Notch, I recently heard that you want to 'nerf' the Endermen, I am here to say removing their ability to pick up and place blocks would the very idea to make me not play Minecraft for a while.
First, pros of the Endermen.
*They seem to always be near the player, and almost seem to target him or her, making them more careful at night.
*They can remove player blocks and terrain to let other mobs in, or to mess up your favorite scenery.
The cons.
*They move your house is the way to put it.
This was a very quick rundown, but I have to give a suggestion since your removing their ability to move player blocks, have them be a beacon for other monsters and tell the monsters where the player is, when that happens, zombies will break down the door, climb the stairs and assault the player.
Alright, in more detail.
Endermen are the talles mob in the game, taller then the player, and seems to be out of this world, give him a specific item like whistle that will summon all of the mobs in the area, and then he will whistle once more, telling them where the player is, once this happens, zombies will try to break your doors down to let their comrads in, Iron Doors they can not break. Endermen, since stated above, aliens, should be able to push buttons or pull switches within a short facinity to the iron door, once they are through, its the end of you.
This will make players have to think on their toes and make players careful about where they build, how they build. Makes them want to sleep in a place fortified by obsidian.
Personally, I think this would enhance the survival aspect.
What do you, the COMMUNITY think?
The Endermen sound should be kinda like this:
I think it would be cooler if you move your crosshair off the enderman, it would make that sound what was in the video (Loud horn sound) and then all nearby mobs will attack you.
Sorry for grammar errors (if there is any).
Actually, thats EXACTLY what they SHOULD sound like.
I would love if they could pull levers and push buttons, but I don't like them summoning other mobs, it doesn't fit. I would rather have them be complete aliens than murder you on the first night by summoning tons of other mobs.
They will only summon mobs, but only 2 of each, and 1 creeper. The point is to make him a smart alien, not a stupid alien.
