Enderman Eye Variety

I really like the vibrant purple eyes of the endermen, but it can have more of a variety. In the 1.10 update for Minecraft Java Edition, enderman were added to the Nether. This was a nice feature but the purple eyes of the enderman don't fit well with the red and magma colors of the Nether. Maybe the enderman could have different colored eyes based on the dimension they are in. At first, they should have their iconic purple eyes in all dimensions, to symbolize that the Ender Dragon is still alive and controls the endermen. When the Ender Dragon is finally defeated, all of the enderman can have their eye colors be changed. In the Overworld, their eyes can be green and the enderman can have black smoke, based on their very early appearance in Minecraft. In the Nether, they could have red eyes instead. They would fit in perfectly with the other Nether mobs if this was a reality. The Nether endermen could also have black smoke like the Overworld ones. In the End......honestly the End enderman can stay the same. It fits with the color scheme the End has going for it. Maybe they could have yellow eyes instead, basing it on the endstone, but I think the purple eyes fit more in the End. The endermen in the end would have the same purple smoke instead of the black smoke for the other ones. What if they could be less aggressive towards the player if the Ender Dragon is defeated or the endermen could be even more aggressive since the endermen can be more chaotic since the Ender Dragon was defeated. This simple and minor feature could give a good variety for the endermen.

    I don't think of the endermen as being "controlled" by the ender dragon.

    Only because both Ender-  -man and -dragon both have an "Ender" in them, doesn't tell they're related;

    1. Endermen sometimes even attack the Enderdragon

    2. The warped forest is also bluish/greenish

    3. Looking at the texture of endereyes, you'll see they're green, if you made these purple, it would be a more logic change

    4. The Enderdragon can be respawned, and is never really "dead" or "defeated"

    5. How should it be done on Multiplayer, which one is the "normal" color? (Someone joins, and endermen's eyes are instantly colored?!

    6. I dislike it, and everyone is allowed to have an opinion.... xD

    Endermen are not really controlled by the Ender Dragon. They can teleport anywhere. Though the lore suggests that they aren't particularly happy about the existence of the Ender Dragon in the End, or else they wouldn't tell you to "look for the eye". Just my speculation ;)

    This is really old but I agree with you, don't know why other people dislike this, I really enjoy defining a Lore in Minecraft, because it's so open that everyone can create his story. Maybe I wouldn't change the color of the eyes even in the nether and in the end but it would be nice if they resumed their green color even if purple is certainly more threatening, but it is precisely because looking into their eyes it's as if I were looking at the enderdragon, that's cool. I had also read another theory according to which with the blaze rod you revived their eyes making them return to their original color.
