Minecraft has tons of different animals and other creatures that players can find in every world. Some mobs do not spawn naturally and require users to generate them using specific blocks. When killed, they can drop items and experience points.

The items dropped vary from mob to mob, and some of them can be very useful. Gamers can also use swords with looting enchantments to get more things and increase the chances of getting something rare from mob drops.

The enderman is a common mob that spawns in all three dimensions. They are commonly seen in the End dimension as they generate a lot over there.

An enderman can drop 0-1 ender pearls upon death, but gamers can get up to four pearls from looting enchantment. Ender pearls are an essential item that they can use to craft eyes of ender. Without them, they will not be able to locate a stronghold and enter the End dimension.
