Enderman Overhaul FAQ

20 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get started with Enderman Overhaul?
Just play normally — biome-specific endermen spawn naturally in their home biomes, so explore different biomes to meet them. Kill them for teeth and pearls, then use those drops to craft the corrupted gear and hoods.
How do I get enderman teeth?
Enderman teeth drop when you kill endermen added by the mod, with biome variants dropping them alongside their pearls. They're the main crafting material for corrupted weapons, shields, and hoods.
How do I get pearls in this mod?
Each biome-specific enderman drops its own pearl type when killed, such as Crimson, Warped, Soul, Icy, Bubble, or Corrupted Pearls. Which pearl you get depends entirely on which variant you fight.
What do the different pearls actually do?
Most biome pearls are used as crafting ingredients for that biome's hood, corrupted gear, or other mod items rather than as throwable teleport items. Check the item's tooltip or the wiki page for its specific use before assuming it works like a vanilla ender pearl.
How do I craft the corrupted blade and shield?
You combine enderman teeth with other mod materials at a crafting table to make the Corrupted Blade and Corrupted Shield. Both are combat gear meant for fighting the tougher biome endermen, so craft them before exploring dangerous biomes.
How do I make the biome hoods?
Each hood (Badlands, Savanna, Snowy, and others) is crafted using materials tied to its biome, typically that biome's pearl plus teeth or other drops. Wearing the matching hood reduces or prevents aggression from that biome's endermen.
Why are endermen attacking me when I look at them?
Biome-specific endermen still trigger on eye contact like vanilla endermen, so avoid staring unless you're ready to fight. Wearing the matching biome hood is the intended way to move through their territory safely.
How do I tame the axolotl pet enderman?
The Axolotl Pet Enderman is found in water-related biomes and is tamed by feeding it the item it likes — check the mob's wiki page for the exact food. Once tamed it follows you and helps in combat.
Is this mod compatible with other enderman or mob mods?
It generally works alongside most mods, but other mods that overhaul vanilla endermen spawning or loot tables can conflict with biome spawns. If endermen stop appearing in a biome, check your other mods' spawn configs first.
Does this mod hurt performance or can I turn off certain endermen?
Performance impact is small since it adds mobs rather than heavy worldgen, but you can disable specific variants or tweak spawn rates in the mod's configuration file. If a biome feels too crowded, lower the spawn weight there instead of removing the mod.
What does the Enderman Overhaul Mod do?
It overhauls the vanilla enderman by adding over 20 new enderman variants, each with their own sounds, models, and animations. It also adds 8 new ender pearl variations.
What Minecraft versions does Enderman Overhaul support?

What does the Soul Pearl do?

What does the Ancient Pearl do?
It is dropped by the End Islands Enderman and summons pet endermen that fight for you. You can right-click to call them back.
What do the hoods do in Enderman Overhaul?
Hoods are rare drops from Badlands, Snowy, and Savanna Endermen. Equipping one in your chest slot gives 4 armor points and lets you look at endermen without making them angry.
What does the Corrupted Blade do?
It is a weapon that randomly teleports enemies when you hit them.
Does Enderman Overhaul have a config?
Yes, it has config options including allowPickingUpBlocks, allowSpawning, replaceDefaultEnderman, and per-variant spawn toggles for each enderman type.
