Endermites are the smallest hostile mobs in Minecraft.
Contents
Spawning[edit]
They have a 5% chance to spawn when throwing ender pearls.
Drops[edit]
Endermites drop 3 experience when killed by a player or tamed wolf.
Behavior[edit]
Endermites will attack players within 16 blocks of them.
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. If a mob attacks an endermite, any endermites in the area will become hostile towards that mob.[Java Edition only]
Endermites can attack endermen when spawned with a spawn egg.[Bedrock Edition only]
Endermites, being arthropods, are weak against weapons with the Bane of Arthropods enchantment.
Endermites will take suffocation damage if standing on soul sand, because their height is less than that of a slab.
Endermites will spawn two portal particles around them.
They will attack iron golems.[Bedrock Edition only]
The endermite is based on the silverfish, so they will sometimes try to enter blocks when idle, but can't.
Endermen[edit]
Endermen will attempt to kill endermites if they were spawned from ender pearls.
Data values[edit]
Endermites have entity data associated with them that contain various properties of the mob. Their entity ID is endermite.
