Ender Whisperer Wand

Quickstart

1. Craft the Ender Whisperer Wand at a crafting table.
2. Hold the wand and use it near an Enderman. Endermen within 10 blocks can become loyal to you.
3. Use the wand again while a loyal Enderman is within 14 blocks to request ender pearls.
4. Attack an Enderman with the wand to bind it directly to your voice.
5. Keep loyal Endermen nearby. They protect you from attackers and grant helpful effects while they remain close.

Overview

The Ender Whisperer Wand lets you claim Endermen as loyal guardians. Bound Endermen favor their owner, strengthen themselves, protect their owner in combat, and search the void for ender pearls on request.

An Enderman already loyal to another player cannot be claimed by using or striking it.

How To Use

Bind Endermen by Using the Wand

Hold the wand and use it while Endermen are nearby. Every Enderman within 10 blocks that is unclaimed, or already belongs to you, hears the command.

A successful binding produces an action-bar message and a sound. If no Enderman is close enough, the wand reports that no Enderman heard the whisper.

Bind an Enderman by Striking It

You can also hit an Enderman with the wand. The struck Enderman becomes loyal to you if it is unclaimed. This is useful when you cannot bring an Enderman within the wand's normal 10-block use range.

Request Ender Pearls

Use the wand while at least one of your loyal Endermen is within 14 blocks. Your Endermen immediately provide ender pearls:

Requests have a short five-second cooldown. Trying again during the cooldown displays a message that the Endermen are still searching the void.

Abilities And Mechanics

Guardian Defense

When another entity attacks you, your loyal Endermen defend you if at least one is within 24 blocks. The attacker takes 6 points of entity-attack damage, and an action-bar message confirms that your guardians intervened.

Nearby Favor

While a loyal Enderman is within 14 blocks:

• You receive Night Vision.
• You receive Resistance.
• The nearby loyal Enderman receives Resistance and Strength.
• These benefits are continually refreshed while the Enderman stays close.

The effects do not require you to keep using the wand.

Ownership

An Enderman remembers its owner during the world session. Once bound, it cannot accidentally be reassigned to another player with this wand.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the wand at a crafting table using blue dye, an ender pearl, and obsidian.

You can also obtain the wand from the Creative equipment inventory.

Progression And Strategy

• Start with one Enderman and keep it within 14 blocks to test both the guardian effects and pearl requests.
• Bring several loyal Endermen together for up to three ender pearls per request.
• Use the wand on an Enderman from a safe distance when possible; striking one may provoke it before it becomes loyal.
• Keep your guardians near your base or expedition party so they can respond when you are attacked.
• If a guardian wanders too far away, move back within 14 blocks to restore its buffs and within 24 blocks to keep its defense available.
