Since Notch is nerfing/removing block carrying for Enderman, perhaps he/she/it could be changed to do some actual building.
For example:
- Endermen can generate a unique block type to build with, whenever they need.
- They use these unique blocks to create specific structures (ex. Nether shrines)
- When this unique block type comes into contact with sunlight/torchlight, the blocks disintegrate into items (remember that light sensitive block idea mentioned before?)
Therefore, no actual permanent changes to the terrain are made, just adds a mysterious element to night exploration. Perhaps to take this concept even further, an Ender Pearl used in the center of the shrine can summon a boss Mob of some sort?
