Upcoming design change: The Endermen are coming

Due to the temporary confusion that tends to result from inter-dimensional travel, the Endermen have been stumbling around in a daze picking up random blocks and not knowing what to do with them.

They've recovered now, and are rather pissed that Steve has been defiling their pristine world and griefing their mob-trap.

Prepare the defenses and batten down the hatches. The Endermen are coming.

Does this mean that they'll be stealing our cows too!? [/cliche alien behaviour refence]

Damn you, I'm going to be restructuring all my passageways to a maximum of 2 and a half blocks out of paranoia now
To clarify, that is a good thing :D

This will once again make Endermen a formidible enemy. I welcome the challenge , whatever it may be, that Endermen will now pose in Better Than Wolves.
Edit: After pulling down the machinery that I had just for washing my farm drops to hoppers I have come to the realization that this will have me use less axles and gearboxes than before.

I am... Incredibly excited/terrified. I'm excerrified.
How much modification will our buildings require to be (relatively) safe from the oncoming threat?

Back to the nether then, Endermen always creeped me out, the nether is probably the safest place to be when they are around :|

Or not, I think I rather fend them off, I always wanted mobs that actually invade your base, and no just wander around the walls...

It must be hard to balance the desire to make it possible to defend while still interesting to defend. I can't wait to see how you address this. I'm excited to see how it turns out :D.

This is not part of your "Minecraft is going to be hard no matter what difficultly you play on" things a while back is it? This is a completely separate idea, correct?

Well... this should be interesting.

I shall embrace my lovely Helm of Pumpkin. I will also create cute little Scare-men out of Wood, levers and Pumpkin heads around my crops and lovely machinery.

I'm actually rather concerned. I remember when the ender men were first introduced and i was building a castle. I would go off to gather supplies and come back to a totally griefed castle. Lets hope you aren't bringing them back to their prior bastardly glory.

Endermen pissed? This sounds like fun, I'm envisoning traps lain out for us, snagging some blocks to open a lava flow in our path...

Considering the thread I made that that preceded this one:

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5710

I doubt he'll make endermen griefing MORE of a nuisance, I'd expect it to be less of a nuisance, even though endermen get harder.

If the attack their feet bug was gone, at least there might be a few problems here and there :P

(I only hope they do not go back to griefing everything a la 1.8, that was the worst mc version ever :P)

Ah, this feeling of fear and excitement when fc announces something is priceless.

I was hoping these would be buffed in this mod! I have always wanted to fear them.

This has me wondering if the endermen are going to go after our gear systems or just be generally always aggroed at us. The only contingency i could think of is making our systems inaccessible or potentially surrounding them with a obsidian or SFS block shell

Yeah i suppose but mistakes can cause a lot of redstone damage. Anyway that would be quite the curtain of water you would have to make, and i'm not a big fan of building under the ocean.
