So they pretty much have made a creature who you cant escape from effectivly making structures useless once seen and making windows pretty much up there with lava in a wooden house in terms of deadliness so i guess its back to the no where to move holes in the ground and waiting for day for me then
Minecraft Endermen: Good Idea?

Really Notch? A monster that dooms us if we so much as look at it?
Why not just make an invincible unavoidable monster that routinely kills us every five minutes while you're at it?
Maybe have some creepers spawn with nukes tied to them, so that when they blow up they destroy everything you worked for.
How about a monster that if it kills you it deletes your game and you have to buy a new copy?
I am, of course, kidding. I ain't afraid of no Enderman. Any of those Enderman get up in my grill I'll just kill them like anything else that gets in my way.

This made me lol, it needs to be printed on the Adventure Update page. XDBlackLurker said:
Anyways, I wonder how hard it would be to use eye-tracking to detect when YOU are looking at it, not the reticle.
Oh, mother of god. This is going to reap hell with my cave exploration.lacktheknack said:
I wonder if one thing that might offset it is if it freaking roars at you while it charges, so instead of being a teleporting superspeed/strength zombie with no noise, it's basically a berserker, and you can always tell when it's chasing you. Maybe that noise attracts all other monsters in the vicinity, just to be even more of a bastard.
This simple addition will leave creepers at the top of the "biggest dicks in gaming" list.
Hell, you know what would be really creepy? If you saw one, then turned and ran, and it teleports in front of you. Scare the living shit out of you, that would.

Does it stop when you look back at it?
What does it drop when you kill it?
Can it teleport INSIDE my house?
Where does it spawn?
Can it move things like iron?
Does it attack other mobs?
What... noises will it make?
How long until it finds it's way into my nighmares?

I want it to be able to bat you through the air, and be silent. 
You accidentally look at one without realising, suddenly you're flying through the air. You look back and see one of them had come up behind you and slapped you off the mountain top and its now staring back at you ominously.
What i think would actually be really cool is if you look at one and they /all/ turn to you. Wherever you go they follow at a distance. More and more of them keeping appearing. then by some trigger(maybe after a certain number are following you) they're after you with sideways maws and evil eyes all at once and they move to fast to escape.
Basically as soon as you look at one you'd be saying as many profanities as you could think of while looking for a place to hold out (or digging a hole in the ground and sealing yourself in till the night is over)

b yeah, freaky creepy stuff is cool. Glad minecraft is taking the creepy track with its monsters rather than dragons elves and unicorns (lame fantasy crap).

Isn't he? ISN'T HE!? I honestly think it's a possibility... but we won't know until the update is released. That's why I hope he adds the ability to turn certain mods (friendly or not) on and off. But yea... dungeons are going to get much more difficult with these guys, and if they can move any type of block... well...lacktheknack said:
God save us all.
I've prided myself on building various traps to mess with the monsters that wander by my house at night. This Enderman presents an interesting challenge that I look forward to outwitting.
Once I heard him mention the Weeping Angels, I started nervously laughing. I just realized how terrifing these things will be. Endermen will probably be bearable if:
1.) They are very, very rare. Just a little bit more common than lava pits aboveground.
2.) They are succeptable to sunlight, or have a weakness, like wood or gold shovels.
3.) They shouldn't spawn in packs.
4.) They should drop something really, really good.
5.) They shouldn't be provocated through windows.
Or, instead of all of those,
-1.) They should only appear on the "normal" or "hard" difficulty settings.
Yeah... whatever happens, minecraft is going to change quite a bit due to these new monsters. It probably won't affect me, because whenever I see a monster underground I turn it on peaceful...

This needs to be effected by difficulty.
I mean, imagine if the difficulties ALL changed spawns. On Normal, you get the usual night-time baddies plus sword-wielding skeletons and Endermen. On Hard, you might run into zombies with pickaxes that can mine through dirt and stone, but will only notice you through walls if you're placing/breaking blocks while within their larger aggro range. (they would follow the sounds of the blocks) And maybe stuff like ghosts and werewolves, too, occasionally. Nothing game-breaking or anything that ruins the Minecraft survival feel, but imagine you hear howling in the distance. You don't run into werewolves most nights, but when you hear/see one, you hide ASAP.

I think if Notch's goal is to create a creepy mob (and lets be honest, creepers arent creepy, just explosive) then I dont think he could have done a better job. Yes, this is going to scare the crap out of people when they take their first sighting to the new mob, but it's one of those things you read about in stories, and fits well with the other mobs. Think about it, dead people comming to life as zombies, kinda the same with skeletons. Giant man eating spiders and now the scary shadown in the darkness little kids are scared of in the dark. Yea, its description is scary as heck, but I think it will test peoples ability to keep it together.
