Players can trap the mob in a boat and kill them without them attacking. In Minecraft, mobs are able to enter a boat when they walk towards it. The moment the mob enters a boat, it cannot move, teleport, or even attack the player. Players can place a boat in front of the mob and provoke them by staring at or hitting them. When the mob enters the boat, players can attack them easily.


Use the water trick

Many new players might not know this, but Endermen cannot come in contact with water. Hence, if players use water while fighting them, they won't be able to attack or come near. Players can either stay in a water body after hitting them, or use a water bucket to spread water on land and then fight the mob.


Make a two-block tall roof

One thing that players will notice is that Enderman about three blocks tall as compared to players' characters that are two blocks tall. Hence, players can make a two block tall roof in an area and fight the mob from underneath. They can go beneath the two-block tall roof, but the mob won't be able to enter and attack them. This way they can easily hit them and fight.
