Ender Pearl

The Ender Pearl is a new item in the 1.8 update and is sometimes dropped by Enderman upon death. Currently this item is purely decorative and all future uses of the Ender Pearl are currently unknown. These pearls can be commonly found in bodies of water "naturally" as Endermen will occasionally walk into water and die there from water damage.

Common Misconceptions
This item is used in Minecraft to teleport the endermen further away so you can get away quicker. There have, however, been many rumors and misconceptions regarding its use. It is worth noting in particular that Ender Pearls do not:


 * Allow the player to punch mobs from a distance (that is a feature of Creative Mode).
 * Keep them from becoming aggressive.
 * Halve the distance in which Endermen can turn aggressive on the holder/user.
