Endermans generally spawn at night, although they can spawn during the day in low light conditions. They can also spawn in caves. Since they start out as neutral mobs, they won’t attack you and you’ll have to get their attention. They can teleport and hate water, so if you’re hunting Endermen, make sure you’re not near water.
You can use any weapon to kill Enderman, but if you want to do it quickly, use a diamond grade weapon. To avoid being attacked, but still kill them, create a shelf two blocks high and stand under it. The Endermen are three blocks tall, so they won’t be able to attack you when you’re under the shelf, but you can attack them from below.

How to prepare for combat?
To slay the Ender Dragon and live to tell the tale, you must prepare. You don’t necessarily need every piece of gear mentioned here to slay the dragon, but stocking up on these items can make combat substantially easier.
- A bow is essential for combat. Used to safely destroy the final crystals. It is recommended to enchant the bow. The Power spell greatly increases your damage against the dragon, and the Infinity spell ensures you never run out of arrows during combat.
- The diamond or netherite sword is your primary way of dealing damage. A diamond blade is usually sufficient, but the netherite sword does slightly more damage. You can also enchant the sword with Sharpness (for extra damage) and Knockback (to make fighting Endermen easier).

What’s the hardest way to kill Enderman?
The hardest way to kill an Enderman is to hit him with your bare hands. But there are times when you get literally mobbed by Endermen and just hitting them couldn’t save you. This maybe the hardest way to save your life but I can guarantee you this trick would work.
