Minecraft – Why is Enderman not attacking while in water

minecraft-java-edition

I am on survival mode, and I looked into the eyes of an Enderman while in the water, and it did attack, but after a while it stopped and then just began to follow me. Why did it do this?

Best Answer

According to the Minecraft Wiki, Endermen become neutral once damaged by water or lava.

Endermen will continue chasing a player until they are either killed, sustain several hits, or become distracted by exterior elements like rain, fire, or sun; they are likely to teleport away to underground locations, such as caves and mineshafts, at day break.
