Endermites are currently very useless and a lot of people don't even know they exist! Honestly to have such a useless mob in the game seems strange, so I thought about giving them a revamp to make them less useless and pesky!
Spawning:
Endermites now spawn in the end on a new type of end island called a Henderlock Fields. They can still occasionally spawn from an ender pearl.
Endermites no longer try to enter blocks or despawn/take damage after 2 minutes
Behavior And Description:
-
Endermites will now roam around the large henderlock fields. They will munch on the henderlocks occasionally. They will avoid the edges of the island. Endermites will spend their time mostly together.
-
Endermites are now able to climb walls like spiders.
-
Endermites are able to create small dens which they will hide in when an endermen attacks them.
-
Henderlock fields contain henderlocks which give the player paralysis when stood on (endermites are immune to paralysis), endermites, endoth, and normal end island blocks.
-
When they see a player they will slowly make their way towards them and attack as a group. You can distract them by throwing a henderlock on the ground as they will pick it up and eat it.
-
Once they eat 15 henderlocks they will go into a cocoon phase, turning into a small purple block. Once they are in this stage they will become passive immobile creatures counting on endermites for protection.
-
After 40 minutes (2 minecraft days) they will release a graceful endoth, but don't think the endoth will be your friend anytime soon, as they are hostile creatures! They fly in the sky of the end and will usually stay there. Sometimes they will occasionally stand on a chorus flower, feeding on the nectar of the plant.
-
When Endoths see a player they will soar down, charging them with their dangerous wings! The reason it's dangerous is because it inflicts the new "paralysis" effect. Paralysis will make you unable to hit. (you can still walk, jump, and even sprint though!)
-
Endoths scare endermen away from endermites, protecting them.
Uses/Drops:
-
Endermites now drop 0-2 henderlocks, 0-1 red eye.
-
The endermite cocoon will drop 0-2 slime, 1-2 tough silk.
-
Endoths will drop 0-2 purpurlyzing wings, 0-3 feathers.
-
Henderlocks give you the paralysis effect when you stand on them, preventing you and other mobs from hitting. This can be useful in making defensive walls. (You can still use potions, snow balls and ender pearls, bows, tridents (not melee form though), and crossbows.) Henderlocks can be used to make paralyzing suspicious stew.
-
Red eyes can be put with 2 leather on the sides in a crafting table to make ender goggles. This makes your vision red but it makes all mobs in a 30 radius of you "glow". This can be useful for mining or in PVP, when someone is hiding. They do give only leather armor protection though and have 15 durability. It can be enchanted with vision which has 3 tiers and increases the mobs glowing radius by 5 for each tier. It can also be enchanted with all normal helmet enchants except aqua infinity. (bugs drown in the water). It can be enchanted with scare which will make endermen run away from you and will also make them passive mobs unless you hit them.
-
Tough silk can be used in an anvil with leather armor (and leather horse armor) to raise it up to iron defense and iron durability. This can allow you to use better looking armor if you want to but under an expensive price to not make it OP. There would be a white silk like texture on the pads to make it look obvious for other players.
-
Purpurlyzing wings can be used to make the potion of paralysis in a brewing stand with an awkward potion. It only has 1 tier and can be extended for 4 minutes. It can be made into splash potions. Paralysis makes you unable to hit "things" but you can still walk, sprint, and jump. You are also still able to use all projectile items. Possibly with a fermented spider eye you could make a haste potion.
Lore (Teleportation):
Basically nothing changed with the teleportation lore (I tried to preserve it) except now endermites are colonizing the end and they have protection from Endoths. If you have no idea about what I'm talking about then check out this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjloo2AHgng&feature=youtu.be&t=3m45s
But anyway these were some of my ideas to make endermites a bit more useful and less of an annoying unknown pest. If you have any ideas please let me know and if you dislike it please tell me why, thank you!
(Also I know that mites don't turn into moths, but they don't look anything like a mite, they look more like a big caterpillar tbh. Also this would make bane of arthropods a lot more useful!)
