| Description |
|
When provoked, Endermen teleport away as expected. Often, they make no attempt at either teleporting back to the player, or approaching the player to attack. Instead, they teleport away once again, appearing disinterested in the player. This was observed in earlier versions of Minecraft, however, at a much lower frequency. As the player approaches, the enderman will move towards the player if "aggravated but interested" or teleport away or do their own thing if "aggravated or not aggravated but still disinterested." Of course, if the player either catches up, or the enderman approaches the player, there is still a high chance that the enderman teleports away right when the attack is placed, dealing no damage to the mob. This behaviour now restarts, creating a very tiresome chase.

Still in 1.8. |

I can confirm for 14w31a. My "Poor Man's Enderman Farm" that I made won't work, since when the enderman take damage from the blocks in their heads, they teleport away and become non-aggro. |

The issue still occurs on 1.7.10. Most of the times, the Enderman makes its first approach until the player hits it. Then, when teleporting, it keeps losing interest in the player or just teleports too far out of sight. The enderman is then often seen in an aggressive state with its mouth open, but doesn't try to approach the player. |

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 14w18a / Launcher version 1.3.11 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. |

Is this ticket obsolete with the introduction of the new mob AI in the recent 14wXX snapshots ? |

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.4 / Launcher version 1.3.8 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. |

Yes, I am currently having this issue in one of my survival games. I will attack the enderman, but after he teleports away, he never comes back. |

From what I've seen, if you attack them at night they almost work fine, but during the day time they do this sort of: look at them, they agro, then they teleport away when you try to damage them, and then keep teleporting away, turning passive each time. You have to some how corner them or 'attack with out looking at them' to kill them. At night, they seem to stick more when you agro them, but at times they still do this passive shift. |

My query has been answered on the forums. It seems Fire Aspect swords repel Enderman, make them teleport and then they reverse to passive. OP may want to test and confirm ensuring they don't use a Fire Aspect sword to see if bug still exists for them. Thanks. |

Can confirm still happening as of 08/07/2013 in 1.6.1. Tested in survival on a desert biome generated ~ 1.5. It would be good if Andrew Mancini or a mod could update the version on this. |

Still experiencing this in 1.5.2. When looked at and angered, the Enderman will rush the player, but after the player attacks once, will teleport away forever. This makes it difficult to kill an Enderman and harder still to attain Ender Pearls. |

Still, seems unnatural. |

They always teleport if you look at their upper legs, which is where they will be aggroed to you if you look there. If you look at their feet, they will not teleport. |
