I made an ender ender but it is extremely slow, why? I have no idea. Just barely any endermen are spawning. I’ve been using this design since 1.1 and it’s wirked not as fast as java edition, because pe has slower spawn rate but still it was fine. Now I left for like 5 mins and it caps at like 5 endermen. There’s nobody online, ive relogged to unload all chunks for sure, no other crazy farms, I’m 128 blocks away from mainland, slow spawn rate on windows 10 and iOS. The design I used was the one iskall used in hermitcraft series 4, but the top part is like the second screen shot I had to modify it because apparenlty in pe endermen can’t see endermites in minecarts please fix this it’s extenelty annoying I spent all day on this farm for an extremity disappointing outcome please fix this it used to be way faster now it’s extremely slow and makes this entire farm, 26 stacks of slabs, a stack of emeralds for name tags because the endermite kept dying, basically a total waste of time

No I’m on hard I always play on hard, and if it was peacful I would get no rates at all, the Two screen shots have no endermen because I pushed them to fall off and they don’t respawn until you’re at least 25 blocks away, so they won’t respawn until I go back down but even when I wait at the bottom the rates are extremity low but no I’m not on peacful

I can confirm same issue and I dont have any glass blocks above my spawning platform. I get 5 enderman at a time always, As soon as I kill them they spawn almost immediately but always only 5 at a time no matter how long I wait.

Having the same issue on my realm. I'm concerned they nerfed enderman spawning to prevent these farms. This is bad because it then makes the End easier, part of the reason the End is challenging is the constant threat of catching an enderman's face. You shouldn't make a boss map easier to Nerf a farm. I double checked, the realm is set to hard and hostiles can spawn, just enderman rates are garbage. We get about 3 enderman every time we reload the chunks, and there is a noticeable lack of enderman on the islands.

Well since I reported this I learned some new info, first off endermen can’t spawn on any slabs due to a bug(in my opinion if they were to improvement this as a feature it would sorta make sense because top half slabs are spawnable but are actually strandparent so shouldn’t be spawnable, but double half slabs should always be spawnable) and maybe a few endermen bugged in and spawned, but now I got one working with stained clay(I used the silentwhisperer design) and the rates aren’t too bad I guess. I’m not judging your theory, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they did nerf endermen, but I think that the entire mob spawn rate not just endermen is nerfed because mob farms work but are slow too. If they nerf endermen to break ender ender then that 100% takes away all use of the endermite because they were added specifically for ender enders(I mean come on that’s all they do lol) so I assume they’re not trying to break ender Enders
