Endermen do not attack unless provoked by a player attacking them or looking at their head from up to 64 blocks away. When provoked, endermen will open their mouths and shake with rage; when provoked by being stared at, they will also make a lengthy, loud, threatening sound and will run towards the player to attack. If an aggravated enderman is hit by another mob, it will cease attacking the player.[1]
They can also step up one full block without having to jump.
Endermen are damaged by water and rain and will teleport away when they take damage from either of these. However, endermen do not take damage while standing in a filled cauldron. They will also teleport if they take suffocation, fire or lava damage, as well as damage from poison or the wither effect.
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. If the player sleeps in a bed, it is possible for an enderman to teleport on it and knock them off, however the player will continue sleeping.
Endermen cannot be provoked by players looking through transparent blocks or wearing a pumpkin on their head. However, they can become aggravated by a player in a minecart from some angles.
Endermen will attempt to kill endermites, provided they were spawned from ender pearls and there is no nearby player in Survival or Adventure mode. If the player is close enough to an endermite, endermen focus on the player instead of the endermite. Endermen can spot endermites from a distance of 64 blocks.
When under the invisibility effect, the enderman's body will disappear, but its eyes will still be visible. In the End, an invisible enderman at a distance will become visible as a pale purple silhouette.

When teleporting, for each attempt a random destination is chosen within 32 blocks along each axis (i.e. a 64×64×64 cuboid centered on the current position). It then seeks downwards (regardless of distance) from the chosen destination until the block below is made of a movement-blocking material. The teleportation attempt will succeed to that location as long as no liquid or solid blocks prevent them from standing there. Thus endermen typically need at least three non-solid blocks above the destination to successfully teleport. Exceptions are carpet that is not above a block made of a movement-blocking material and snow layers stacked 10 deep or more, as their materials are not flagged as blocking movement even though the blocks themselves do so.
Endermen always attempt to teleport upon taking damage, such as from water. Most ordinary melee attacks are successful, but are usually followed by an immediate teleport to a few blocks behind the attacking player. When directly attacked by the player, enderman have a chance not to open their mouths. Endermen cannot normally be attacked with projectiles in the PC version (including splash potions of harming), as they will always teleport away just before being hit. However, they will not teleport if positive potions are thrown at them, including splash potions of regeneration and strength, and will not teleport away from poison potions either. If all available blocks within teleport distance are removed or unable to be transported to, it is possible to hit endermen in the PC version with a projectile, arrows tend to bounce off dealing no damage on occasion. However, in the Console Editions, it is possible to hit an enderman with a projectile by arcing a shot onto the enderman without placing the crosshairs on them directly. When teleporting due to damage, an enderman will make up to 64 attempts to teleport.
An enderman cannot teleport while it is in a minecart, though in rain and water it will attempt to do so, always teleporting back into the minecart repeatedly until death.
Endermen will not teleport in the daytime while on soul sand unless they are damaged. They will also not teleport if attacked on their legs or by wolves, as wolves attack at the legs. Endermen also hardly teleport when combating other mobs like Iron Golems.
It is possible for an enderman to teleport at death. In PC edition, the ender pearl should drop as soon as the enderman dies, but the xp only appears as the enderman's body disappears. Because of this, it's possible to slay an enderman, pick up the pearl at the point where the enderman received the killing blow, and find the experience in the location the enderman teleported to.

Endermen have a unique ability to pick up certain block types and move them around. They will pick up blocks in a 4×4×3 region horizontally centered on the enderman and vertically at the same level as the enderman itself. Endermen drop the block they are holding on death.[Computer and Pocket editions]
Endermen can only pick up the following blocks:
Allium

Doc you’re having a senility flare-up. You are breaking character again. Why the defensive hostility? You're just upset because you can only afford a cold can of beans for dinner.
