How can I remove Endermen from the game?

I hate Endermen. They tear apart my beautiful buildings, force me to keep all my rooms below 3 blocks high, make terrible screeching noises, and as far as I'm concerned can all go back to The End and stay there.

But I'm stuck with them...unless there exists a mod out there that can remove Endermen.

So my basic question here is - is there a way to remove specific mobs from the game?

I am not asking for a way to remove ALL mobs from the game (peaceful does that just fine, thank you) or a way to not get hurt by mobs, I am specifically asking for a way to outright remove a mob from the game. I am okay with every single other type of mob, but Endermen just...no.

Solution 1:

There's a built-in server command to stop the picking-up blocks portion.
Type this in the server window, if you're running the server:

gamerule mobGriefing false  

Or type this in the game chat window, if you're an op (or single-player, I believe):

/gamerule mobGriefing false  

This will also stop Creeper explosions from damaging blocks.

However, this will not remove Enderman, so there is still the noise issue.

Solution 2:

Yes. There are mods to completely remove Endermen and others that disable their ability to pick up blocks.

Solution 3:

You can also use (in the newest Minecraft snapshots) this command blocks.

You make a clock and place a command block to the side of the redstone, with this command.

/kill @e[type=Enderman]

He kills every Enderman in the game.
