Transparent blocks prevent Endermen spawning on valid platforms below in The End
Verification builds:
1.2.5.15 Retail
Summary:
Having a layer of transparent blocks (such as glass) will prevent endermen spawning in on valid platforms below, even if the glass layer is much higher than the platform.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Travel to an area over the void in the end
- Set difficulty to Peaceful
- Place a single layer of glass at y100
- Place a single layer of end stone directly below the glass at y50
- Set difficulty to Hard
- Wait for mobs to spawn on the end stone platform
Observed Results:
The glass prevents any spawning on the valid blocks below. Endermen will not spawn on the platform all the while there is glass above.
Expected Results:
Glass should not prevent endermen spawning on valid blocks below.
Screenshots/Videos attached: Yes
Notes:
Tested with other transparent blocks, they also prevent mobs spawning below: Leaves, pistons, fences, but apparently not bottom-half slabs (see MCPE-28626)

Today, we gather to commemorate the remarkable 9th anniversary of the release of Minecraft PlayStation Vita Edition, a truly special occasion that deserves our celebration and admiration! đđ¤Š
Minecraft PlayStation Vita Edition holds a distinct place in the hearts of players worldwide. What makes this edition stand out is its unique ability to run on a portable console, allowing you to dive into the immersive world of Minecraft from virtually anywhere. In this version, you'll find a treasure trove of features and improvements that set it apart from its counterparts.
One of the standout features of this edition is the inclusion of a tutorial world from TU69 and all the aquatic update features found in the Legacy Console edition. This means you can explore a carefully crafted tutorial world to hone your skills and dive into the underwater wonders of the aquatic update, all from the comfort of your handheld device.
A peculiar detail that sets this edition apart is the presence of an emerald icon when trading with villagers. It's a feature that adds a unique touch to the game and offers a different trading experience compared to the Bedrock edition. Additionally, you'll notice the satisfying sound when items are dropped and an overall improvement in the behavior of drowneds, enhancing your gameplay experience.
Diving deeper into the mechanics, you'll find that redstone dust hitboxes have been updated, providing a smoother experience when working with redstone contraptions. Vexes, those vexing creatures, are now distinguishable from allay clones, a distinction not found in the Bedrock edition, adding a new layer of strategy to your encounters.
Perhaps one of the most appreciated changes is the behavior of phantoms. In this edition, phantoms are less bothersome, with only half the health compared to the Java and Bedrock editions. This means you can enjoy peaceful nights without being constantly hassled by these aerial creatures.
But that's not all. Empty buckets take on a greater purpose here, allowing you to collect fish and enhance your underwater adventures. Drowneds, the aquatic zombies, are finely tuned, offering a gameplay experience similar to their Java Edition counterparts.
When you venture into the nether, you'll find it more enjoyable thanks to the addition of the secret biome known as the "Nether valley." This unique discovery allows you to find netherwarts outside fortresses, making potion brewing more accessible and exciting. Additionally, the ability to reset the nether, just like the end, offers a refreshing take on nether exploration.
Wither skeletons, those elusive creatures, are now able to spawn outside fortresses, making the task of collecting wither skeleton skulls a more engaging and less daunting challenge. For creative mode enthusiasts, shrubs have been added to the creative inventory with a unique texture, and blazes have a chance to drop valuable items, adding a new dimension to your creative endeavors.
This edition doesn't just focus on gameplay enhancements. It also offers three unique minigames to add variety and excitement to your gaming experience. Spiders, on hard difficulty, spawn with buff effects, reminiscent of the Java Edition, setting a higher level of challenge for skilled players.
As you delve further into the gameplay, you'll notice the ability to exit without saving, a feature that can be a lifesaver when experimenting or facing challenging situations. The XP level-up sound is designed to be more enjoyable than what you find in the Java and Bedrock editions, immersing you deeper into the game.
The user-friendly GUI for furnaces is an added convenience, making crafting and smelting a breeze for players, especially those new to the game. And if you're a fan of the popular cat music disc by C418, you'll be pleased to know that it plays for a longer duration in this edition, providing a more relaxing atmosphere in your virtual world.
Renamed items are also more obvious in this edition, as the name turns yellow, making it easier to spot and manage your precious inventory. For added convenience, a custom superflat GUI is included, providing a straightforward way to customize your world settings.

In summary, Minecraft PlayStation Vita Edition has not only withstood the test of time but has also continuously improved and evolved, offering players a unique and enjoyable experience that can be enjoyed on the go. Its distinctive features and improvements make it a standout choice for fans of the game, and we celebrate its 9th birthday with gratitude and excitement! đđĨŗđšī¸
