Minecraft – Enderman Containment

minecraft-java-edition

If i make the wall three blocks thick, and make water on the ceiling, would I be able to contain many endermen in a giant end stone room? I am doing this for an adventure map so I need the answer for the final boss battle.

Endermen will teleport to any block within 32 blocks in each axis. While it will not spawn or teleport on\to blocks that has lava or water on them. This means you can't really contain them to one smaller area. It's not unusual that they can teleport multiple times quickly.

In other words, unless you use a mod, you can't really contain it. Only way I can think of without mods is making a massive, flat area with loads of water\lava and no real places for it to teleport. It can't spawn nor teleport to\in areas 2 blocks or lower.
