Can endermen teleport up a hill with overhanging edge
I am trying to build a killing spot for endermen. The idea is that I'm safe for their attack because I stand on a place that is only 2 high and they cannot get to me. I wait there and challenge them to come with a staring contest. This place is build on a small hill with an overhanging edge to stop spiders and other mobs from party crashing. A vertical cut would look something like this, with 'X' a solid block, '_' some air, 'p' the player and 'e' an enderman:
X X X
X p
X p
X X X X X X X X e
X X X X X X X _ e
X X X X X X X _ e
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
The problem is that it looks like the endermen refuse to teleport next to me and get their selves killed. Could there be some rule that they cannot teleport up the hill because it has an overhanging edge?

But yes, they can teleport there.Can endermen teleport onto half slabs?
I can confirm right now that they can teleport onto half slabs, btw. There is a video on youtube enderman teleport science or something. it shows that they only teleport 32 blocks. And that they can teleport to any blok as long as there is 3 spaces of air above it, except when there is water on it.How to Stop Enderman Teleporting
