This Enderman Exists in Vanilla Minecraft 

The original white enderman looks like a bug that can happen with texture packs where the game mistakenly ignores the alpha values on the enderman eye glow texture, causing the whole thing to glow white.

I did some research into this myself. The white Enderman is a texture bug and can be replicated by using an invalid texture pack. This actually also happens with white spiders, so researching "Minecraft white spiders" will give you a lot more results into this (most of what you get with the Enderman is creepypasta). If you look at bug reports in forums that provide screenshots, the bugged Enderman directly resembles the one in the video with the server with the greyish white and purple eyes. The reason I saw given and what sounds the most likely is it happens with those two mobs specifically because of the eye glow effect using a different texture file. Both of those mobs are also affected by the glitch of appearing all white in fog. It might be a bit anti-climactic too, but the white Enderman is technically real and unintentional, it just involves a texture pack not working. Though I think the white spider that results from this glitch is very cool.

“aw it’s black”… -Chief

This video is the literal embodiment of “the real white enderman was the freinds we made along the way”

i love how people think that it is so scary when its probably just the texture failing to load

There is the fact that enderman was actually a long black skinny zombie back in the older versions which explains it burning in the video and in early stages of development, it had green eyes rather than those purples

Honestly, Mojang should just add the white enderman without announcing it and make it ultra rare to the point where you won't really find it but there still is a sliver of an chance were you would find it

The white enderman was actually quite common when using custom texture packs in beta 1.8, same glitch could happen with spiders as well, as they both have an alpha on top of their normal texture for the glowing eyes effect. I'm not sure if it wasn't an McPatcher issue, I remember trying to play with the Faithful 32x32 texture pack (which I couldn't live without at the time), but I kept running into white spiders and endermen, it was driving me nuts. Funny seeing a simple bug turn into an urban legend some 13 years later.

Bro the white enderman is just like a shiny pokemon fr😭🙏

"it shouldn't come as a surprise but I immediately messaged this kid" really honoring the minecraft RU-vid community with this one.

I had no idea that back then, Enderman could not only burn in water, but also in the daylight…

After watching, I can't think of a more fitting video to comment "I don't know about that one, Chief."

0:10 the white enderman didn't even have the same texture in every image

honestly next to the white enderman discovery the coolest thing about this is that playing on such an old version really made me feel like I used to first playing all those years ago, and that everyone on the server truly lived up to the nostalgia; the Herobrine summoning statue, the disorganised massive builds, the cobblestone home interior, the crappy camera quality and the fact that it was all done to hunt down an old rumour was the cherry on top.

Correction: the white enderman was not specifically supposed to be the farlander. The end dimension was first called the farlands and the enderman was supposed to be the farlander because they inhabitated the end

2:40 "it's a black...enderman" - chief

Eye color changed, the texture was transparent in the mouth That was no white enderman, that was a directly modified game file The original encounter had what your "white enderman" lacked, which were those two distinct details (The reason why the eyes don't change colors is because both Spiders and Enderman have "Layered textures" for eyes, which attributes to their slight glow) What I think happens is that the bottom layer of the enderman's texture glitches out or is unreadable in some way (Attributing to the Opaque mouth texture and the purple eyes being untouched in the original encounter) Or, perhaps, the most notable explanation: The original encounter was someone deciding to troll the internet :>

the thumbnail for this video looks awfully similar to the "Disturbing Footage Of A Player Who Doesn't Exist" video by Render

bro really extended the video length by building a pig cannon instead of just installing a mod to teleport to the farlands

Bruh, I love how the enderman textures between the white enderman images. Ones straight up inverted and the others still have purple eyes 💀💀💀 3:06

17:47 the sheep clipping through the tree got me 💀

I remember hearing a "creepy" story about this albino enderman when i was younger

6:02 'Once released, will shoot the pig at the theoretical speed of light'. So, if the farlands is 30,000,000 blocks away from spawn, one block is one meter, that means it's 30,000,000 meters from spawn. The speed of light is 300,000,000 meters PER SECOND, which means that if it travels at the speed of light, you would reach the farlands in exactly 1/10th of a second when launching from 0,0.

It is odd that you never get a pov of the enderman yourself. But ALWAYS someone else. Odd, eh?

this entire video looks like content, not proof or an ACTUALL search but just youtube content

Ok what the hell. The enderman in the footage of 2011 HAS PURPLE EYES. THE ONE THAT THEY FOUND HAS GREEN EYES. They were obviously using a texturepack

chief casually stalking a enderman cause its... white edit wow 700 likes on my first comment ON RU-vid

There are so many problems with this video 1. The “evidence” is conflicting (especially eye color). 2. There was no point in using the "Pig cannon". You could simply teleport near Farland, not in it itself. And the most important thing 3. Off all people, YOU didn’t see the white enderman, which is a key point in the investigation. + As one commenter pointed out, to be true you need to have a white and black enderman together. In one frame. I apologize for the criticism, but in such an investigation you need to be critical, otherwise it will be no more reliable than the rumors themselves.

My birthday is September 15! 0:01

The pig cannon part is so stupid: -You can use an NBT Editor to change your coordinates -Minecraft don't allow you to tp further than the world border so just tp to a location close to it -Your nether portal coords are around -4,259,066, so when multiplying by 8 you get your overworld coordinates to be around -34,072,528, but when downgrading, you landed near the farland's starting point around -12,550,825 ???

The next video is going to be “How I trick the Minecraft community”

I will never believe this is not a texture pack unless I see a black enderman and a white enderman on screen at once

15:55 pretty sure both of them where white, if you ask me, the guy most likely had a pack on, just to get into the video or something like that plus i want to note that half the time the texture is different with every different persons pov, the first old video looks like it was just a fog bug making the enderman foggy (making them look white) but theres no way it would ever have Green eyes, even in the video it still had light purple eyes

6:42 scuffed herobrine summoner💀

Basically this video can be resumed to "I decided to troll people by making a full on server to find a non existent thing, and used a texture pack to prove it."

guys that kept finding white endermans just had texture pack

24:20 He uses a texture pack because custom skins warent a thing in this version but he has one and only for him the enderman was white

17:43 "There is an enderman over here but he is black however" 💀

“Liar liar pants on fire” ahh video

I do think it would be a cool feature to add rare events for more mobs. A White Enderman with green eyes would be such a surreal find. And it adds to the journey of discovering something rare.

14:21 the guy in the water with the axe was me

This is so EPIC! Seriously props for sticking to it for so long. Also can we get a W for JV with the redstone!?

14:17 The “oo” sound made me cry ngl😭😭

Legitimate Minecraft documentary, or a shitty arg. You be the judge!

i've already seen the white enderman and the steps are simple: 1. spawn in 2 enderman 2. go into spectator mode 3. spectate through one of the enderman's eyes 4. the inverted colours will make the black enderman appear white

me watching a humanoid squid in a suit trying to find some kind of cryptic in minecraft while sitting on my bed in the dark at 4 am:

Blip and his team and chief are LEGENDS!!! Finally people can believe me when i say i think farlanders / white enedermen are real

13:56 i love how cheif was struggling so much on my username but still managed to get it right

HOLY ENDER EMPIRE RULES!

9:11 I'm kinda happy that I was there when we named the pig Rebecca 😂🤝 Rip Rebecca though

ainno way we got white washed endermen before GTA 6 💀

3:38 shut up Kevin *dragon head brandy intensifies*

16:40 look at the left side, the dead enderman, you can see even though it’s red, it’s not as dark as it should be if it was black, it is white. They never show us the footage right before this. So either they are using a texture pack, or they found 2 at the same time.

Maybe the white enderman were the Friends we made along the way.

I’m convinced the final footage Blip got was using a recourse pack, or a modified version of the game that swapped the textures. Endermen with green eyes and black particles were in the game at one point, but only in beta 1.8 pre release 1, you guys were playing in beta 1.8. Also the ore release version of the enderman had very light green eyes, closer to white or neon yellow. There are no enderman particles in Blips footage either, which is peculiar. I do think white endermen with purples eyes are achievable, but with green eyes it makes no sense without an explanation. I hate to say it man but I think you were duped by Blip.

17:22 Your honor that is indeed a white enderman (Lmao that took me so long to make for it just to get griefed but I hope you liked it)

The fact a whole community started over a theory, by loading up the server everyone just came together and did their part. Made me feel less alone and I didn't even have nothing to do with this lol.

i think white endermen is a visual bug for specific players its what we have to believe in however Chief solved the white endermen theory and brought the truth to the entire minecraft community

Well that ending was anti-climactic

2:46 "and in crippling credit card debt" 💀💀

I kind of wish Mojang would add random alternate colored mobs into the game but make them extremely rare (like shiny Pokemon) so most people wouldn't even see them in the average playthrough but there is still a small enough chance. Even if it was something simple like just changing Enderman eye colors or making them white it'd make for cool encounters plus they could tie them to achievements.

I smell inspiration from Martincitopants... "kevin"

the first one just seems like a lighting glitch

The ultimate hunting for a race 💀

I watched to 1:46 and then left. Video should have ended there. He found it.

Black enderman are so common that we gotta search the WHITE ones

21:50 bro tryna pull a micheal jackson 💀

0:01 my grandmas birthday

25:26 I JUST CHOKED ON MY COFFEE 😭

Anyone else realise the white enderman at the start has purple eyes and at the end it has green eyes?

Chief didn’t believe that there was only the black enderman, he thought mojang must have made a cocasian one as well

YES! Great video Chief! I remmeber you made a server to find it but was disappointed that I had pocket edition and couldn’t join, but was rooting for you guys!

That chief guy: *Sees white enderman and freezes* Chickens: *Casualy laughing*

9:01 Very very realistic cheif…

chief finally hitting algorithm since 3 years ago

I loved the part when you were chopping down a tree in the far lands and blocked using the sword, it brought back so many memories. I am a og Minecraft player, and I wish they never removed the blocking with sword

I love how cinematic this is

0:09 I think that original white enderman had something to do with a fog glitch, looking at it. 11:38, of course, just shows the white body created via fog effect. 11:58 shows the faded purple eyes of the fog, and these both are like the original white enderman. There's no green eyes, because I think that's a bit ridiculous and hard to believe. 19:16, 25:19 These don't look affected by fog, and instead inverted. There'd be no reason I could think of why the game would generate an inverted enderman. If anyone has an answer to correct me, please inform me. Not about if it's a texture pack, but if the game would have some reason to generate an inverted enderman. 0:14, you can see how everyone has some variation in the sighting, which makes it very hard to believe. It's no wonder people are skeptical. I did also reply to someone else with this message, saying that I personally don't care if it's real or not, but I think there's a certain joy in the unexplainable or the mysterious. People want to believe in this stuff, regardless if it is or not. It's fun to search and try to prove something is real to everyone because of the adventure it brings. It's sort of why people like the sasquatch (Something while I don't believe exists would be interested to see and thus don't shut people down for it) talk about it so much. Maybe more relevant, Herobrine. I think a lot of people can relate to the interest, the excitement, the anticipation, and whatever emotions followed with the phenomenon when videos of Herobrine surfaced and people went out on their own, looking across worlds and trying different things to either find or summon him. So believe what you want, it's not mine to tell you something over something harmless.

1:48 Bro why tf is this actually giving me goose bumps. Im actually scared

just wasted 25 minutes of my life watching some guy search for a hoax in the most conveluted manner possible.

its like that one spongebob gif of when theyre riding that small roller coaster and yell

The cool part is that the white enderman actually makes a lot of sense as it is made up of the inverted colors of the enderman. i would guess that the stress on the server causes a minecraft visual error having inverted the colors. Just my guess tho

1:40 **chicken reverb**

The Endermen who didn't turn white must have been like "Wait a minute, I'm still black"

If only technoblade was still here and could ride the pig to see the white enderman with chief

“How bout the last resort?” - Kevin “Shut up Kevin” - Chief “How bout the last resort?” - Bill “Ooo I like the sound of that.” Chief

About as staged as lifesteal but pretty good actually.

5:17 'Hes got a guy, OH MY GYATT' chief 2024

Bro gave up and got other people to do it for him 💀

19:35 but he has purple eyes in the original footage

5:19 "oh my gyatt" seriously, Chief?!?? you too?

It's a... Black 💀

i like to call this creature: ´´the negative´´ because its colors are inverted and photonegative:)

21:19 the guy wants to show a town and cheif is amazed that there is pistons in a glass casings;-; impressive machinery though

If the footage they took had them showing that they didn't have any mods or texture packs active right after the sighting, I would believe it
