Endermites are the smallest hostile mobs in Minecraft.
Spawning[edit]
Endermites have a 5% chance to spawn when an ender pearl lands.
Drops[edit]
Endermites drop 3 experience orbs when killed by a player or tamed wolf.
Behavior[edit]
Endermites attack players (and iron golems[Bedrock Edition only]) within 16 blocks of them. If a mob attacks an endermite, any endermites in the area become hostile toward that mob. They can attack endermen when spawned with a spawn egg.[Bedrock Edition only]
Endermites despawn within 2 minutes, regardless of the player's distance from the endermite, except for when they have been named with a name tag.
Endermites spawn two portal particles around them.
For being arthropods, they are weak against weapons with the Bane of Arthropods enchantment.
- Endermen
Endermen attempt to kill endermites that spawn from ender pearls.
