Endermite is a small hostile mob that occasionally spawns when a player throws an ender pearl. It is one of the few mobs that naturally despawns, disappearing after two minutes. Endermen are hostile toward endermites, making them useful for enderman farms.

Endermites have a 5% chance to spawn when an ender pearl lands. They cannot be bred and do not spawn naturally in any biome. They drop no items but grant 3 experience when killed by a player.

Endermites attack players on sight, dealing melee damage despite their small size. Their erratic movement makes them difficult to hit, and when multiple spawn, they can overwhelm players in enclosed spaces. Endermen actively hunt and kill endermites, making them one of the few mobs that provoke an automatic response from endermen.
