Spawning[]

Endermites have a 5% chance to spawn when a player-thrown ender pearl lands. They spawn at the player's original position when the pearl lands‌[Java Edition only], or at the pearl's landing site‌[Bedrock Edition only].

An endermite despawns within 2 minutes, regardless of the player's distance, except for when it has been named with a name tag.

Drops[]

Endermites drop 3 experience orbs when killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Behavior[]

Endermites attack players within 16 blocks and become hostile toward any mob if it attacks an endermite.

An enderman can attack an endermite from up to 64 blocks away.

Endermites attack iron golems and endermen in Bedrock Edition.

As arthropods, endermites are affected by the Bane of Arthropods enchantment.

Endermites suffocate on soul sand they step on.
