still scary.
I decided well I have a wood sword, LETS GO. Well and I was sort of trapped in a maze and 500feet down.
Son of a bitch kill me now cause this thing is not only a weird ass endermen, but I was starring at it the entire time I walked up to it, it scared me so I backed up to fast and took my eye off it...
I'm so glad I love slaughtering pigs and carry around a lot of food, even only on my second day. Cause that bitch attacked me!
Backed up and rushed for my sword, luckily we we're enclosed and I was able to keep the bastard back, but it took some time.
Sure, but look closely...
Two fucking more! After those two, which I never ended up looking at I could see a sea of purple further down, to scared to go cause I heard zombies, spiders, and skeletons. Not to mentioned THE SEA OF ENDERMEN, though when I took this picture I accidentally looked at it, so I saved and quit, before 3 more jumped at me, I was low on beef... not as if it healed me...
They pick up blocks and randomly place them. Anything kills them, falling, sun, fire, lava, and even water. You are safe to look at them through transparent items such as glass and bars, etc. It's said they can teleport into your house if your running from them. They can deal a good amount of damage, but don't have a whole lot of health. They are rare and only spawn at night.
Heres a good (With edited in sounds of course) example
In the prerelease, they had different colour. I can't remember but i think it was white or green.
