They actually teleport away in sunlight

** The Endermen used to be pushovers. Now, they're an absolute nightmare. Zombies, skeletons and spiders become easy to take care of once you have some decent iron armor, a sword and a bow, and even creepers can be sniped with impunity if you catch them at a distance. But you're not going to dispatch an Enderman with anything other than grit and determination. They will only attack you if you so much as ''look at them'', and once they start [[ImplacableMan they won't ever stop]]. They have the ability to teleport so you can never outrun them, and they will use this ability to dodge arrows perfectly. They can even teleport to avoid sword blows if you try to run up to them. As if that weren't bad enough, they have the highest health of any common mob and hit extremely hard. Like Creepers, they will persist in sunlight, though they don't start off hostile like Creepers do. Not only that, but they are the only mob that can get inside your dwelling through walls and doors. Normal mobs can't get inside a closed room and won't spawn if the light levels inside are sufficiently high. Endermen have no such problem, being able to teleport right into your home. Oh, and you have to kill enough to activate an End Portal so you can reach the End.

These aren't YMMV. Moving.

* CoolButInefficient: Gold anything. As in real life, gold is treated as a soft malleable metal meaning that golden armour and tools are less durable than the wood versions. Gold is really only useful for decoration, boosters, clocks and apples.
** However, golden equipment (besides the hoe) is still more potent than even diamond equipment, so some server admins hack in golden equipment for themselves with infinite durability.
** Potions can also qualify since while they do have some useful effects and the harmful ones can be thrown when brewed with gunpowder. Only one potion can occupy a slot at a time. That means that not only can you not carry around that many potions, but the few you do carry around will be taking up more space than that one full stack of cobblestone you gathered while mining.
** Mods can also fall under this trope. Sure, they might add a fun, new element of gameplay, if not many. However, even the simplest of mods can be pretty confusing to set up unless you're tech-savvy. Also, since all mods are third-party, they don't get automatically updated with each new Minecraft update, meaning you'll have to wait for the mod creator to update the mod before you can use it in the lates game update. Also, most mods only work for single-player, turning away anyone who doesn't like the solitude of SSP.

** The Nether has Blazes, the Nether's answer to skeletons (though it has those, too). Blazes are tough and shoot fireballs which can light you on fire... in an environment in which it is ''absolutely impossible'' to have water. Unless you have something that provides fire protection, you have to be suicidal to challenge them. Fortunately, they are easily harmed and killed by, of all things, [[WeaksauceWeakness snowballs]].
** The Endermen used to be pushovers. Now, they're an absolute nightmare. Zombies, skeletons and spiders become easy to take care of once you have some decent iron armor, a sword and a bow, and even creepers can be sniped with impunity if you catch them at a distance. But the best strategy with Endermen is to pray that they go away. They will only attack you if you stare at them for more than an instant, but they will then [[ImplacableMan doggedly follow you until you are dead]]. They can teleport in the blink of an eye and avoid your attacks so bows are useless against them. One hit from them will knock you sideways and take a big chunk of your health even through your armor, and they will persist in teleporting right next to you if you try to run away. Their hitpoints are the highest of any non-boss mob. Like creepers, they are not harmed by sunlight which means that once they spawn in the dark, they will never die unless you kill them yourself. Not only that, but they are the only mob that can get inside your dwelling through walls and doors. Normal mobs can't get inside a closed room and won't spawn if the light levels inside are sufficiently high. Endermen have no such problem, being able to teleport right into your home. Their one weakness that can be easily exploited is water. They take damage from water and will instantly teleport away if it touches them, making a bucket of water a mandatory weapon in your arsenal at all times. Dumping a bucket of water on an Enderman to make it teleport away from you is the first strategy to learn in dealing with them, because it not only harms them and offers the chance that they will teleport outside your home, but it also makes them forget that they want to smash you to death.

** Most of their danger can be nullified by [[WeaksauceWeakness ordinary water]], though. They are damaged by water and instantly teleport away to avoid it, even forgetting that they were attacking you.
