2. Endermen spawn in the dark
It’s more common to find groups of Endermen spawning in larger groups in dark places at night in places such as caves. They only spawn in light levels of seven or below.

They generally breed in soul sand valleys, warped forests, or nether wastes. These are the places you’re most likely to see them in larger groups.
3. Endermen make peculiar sounds

4. Players can make Endermen teleport
It’s not difficult to make an Enderman angry and get him to teleport. The best way to stir a hostile response is to stare at the Enderman above his upper legs.

Endermen are gifted with a special ability to remove the pumpkin from the top of your head, then proceed with their attack.

You’ll know if you’ve triggered its hostility immediately. The creatures open their mouths and begin screeching. Their next response is to either teleport directly at you or run toward you. You can also attack them from up to 64 blocks away to get the same response. Don’t kid yourself into thinking you have plenty of time though. The creatures can also teleport to your position to take you on. It’s almost as though the Endermen are there to teach players that it is not polite to stare.
15. If you hurt an Enderman it will run away
