Here's a guide to the newest innovation to tower for pre 1.9 speedrunning! This tower is called One Block Tower (OBT), or Simple Jump Tower (SJT), and manipulates endermen pathfinding through the use of one block. This block on the ground can be in several locations, but the specific location I show off in the video is easier to fix stuck endermen with. Credits to Sharpieman20 and Chaos for doing most of the work on this tower! Below, you will find several resources that may help with the tower.

One important thing I forgot to mention is that if you don't see any endermen, what you can do is instantly die by moving towards the side block (after sliding off the ladder above the base). This should also be explained in Chaos' video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PRzZoSwbSk

- The versions this tower works for is 1.7 and below. 1.8 rehauled mob pathfinding, which makes this setup not possible.

- We use 14 tall tower base because it reduces spider aggro, and endermen tend to teleport closer to the hole since you are farther away from them with the increased height as well; Chaos' CJT v3 video as reference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shwa3IHzLDg)
