What is Ender Pearl in Minecraft?
An Ender Pearl is a magical, mystical orb in Minecraft that allows you to teleport. When you throw an Ender Pearl, you are instantly transported to the location where it lands. This makes it an incredibly useful item for travel and exploration. You can use it to cross dangerous gaps, scale high cliffs, or get out of tricky situations in a flash. It is a key mobility tool for any experienced player. However, using an Ender Pearl comes at a small cost: you will take a small amount of fall damage when you land, so you have to be careful. The Ender Pearl is also a crucial crafting ingredient. It is needed to make an Eye of Ender, which is the item you need to find and activate the portal to the End dimension, where you can fight the Ender Dragon.
How to get Ender Pearl in Minecraft
The main way to get an Ender Pearl is by defeating Endermen. Endermen are tall, black, spooky mobs that can be found in all three dimensions, but they are most common in the Warped Forest biome in the Nether and in the End dimension itself. When you defeat an Enderman, it has a 50% chance of dropping one Ender Pearl. You can increase this chance by using a sword with the Looting enchantment. Another great way to get an Ender Pearl is through trading. You can trade with expert level cleric villagers, who will sell you an Ender Pearl for five emeralds. You can also trade gold ingots with piglins in the Nether. They have a small chance of giving you a stack of Ender Pearls in return. Finally, you can sometimes find Ender Pearls as loot in the chests of strongholds and buried treasure.
How to use Ender Pearl in Minecraft
To use an Ender Pearl, hold it in your hand and right click to throw it. It will fly through the air in an arc, and when it hits a block or a mob, you will be teleported to that spot. Be aware that this will cause you to take 5 points (or 2.5 hearts) of damage, unless you have armor with the Feather Falling enchantment or land in water or on a soft block. You can use Ender Pearls to quickly travel across the landscape or to get into hard to reach places. In combat, you can use them to quickly escape from danger or to chase down fleeing opponents. The other main use is for crafting an Eye of Ender. You can craft one by combining an Ender Pearl with Blaze Powder in a crafting grid. This is essential for progressing to the final stage of the game.
