Well before TU9 I was able to find Enderman EVERYWHERE, at least 3+ every night. Now its like they are rare as diamonds.

Spent 4+ nights looking for one yet its like they know im out to get them. Anyone got any tips to hunt them down after TU9? Just gotta get them Enderpearls to get that big ol' Dragon with a tude and go on a spiritual reading on the credits reflecting my life and place in the universe wondering if this is all the Matrix or not.

Well I already read some in creative but its more touchy when you do it without fancy dancy flying!

Thank you!

I've always felt that way when hunting Endermen. I want to go mining, there he is around every dang bend. Usually when my inventory is near full and my sword has like no health left.
Try to go hunting for him, spend days looking. Like the game knows when you want to hunt him.

I did most of my hunting on TU8 though. Tu9 just not even playing it. Mostly messing around, checking out maps for now till they fix the game.

I thought that the Endermen spawn was increased just for the 360?

And I guess keep playing on higher modes, and stay outside while doing other things. Fight monsters for items, build a giant tree [tree+bonemeal, place dirt on top, tree+bonemeal, replace dirt on bottom with similar wood, etc. Just clear leaves enough so tree can be created], get a bunch of wolves and see how many monsters they take down, gather food, etc. I've actually on found two Endermen, although that was in the last two days.

The first one killed me... really easily... The second? One of my wolves made a successful yet sacrificial attempt to destroy the Enderman [even though I had a working strategy already set up to beat him easily]. I shall honor thee for life...

I can usually find them in deserts.

Dogs are a huge help. so build an army first. second, go somewhere high up, and just look for those evil glowing purple eyes.

though, it seems the drop rate for enderpearls are lowered...or im just unlucky.

And I hate it, so much, when you kill an enderman, and he teleports just as he dies, and you cant find the stuff. very annoying

I don't know. I've never had much luck with Enderman. Even in TU8 I could never get more than one or two in a night.

I think maybe the seed may depend on the spawn rates too? (Maybe?) I think this because on one seed, way back during like TU3-TU4 I had a community world that had Spider jockeys spawned just about every night. Quite literally... every single night. Not so with worlds and such since then though.

You can make a mob-spawner which uses water to push mobs down which would then die from a fall, I assume then the endermen would spawn in the spawner, hit water and die while their gubbins would flow down to the collection pot.

No idea if this would be faster than just trying to find them

No, because Enderman are hurt by water and quickly teleport away when they fall into it so your trap wouldn't work.

If you wan't to make a farm for Enderman you're probably going to have to have falls where they just naturally fall. Try this:

I'm not sure if this works or not but it's your best bet for Enderman farming.

I don't know why but they have been teleporting a lot lately. The second I see them they teleport and really far away. I thought they were supposed to teleport and then kill you. But it seems now they only use it to run away.

Go into the End..... walk up to your newly created enderman farm and there, there you will find like 50 of them.

What about those survival people who are trying to -GET- the intial pearls to go to the end?

Few updates ago Endermen where everywhere. Now they are rare and hard to kill.
