the previous report (MC-268747) was closed because "enderman cannot pick up plant pots". yes i agree that "enderman cannot pick up plant pots" but who said enderman needs to pick up flower pots? what i meant was enderman should be able to pick up THE PLANT FROM the flower pot and LEAVE the flower pot behind. i mean if you think about it, picking up a plant from the ground is the same thing as picking up a plant from the flower pot. also, if you put yourself in the endermen's shoes, the plant from the flower pot is the same thing as the plant planted on ground, so they should be able to pick it up. of course, some plant like ferns or bamboos can be planted in flower pot but can't be picked up by enderman, but still, they should be able to pick up most of the plants from the flower pots.

Yes I agree that coding something like this is painful, but it's not as painful as coding the whole ender dragon (and a lot of other things), and yet they did it.
And yes, my bug report might be unnecessary, but that's the purpose of the bug tracker, which is to report bugs, even the most unnecessary bugs. And of, some bug reports are even more unnecessary, like someone reported about rain go through chrous flower (see MC-259109). For me, hating my bug report is like hating the bug tracker.

That's such a stupid question. The endermen can do whatever they wants with the flower pots.
Resolving this as invalid as I've opened up the original report again.

It's simply not a bug; why are you asking about that thing? Coding something like that is kind of painful. Handling the block state of the flower pot when an enderman picks up the whole thing was painful enough. Now handle the block state of the flower pot, and make sure the enderman just picks up the flower and leaves the flower pot on the ground, which is even more painful. To me, it's just an unnecessary detail for Mojang to make. Thank you for reading my sh*t.
And yes, you did not misread it. Making the enderman pick up the whole flower pot is easier than making the enderman pick up the flower only and leave the pot on the ground, so if Mojang skipped the process of making the enderman pick up the flower pot, there is no reason for Mojang to do such a difficult thing.
