Alright, Endermen.. Whenever I travel to the end dimension looking for elytra someway or another I or my friends manage to trigger an endermen onslaught and it's annoying dying in the end or even worse, loosing our gear to the void. I know endermen attacks can be avoided with a pumpkin but that impairs a players vision too much. How about an upgraded pumpkin? Two eyes of ender, a pumpkin, and maybe six obsidian in a crafting table create a mask that lets you look at endermen, provides armor, and makes the visibility far better than what we get with the pumpkin.
