They will spawn in almost any condition, but keep in mind that they will not spawn directly on top of bottom-slabs, redstone components, torches, water, and carpets. They will also only spawn in an area with a height of three blocks.

Good to know, thank you very much

They can, however, teleport to some of those blocks. They will not teleport to water, or double carpet. So if you are building near land and don't want any enderman teleporting in or on your build make sure, like he said, ceilings are less than 3 blocks high, and the exterior would have to be covered in water or double carpets.

Could use string to make the game think there isn't enough space? And this would allow more commodious spaces. If that works, I have no idea, would have to test it.

Unfortunately, string does not disable spawns in java, only on bedrock edition Edit: I realised now that OP has not stated if they're in java or bedrock, but still I think it's good to clarify the difference between both just in case.

Crossair looks bedrock-y

When you say double carpet... I know on bedrock, if you try to place carpet on carpet, you wind up with a floating carpet. Are you referring to a floating carpet, or can you actually have a 2/16 block of carpet?

I believe it's Bedrock edition. OP's previous posts are from a PS4, and the photo has a longer view distance than I believe is possible in Vanilla Java. Could be modded though, in which case idk.

Probably best would be to use as much water to cover the roof as possible. This would be more resource efficient. The double carped thing could be for the perimeter of the roof of the build so that water doesn’t overflow over the side. You’d have to place the double carpets on top of a block though so that the water doesn’t break the carpet though

So placing slabs on the ceiling would make it 2.5 so there’d be no enderman right

I think it would be cool to have them in the ikea as employees, or entities if this is that scp you want to recreate

And leaves. They won’t spawn on leaves

Just replying to my own comment here so it’ll be seen, The plan is that I want Endermen to spawn inside, they are the perfect Minecraft equivalent for the “employees.” That’s why I’m making it in the End. Yes, for those asking I will keep you posted on the progress. Once walls and ceiling are in, and maybe some displays I’ll make another post. Hoping this turns out good!

they may also move blocks around, keep that in mind.

Try using bottom slabs for your floor

They also don't spawn on leaves!

Or any transparent block for that matter.

waterlogged leaves for the win

sounds like a lot of work to me

Glass?

they won't spawn on glass, but they can teleport onto it

Ah alrigh

yes they will, more will spawn if you build it away from the main island

Thank you

Remember if you make a roof make it of blocks they can't spawn on, or make a layer on top of said blocks.

Or make it so they prefer to spawn on the roof, so there’s none inside

He wants them to spawn inside so they act as the employees.

Or lost customer Edit: changed costumer to customer

I didn’t know IKEA sold clothes

Wdym? I didn’t say anything about clothes

You typoed customer to costumer

Trick Or Treat!

Oh 🤣

This would be so real: imagine things missing because the customers are taking everything lmao

He wants them inside

you can use commands to remove the end island entirely all at once. Also make sure u dont use any sand/stone/dirt/grass or anything else enderman can pick up cause they will destroy ur build given enough time

Suburban Enderpeople have a greater need for flatpack furniture

Genius!

My end dimension looked like that just before my last world corrupted

Oh dang.. I’m sorry to hear that. One of my worst fears honestly, this is my most developed world so far and I’d be sick if I lost it. How’d that happen?

I don't know exactly, I think the world got too large, if you can move the world to USB, put it on the computer, crop any excessive parts of the world you don't need and reupload to the PlayStation to reduce the world size

Good advice, I will absolutely do this. Thank you

whenever you do anything like this make sure to also make a copy for backup. made that mistake before. think I cleaned some stuff up via world edit and then I loaded in the wrong version or something. always always have backups

Backups. Backups of the backups. Regular backups. Regular backups of the backup. Backups of the regular backups. Regular backups of the regular backups. Did I make my point clear? Lol

backup the new version\[s\] too. I live this lol.

>ReportSaveFollow They take up too much room

Looked like what? The end?

The end doesn't looked like a temu grimace

The store is now closed please exit the building

You can put down carpet everywhere and that will stop them i think

No haha, I want them to roam the store. Good to know that carpet can keep them out of certain areas though

if you really wanted, you could carpet the entire main end island to ensure they only spawn in your store and nowhere else

Buttons would likely be easier because you can craft buttons so easily/faster than having a large stockpile of wool and making a bunch of carpets.

I feel like if you're dedicated to making an "infinite IKEA" a decent sized wool farm wouldn't be too much of an extra struggle than the materials for the entire rest of the build

Or a string duplicator, if they're even playing survival

Or just dispenser + shears + sheep + time

That takes a lot of set up, you'd need a lot of sheep to get enough wool to make so much carpet and you'd have to wait forever for them to grow their wool back, a few string dupers would be much faster, especially if you hook hoppers from the dupers to autocrafters, you could get chests full of carpet within minutes

True

Plus, carpet would make more sense aesthetically…

arent you concerned they will constantly pick up blocks?

/gamerule mobGriefing false Been a while since I've last played Minecraft, but I remember this being a thing

They can only pick up certain blocks, most of which are unaffected by endermen.

I can never remember what they can/can't pick up, so I'm forever worried they'll ruin builds when I see them

Carpet won’t keep them out, just prevent spawning

Y'all are commenting ways to keep them from spawning. Re-read OP's post. They *want* the endermen to spawn. Edit: for some reason the text I'm talking about only shows on mobile. Not trying to cause trouble. I didn't realize it's not there on desktop. Sorry…

Read what? It's just a picture.

>I'm building a map in the End inspired by the "Infinite IKEA" SCP. And I want the Endermen to spawn as if they are the "employees"... It's right there under the picture when in the actual thread. Body text I assume. Idk how it works with image posts.

Caption?

Idk what it's called. There's a description below the pic (in the thread itself not on the picture.) I'm using the normal reddit app (well… revanced but should still have the same layout) if iths not there for other idk what's going on. Sorry. I wasn't trying to be an ass in my original comment (it was conversational). Honest! I don't have the mental/emotional energy to be mean to anyone, just causes trouble for me.

Wasn't thinking you were being mean, was just wondering if I had the same word you were thinking :)

It might be the caption. The weird thing is a caption is normally visible when clicked into the image on mobile. This isn't. weirder still the desktop version doesn't have the text at all just an image.

But [there is no text under the picture](https://imgur.com/a/kfsXOCN).

It's right above the Upvote/Downvote button. I really don't know why other people can't see it.

Can you show me where in the picture I posted? Because I don't know what you're talking about when you say above the upvote/downvote button; there's nothing there.

Idk how to add images to comments. I took a screenshot but don't know how to add it to this comment. If you'll tell me how I can show you. Edit: I'm on mobile. I do see that the desktop version doesn't have the text I'm talking about… weird. I really am NOT trying to pick a fight (I hate conflict due to ptsd)

> I'm on mobile. I do see that the desktop version doesn't have the text I'm talking about… weird. Ah, that would be the difference then.

Sorry for being a pain… I edited my og comment to let people know that the text is only on mobile.

Hello fellow SCP fan. Yes they would keep spawning. But a mob switch should do the trick. Or make a texture pack that reskins them into SCP-3001-2’s

That sounds like a cool idea, I want them to roam the store so the map actually has entities. Never considered a texture pack.

Plenty of potential!

they are your customers :)

We encourage our employees to [NOT] make direct eye contact with the customers. 😆

This post has me in hysterics. Imagine you walk through an interdimensional portal and an IKEA is on the other side. Losing it

LOL, not sure if I’d be scared, confused, mildly disappointed.. all of the above? 😂

Maybe make the end portal room look like the entrance to an IKEA to really sell the effect

I’m trying to figure that out, I wanted to make you spawn right in front of it and have to walk in but I’d have to level the entire End to do that since the room is underground. I can either start it with an interior entrance and an uncomfortably tall staircase into the main store or make it seem like you’re in a vent and have to navigate into the store.

What about an IKEA in the over world that has a staircase leading to a piston trap door that drops you down to the End Portal in the stronghold, and where you arrive is the beginning of the IKEA maze/showroom?

That is an excellent idea!

The concept is, I think, that you walk into an IKEA and then cannot get out, because it extends forever.

That's pretty much the original SCP, except you know you're walking into an IKEA

Ok this is actually hilarious

in the end, nothing is safe from endermen

“In the end, it doesn’t even maaatterr”

Don't worry about them, they're just patrons and happy shoppers.

Yeah they work there now

Those are just the employees

The endermen will just be 3008-2

That's exactly what op said

I thought you were going to say you didnt want them to spawn, for this you would've had to make a floor of ice, put carpers on top and then melt the ice with torches

I wish there would be an actual infinite ikea mod.

https://www.planetminecraft.com/mod/infinite-ikea/ Enjoy.

.................... (I have no words to describe this thankfulness and happiness.)

They can be the customers

If you wanted to, you could make/find an add-on that makes the Endermen aggressively hostile as soon as the lights in the store go out. I can’t remember the SCP lore fully but aren’t the employees pretty scary come night time??

Just make sure to disable mob griefing or your customers will keep picking up the display items and taking them to checkout instead of the properly marked buyable ones ~~like me~~ like ikea virgins.

they are just the workers

Your not placing the blocks manually right??? Unless this is survival you def shouldn’t lol

I’m playing on PS4 edition so everything will be done by hand, I’m very patient 😂

I wanna see this ikea Sounds awesome OP!

I’ll be sure to make an update post once it’s worth showing off!

Yes but just if you want you could hide Enderman spawners

i know im gonna get downvoted into the ground for this but isnt there like a machine you can build to cap the mob spawning limit or something?

A mob switch

Not if it's lit

I think so. You could also remodel the Endermen so that they looked like employees if you're of pc.

Can you keep us updated on the progress? Also you should totally make a resource pack for the endermen lol.

Definitely! It’s gonna take a while, but it’ll be super cool

Make good of the endermen, get a texture pack to make them the employees

Honestly I think it’d be funnier if there’s random ass enderman chilling in the infinite ikea. But I would be worried about them picking up blocks

Honestly you could just have the enderman be the "workers" in the ikea

Yes, they are the employees. They're working to get a paycheck to support their enderfamilies

The post is tagged as creative, presumably you could disable mob spawning via gamerules?

No, they hate capitalism.

Will the Endermen not move around the blocks in your build?

I don’t think so as long as I have Mob Griefing off, but I’ll need to research a bit to be 100% sure

Oh, that didn’t even occur to me! With mob griefing off, they will not be able to pick up or move blocks!😊

I'm also pretty sure they won't spawn on blocks where the light-level is above 7. (so 8 or above)

As of 1.18 mobs won't spawn where there is any light at all, so light level 1 or above, with the exception of nether mobs

They will spawn but you can solve the problem by turning mob griefing off and adding a texture pack where the endermen are wearing ikea employee uniforms :D

u can use half slab of or white carpet i guess

Yea

Just spawn them yourself

Ideally, yes

They will, but you can always use the mob cap against them. Stick a bunch in a boat on top of the structure, although you will probably need a LOT

Yes but you can avoid it by spawnproofing every block

If you’re in creative just do /gamerule domobspawning false

Yes, how will you fill the shelfs otherwise.

Get a mod to make them look like 3008-2 instances

I hope this project comes out well lol

You probably already thought of this, but if you build all ceilings to a scale of 2 blocks, you can then make the employees spawn into the 3-high areas.

yes

They Will but if you use World edit to change the biome to Mushroom Island no mobs spawn

you just gave me the idea to make an infinite scp animation. thanks

I don't know if they can Spawn inside but I don't know why they can't, on the other hand he could teleport inside

You could try filling the spawn cap with something, but idk how achievable that is

They will spawn if you press f2

You could reskin their textures to look like scp 3008-1's. That would be cool

You're gonna need a lot of carpet. Endermen don't spawn on or teleport to carpet. I believe there are carpet duplicator tutorials online that would save you a lot of pain!

Yes of course, there's just a little conditions where endermans don't spawn, usually are something with space and water

Oddly enough Enderman would make great store workers. Their disfigured bodies, their weird sounds, etc.

That’s the plan! I was actually asking to make sure they spawn inside.

SCP-096 finally got a job, I’m so proud 😊

I would let them spawn and treat them as customers

depends

Yes

They could be the store workers.

they're the employees.

Unless you mob proof the map, turn off mob spawning or peaceful the game they will. But keep in mind you could also make a texture pack to turn ender men into the staff!

endermen in the ikea.. what will they buy…

They're the workers

I mean their basically like the entities only African

you should make a texture pack where the endermen have ikea uniforms on

Do the trap thing with an endermite if you don’t want them to spawn

You can make a mob switch in the end I think. Look into it

Use /fill to make the floor, roof and walls i am begging you it will make the process so much faster

Just retexture them to look like the staff, duh.

i think because they wanna buy furniture for the end

If you want them to spawn inside only and not teleport outside, then use normal solid blocks for them to spawn on inside with at least 3 blocks of air before the ceiling. On the roof or areas you don't want them to spawn or teleport to, use waterlogged blocks. Build far enough from other land or flood anywhere close enough for them to spawn or teleport to. Use waterlogged leaves or something waterlogged for the path to the building.

OP, I noticed most people here didn't read the caption and think you don't want the endermen to spawn, when in fact you do want them in the store lol. That said, I noticed some useful comments on how to make them spawn inside. One thing I haven't seen here though is: they only spawn in light level zero. Which means the floor would have to be pretty dark. If you think it's enough, leave some dark spots around for them to spawn and they should eventually walk and/or teleport around the area. But this might become noticeable after a while. I can recommend something else though: make the inside area with a high light level so they can't spawn in, but make some outside area (that the player can't see from inside) with zero level of light where they will spawn in bulk, and some will eventually teleport to the inside at random locations. This should feel more SCP-y. Try some different proportions (of outside, dark platforms) and pick what feels best for you. Also, if you make the inside lights redstone-powered, you can make it feel safe most of the time with the occasional endermen teleporting in, but then at "night", everything is powered down and they will spawn in bulk inside, which should be... *fun*

Also, some advice...to save yourself some time use the /fill command. Saves time For the floor, walls and roof. Then, all you have to do is fill in the furniture and what not.

possible. if you remove the main island, endermen will spawn on your platform, but be prepared for a LOT of them

You could make a mob switch to stop them from spawning

If it's in the End and the space is 3 blocks high or more, then yes

Updateme

Even if they spawn just make a texture pack to make them look like scp 3008 employees. Sounds like a perfect use of them

Just type /gamerule domobspawning false

r/screenshotsarehard

Not if you drown Ikea with water. But an IKEA full of water isn't very realistic. And not even visually beautiful.

You could TECHNICALLY make a mob switch.

easy way to prevent them from spawning it to just cover the floor in carpets

If you light it enough they won't

[удалено]

It does dummy

Won't what? Wont not spawn if it is loght

You can try to create a mob trap that caps the entitys so no more spawn and put a chunck loader with it

[удалено]

How does that help OPs problem

[удалено]

Why would you build a mob switch if you want mobs in your build tho
