Enderman XP & Ender Pearl Farm

Endermen spawn almost anywhere in the End's void, given enough distance from any island and a large enough dark platform. That's why these farms sit out in the middle of nowhere, floating in the void, rather than anywhere near the main island.

Distance genuinely matters here. The spawn algorithm favors locations far from players and existing structures for certain mobs, and endermen specifically spawn at very high rates on isolated void platforms. Serious builds go out tens of thousands of blocks, not a few hundred, because the rates keep improving the further you push.

An endermite on a name tag, so it doesn't despawn, works as bait near the kill point. Endermen are hostile toward endermites by default and will walk right into your kill zone chasing one instead of wandering the platform at random. Massively faster collection than a passive farm with nothing to attract them.

The kill mechanism has to work around one specific enderman trait: they teleport away the moment they touch water. Some builds use that on purpose, forcing one last precise teleport into a tight kill trap. Others avoid water near the enderman entirely and rely on a fall or a kill blade instead, keeping water out of the picture until the enderman's already trapped.

The payoff is real. Endermen give unusually high XP per kill, and their ender pearl drops are the fastest renewable pearl source in the game once this is running, which matters because pearls feed everything from locating strongholds to later shulker box crafting through the End.
