**The Enderman Farm** (a.k.a "The Great Endermen Grinder") is a mob farm built on the eastern side of The Moon Central Island. It was constructed by CaptainSparklez, KaraCorvus, Krinios, and Sylvee on Day 49.

## History

On Day 49, Kara and Jordan ventured to the Moon to build an enderman farm to obtain ender pearls and experience orbs (XP) for the server. They also enlisted Krinios to assist their project who later met them at the Northern End Portal. They decided to build the farm east of the central island, nearby the Moon spawn area.

The design of the farm is similar to that created by a Minecraft YouTuber Gnembon called the "EnderMini". Prior to SMPEarth, a similar farm was also built in the defunct SMPLive server by Kara, Jordan, Krinios and AntVenom.

In the early stages of the project, Jordan was complaining on how difficult it was for him to place the leaf blocks while going down the water stream and traversing the lunar gravity. Kara died once when she was ambushed by an aggressive enderman while she was tending to the project supplies.

Once Jordan had placed the blocks required to reach the specific y-level, the trio then continued constructing other parts of the farm such as the main bridge, the killing area and the spawning platform, all across the Moon space void.

They tried to spawn an endermite but was unsuccessful the first time, which they ended up hunting the endermen on the central island for more pearls. They then returned to the farm where Jordan was able to spawn one and Krinios immediately named it 'Magic Mite'. But Jordan was instantly killed by the vicious bug before he could place a minecart to trap it.

As Jordan made his way back from the overworld to the Moon, Kara succeded in spawning a new endermite, but the bug sneaked out of its designated location and Kara killed it before it got to her. Later, Krinios managed to spawn another one after multiple tries and again named it as 'Magic Mite'. Unfortunately, the trio realized that endermites could not be transported into a minecart due to a custom plugin added to the server. So, they resorted to use boat instead, which Jordan was skeptical of its impact of the farm's efficiency.

Once Jordan did the final inspections of the structure, Krinios offered to take out the lanterns in order to allow endermen to spawn in the specified platform. Sylvee came just in time as Krinios removed the last two torches and as expected, multiple endermen started to spawn and jumped into the killing chamber. However, the endermen were not triggered by the endermite in the boat which concerned Jordan. Kara tried to move the boat a bit forward to meet the endermen's line of sight, but it caused one of the mobs to hop into the boat as well, killing the little creature. She suggested that two endermites are required in the boat to avoid the incident.

Distraught by this, Kara, Jordan and Krinios took turns on spawning a pair of endermites. The spawning was arduous as the chance was quite low. Krinios was able to spawn one, but before they could name it, Sylvee unintentionally killed the creature and flew away from the scene. She was then chased down the bridge by an aggro endermen, similar to what AntVenom experienced back in SMPLive, but managed to escape using a Riptide trident through the water stream. Moments later, the group finally managed to spawn two Magic Mites in the boat and got the server's first XP farm functioning well.
