The Enderman could teleport anywhere in the world with a thought. But... there was this... thing like a wooden cauldron crafted by humans. and the Enderman found, it could not resist stepping into the .. what was the thing called?
A "boat".
Yes, that's what the humans Steve and Alexis called it.. A Boat.
The Enderman was trapped. It's teleportation was neutralized by the five planks of cunningly arranged wood. And as Steve and Alexis approached with stone axes, the Enderman beseeched the Powers that Be to address this. And They heard it's plea and granted many monsters the focus to resist stepping into boats. And even those who still stepped into boats found they could leave if they were hit.
And the Endermen found it could now break the cursed things.
