Endermite Minecraft Mob

Minecraft Mob

Endermites are mobs introduced to Minecraft in Version 1.8. They occasionally spawn when a player uses an Ender Pearl . Note that an Endermite will no longer spawn when an Enderman teleports as of 14w28a. Endermites were introduced to the game in snapshot 14w11a (Update 1.8). Although it was formerly similar in shape, size, and general appearance to the Silverfish , the texture and model were changed in a snapshot in order to make it more unique. It attacks the player and deals 1 heart of damage. Endermites will Despawn within 2 minutes unless named with a Name Tag. Unlike Endermen, Endermites neither teleport nor take damage from Water . Endermites drop 3 experience when killed by a player or tamed wolf.Endermites are currently very buggy, and have a tendency to stay in one place and glitch around as opposed to moving like other Mobs . It causes knock back so it is harder to kill but easy to slay when you are in range. They are small little purple blobs with dark red eyes on the front and a dark purple mouth below the eyes.
