Poll: What'll you do to protect yourself from Endermen?

[MrJKapowey]

So, with the news of Endermen recently released I've been planning how I am going to protect myself from those creepy denizens of the night.

I've got a seed with a huge lake/inlet (I don't know, I haven't explored enough yet). First I'm building a small walled port with my house and other stuff in it (like huts, a boat and maybe a warehouse - I like to build mini-civilisations). Once that's done, I'll be building a large oil-rig style construction out in the middle of the water. I'll have it streatching over a large area so it shouldn't be too hard to fit anything I could need onto it (storage, animal spawn areas, room for a portal, farms). The rig'll also have the added bonus of looking awesome and being a quick access route to underground mining projects.

So, what're you going to do to protect yourself and your creations?

Bye bye bright blue sky...

Are Endermen only ground level mobs? Or do they spawn in the dark underground?

what do endermen do?

For those who don't know:

It's essentially notches Slender man (an urban legend)

Massive cities FTW. I'm currently experimenting with building designs for stuff like stores and inns in singleplayer on peaceful so that when I start college back up with my friends and we get another multiplayer server up, we can build a giant, walled-in city.

As for dealing with the endermen, I learned everything I needed to about surviving in minecraft by watching this:

Endermen can teleport. They also spawn whenever you think of them. Particularly when you're sleeping.

OT: I'm waiting for the release so I know how they can behave before I plan my defenses accordingly. I'm already OK when it comes to the other mobs (thick walls, steel doors, lots of light, clear viewpoints, lips on walls to prevent spiders, etc)

 

[Neverhoodian]

Bow and arrows. Lots and lots of arrows.

If I lock eyes with any of them they'll become an Incushionman.

 

[Cogwheel]

Peaceful mode. VICTORY IS MINE.


Oh, aside from that? I don't know. Sword them or something.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Can I make diamond tipped arrows yet?!

 

[therandombear]

Peaceful mode....and I have wall of burning netherrack + lava pools surrounding my island and it's buildings...all made out of stone, cobble and obsidian ofc....still don't know if the Enderman will pick up my blocks though...=(

Thank you captcha, very considerate

 

[Liudeius]

Not play.

Unless adventure is really cool, which I hope it is. I just don't plan things well enough to say "I'm going to spend the next 20 hours harvesting materials for the awesome structure that is going to take me 40 hours to build." Exaggerations, but you get the point.

Do we know for sure that they screw with your buildings though?

 

[Alon Shechter]

Watch a lot of MarbleHornets and EverymanHYBRID to get used to it.

Yeah, probably won't work.

 

[Clipper]

Peaceful...until i can find some method to launch massive gamma rays with muskets.

 

[BlueRawen]

Just keep staring at it while i shoot it with Bow and arrow.

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

I won't blink. I won't even blink. Blink and i'm dead.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

I find the fact it can pick up blocks unsettling. I swear to god if one starts picking random blocks out of my house I will rage.

 

[ceyriot]

I already have the standard defenses, big cobblestone walls, underground farming facilities, and a moat that drains into a drowning trap.

Notch said they don't move around too much unless you look at them, right?

 

[repeating integers]

Hide.

And possibly cry.

captcha: cold comfort. Rather fitting.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

I'll do you one better.

Arrows + TNT = EXPLOSIVE ARROWS

Cause that's the ONLY way I'm going out to play with the Endermen.

Let's email Notch and have him impliment this in the game!

I arm myself. I am a GOD of combat in Minecraft,so the Endermen will just be another challenge. If I piss one off,I'll wait for it. And when it reaches me...It will die. Bow for when it closes the distance,and sword+footwork for up close. It may be a VERY nasty mob on paper...But once you lure it into tight corridors...It'll be easy pickin's.
