Minecraft:Ender Pearl

Template:Infobox item An ender pearl is an Minecraft:item that can be thrown to teleport to where it lands, or used to craft Minecraft:eyes of ender, which are required to access Minecraft:the End.

Obtaining

Generated loot

A Minecraft:trapped chest always containing 2 ender pearls can be found in the "fake end portal" room of Minecraft:woodland mansions.

Bartering

Minecraft:Piglins have a Template:Frac (~2.13%) chance to Minecraft:barter 2–4 ender pearls when given a Minecraft:gold ingot.

Usage

Ender pearls can be thrown by pressing Template:Control, which consumes the item and teleports the player to where the pearl lands, dealing Template:Health Minecraft:damage of the Template:Cd Minecraft:damage type. Template:IN, the player will only be teleported if they are in the same dimension as where the ender pearl landed. Wearing armor enchanted with Minecraft:Protection or Minecraft:Feather Falling reduces the damage taken from the ender pearl, but unenchanted armor does not. If a player dies from damage due to throwing an ender pearl, the Minecraft:death message says "<player> hit the ground too hard".

However, if the player throws an ender pearl before hitting the ground, the fall damage is negated, dealing only the pearl’s damage.

Ender pearls have a cooldown of one second before they can be used again. The cooldown is shown in the hotbar slot with the pearl by a white overlay that moves downward and must disappear before the player can use it again. If there are other inventory or hotbar slots containing ender pearls, they are covered with the white overlay as well.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

If the player throws an ender pearl and then dies while the pearl is in a loaded chunk before impact, the pearl disappears and the player is not teleported; Template:In, the pearl does not vanish upon the player's death if the Template:Gmr game rule is set to Template:Cd.

Ender pearls that fall into the Minecraft:void disappear and do not trigger player teleportation. Ender pearl entities are invincible, unless they fall into the void, and can teleport the player to the bottom of lava pools/lava oceans.

Spawning endermites

An ender pearl has a 5% chance to spawn an Minecraft:endermite when it lands, being the only way the mob can spawn in normal gameplay. The endermite spawns at the player's position when the pearl landsTemplate:Only, or at the pearl's landing siteTemplate:Only.

Chunk loading

Template:Main Template:Exclusive An ender pearl creates a ticket for chunk loading every time it moves (due to its own tick) into a new Minecraft:chunk, and also periodically almost every 2 seconds (39 ticks). It loads and ticks the chunk it is in with a ticket level of 31 as entity processing. It also loads a two-chunk wide ring (a 5×5 chunk area centered on the pearl's chunk) around it as lazy chunks, the first ring being block ticking and the second ring being border chunks. The ender pearl continues to load chunks as long as the player who threw it is online, even when that player is in a different dimension. The pearl stops loading chunks when the player logs off, and starts loading chunks again when the player logs in.

Behavior

<section begin="thrownball"/> Template:Infobox entity

Motion

When thrown straight up, ender pearls travel 27.68993 blocksTemplate:Only or about 45 blocksTemplate:Only on average. They travel up to ~51.5 blocks horizontally on even ground when thrown at the optimal launch angle of ~40°.

Since the thrower's velocity influences the throw, timing a throw with a jump towards the target can increase the throwing range. It increases to about 42 blocks when thrown straight up and 64 blocks forward at a 35° angle. When sprint-jumping and throwing at a 35° angle, the range increases to about 90 blocks. For the same reason, throwing while falling significantly decreases the range.

A thrown ender pearl experiences initial speed of about 1.5 blocks per tick. Its movement follows acceleration, drag, position (in subtick order); these variables can be simulated to predict the overall trajectory. Below is a calculator to predict the initial conditions in order to hit a desired coordinate:

Collisions

Thrown ender pearls collide with blocks according to their collision box. They also collide with entities, but with the entities' collision box inflated to about 0.3 blocks in every direction. They collide with all living entities, including minecarts, boats, end crystals, falling blocks, and TNT.<section end="thrownball"/>

An ender pearl can remain afloat on top of an upward bubble column, allowing it to be stored indefinitely.Template:Only

• As with other entities, an ender pearl which ticks inside an End portal block will be teleported, either to the obsidian platform (if it was outside the End) or to world spawn (if it was in the End). However, if the pearl enters the portal but collides with something before it ticks, it will teleport the thrower into the portal instead.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
  • Due to a bug, it is possible to teleport from a stronghold end portal to your respawn point or from the exit portal to the obsidian platform, if you time the throw correctly.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
  • The information in this bullet point pertains only to Template:JE; behavior in other editions has not yet been documented.

Sounds

Template:JE: Thrown ender pearls use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

History

New Nintendo 3DS Edition

Trivia

• Ender pearls can be used to teleport/move through non-Minecraft:solid blocks without suffocation and solid blocks by pressing against the blocks and using the ender pearl at the Minecraft:player's feet until the player goes through.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
• In Minecraft:Java Edition, it is possible to spawn a thrown ender pearl using commands, but it does not teleport, unless it is assigned an owner.
• If the player throws an ender pearl in Survival mode and changes to Creative mode before the pearl lands, the player is still teleported.
• The player is still teleported by throwing an ender pearl and entering Minecraft:the Nether before it lands. The pearl is not lost if an ender pearl is thrown into a Minecraft:nether portal and the player travels through the portal; the pearl lands and teleports the player as usual.
• If multiple ender pearls are thrown in succession, the player can be hurt only once from fall damage within about a one-second span.
