I'm trying to go to bed, but it's not letting me. I have a showcase in my house that is upstairs, and that showcase has a trapped Enderman in it. Everything else in my showcase is an animal. Could it be that the Enderman that is causing my bed to tell me I can't sleep?

  • What is a showcase? I assume it's not the showcase mod.

  • @John He just means a collection of animals for display.

According to the MC wiki, a hostile mob prevents you sleeping. An enderman is considered a neutral mob unless provoked, so it should not prevent you sleeping.

In recent and current versions of Minecraft, nightmares are gone, but you cannot sleep if a hostile mob is within 8 blocks of the bed horizontally (along each axis) and 5 blocks vertically.

also

An Enderman (plural Endermen) is a three-block-high, humanoid, neutral mob that will turn hostile when provoked.

To answer your question, an enderman is not considered a monster. Regardless of this I tested this in the latest version of Minecraft and it did prevent me sleeping. So although it's classified wrong, it still prevents you from sleeping.

    +1 for Science! Yeah, the wiki is just wrong. By the code an Enderman is a hostile mob that just can't see the player until provoked.

  • Really now? I'll have to take a look at the code sometime, I like playing around with those things.

  • This is a straightforward way to get the decompiled code up and working. It's a tangle, but quite interesting to browse through!

Yup. The enderman is classified as hostile mob to me, because it attacks if you stare at it. Do that with a spider. Same thing happens... except quicker. You should probably put the showcase somewhere else.

  • But before it's stared at, it is classified as neutral. It's only once it's provoked that it becomes hostile.

    The code is the problem. It's set as hostile no matter what.
