What's been Dug Up: Mutant Enderman (Part 2)

OK, so we're going to go into making an Ender Soul Hand and what it can do. As always, this mod is created by a player known on the Minecraft Forums as thehippomaster21 and I really hope that many of you will decide to try it out.

Remember that you'll take damage while gathering Endersoul

Alright, as I said previously, when a Mutant Enderman dies, it disintegrates and its Endersoul spreads. The player can pick up that Endersoul by right-clicking it, but it will not appear in the inventory and instead will follow the player around. After that, if an Eye of Ender (which is also dropped by the Mutant Enderman) is dropped onto the following Endersoul, an Ender Soul Hand will be made.

A player is free to throw wherever they please 

When an Ender Soul Hand is currently equipped, any block that is right-clicked will be held in mid-air and can be thrown by the player by right-clicking again. Throwing a block does deal damage to whoever is on the receiving end of the flying block. However, it must be kept in mind that an Ender Soul Hand has a limited number of uses.

Plenty of particles appear when you teleport

Also, the item allows its user to teleport by pressing shift and right-clicking to wherever the user is facing. It does not deal damage like an Ender Pearl, so there's no problem in that regard. The only drawback is that that teleporting takes up 4 uses instead of 1. However, it can be recharged by dropping it and letting it absorb any gathered/following Endersoul.




The Ender Soul Hand only has these 2 abilities, but they have a lot of potential in battle and in just exploring your Minecraft world. If you feel like downloading the mod, go here.

What's been Dug Up: Mutant Enderman (Part 1)

Next up is the Mutant Enderman from the Mutant Creatures mod! Although I'm repeating myself, I have to mention that this mod is created by a player known on the Minecraft Forums as thehippomaster21 and I hope that many of you decide to try it out!

Well, hello there. :D

This Mutant is probably the most dangerous Mutant out of the entire mod. As you can see, it has 4 arms, which it can use to attack the player. It acts like an ordinary Enderman, hostile mostly when stared at and neutral at other times. However, the Mutant Enderman seems to hate Pumpkin, that it'll become aggravated if the player wears one. The Mutant Enderman also still receives damage from rain and water.

It can still melee while holding blocks

The Mutant Enderman can pick up to 4 blocks and actually throw them, which is capable of both direct and splash damage. It can also blind any player caught in its Endersoul when it teleports, also knocks around and causes damage to anyone inside of it. The Mutant Enderman doesn't create minions and instead creates clones of itself. It's better to end the clone move by attacking the real one as fast as possible though, because it regenerates 1 heart for every successful hit while active.

Be careful, Endersoul will still knock you around during its death

A player can also be teleported by a Mutant Enderman, causing fall damage and nausea. Also, when it screams, it can deal damage (possibly killing a player extremely quickly) and even stop rain from falling. That's not all, however, as the Mutant Enderman can also inflict a smorgasbord of status ailments like poison and increased hunger as it screams. When it dies, it disintegrates as its damage-inflicting Endersoul spreads about and will drop Ender Pearls and Eyes of Ender (yeah, as in more than one of each!)


Alright, that's plenty on the Mutant Enderman! Next up will be the special item you can craft from Mutant Enderman drops, thanks to the Mutant Creatures mod which you can download here. Download away!
