Combat profile
For Minecraft 26.3 / NeoForge, wave base values and supported behavior can be changed per registry entry: see health, damage and base armor and mob abilities. Tier, size and wave scaling still apply.
Behavior
An Enderman-class host carrying a permanent Silverfish infection releases 1–4 IM Endermites on death, even if Silverfish have since been disabled.
It targets players and allied defenders, then attacks or advances toward the Nexus. If the target is over 16 blocks away, it attempts to teleport closer every ten ticks. Projectiles trigger repeated escape attempts, and most environmental damage triggers a random teleport.
Carried blocks
The Enderman can take a non-air block obstructing its route. While carrying it, terrain destruction is disabled. The block state is saved, rendered in its hands in game, and the block item drops when the Enderman dies.
Drops
Base loot follows the vanilla Enderman table. The carried block drops in addition, and the shared IM drop logic gives a 25% Small Remnants chance.
Ender Pearl • vanilla rates
Small Remnants • 25%Vanilla replacement
An active Nexus converts vanilla Endermen into IM Endermen with 30% of their original maximum health.
For a Zombie using the same block-theft ability, see Ender Zombie, whose living Shulker helmet teleports with it after damage.
