Ender Pearl

The Ender Pearl is a new item in the 1.8 update and is sometimes dropped by Endermen upon death. Currently this item has no use 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.

Use
This item currently teleports Endermen away from you on right click. This does not destroy the pearl. The Endermen will still be attacking you, it will just teleport it a short distance away.

 * Moves mobs 10 blocks away from you when right clicked.
 * Grant the player control of Endermen.
 * Prevent Endermen from attacking the player upon use (right click) for any amount of time.
 * Prevent Creepers from exploding when near the holder.
 * Damage you 5 hearts when attacking Endermen
 * Give you more hearts.
 * Cause mobs to become friendly.
 * Cause Endermen to spawn near the Pearls.
