Talk:Ender Pearl/Archive 2

Ender Pearls do not stop you staring at endermen, I have just tried it now (remember looking at endermen heads do not work anyway)
 * Same goes for me, I tried having it in inventory and also holding it but they still chase me Yandols 16:05, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Ender pearl's use?
Im sorta confused...on the page it says they have no use, yet theres this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNwEXSIUBD0

As you can see they do have a use. So is video fake or something? Or did I miss something really obvious? Jtlcr777 00:35, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Noone answered me, so I just went ahead and added it. Jtlcr777 20:50, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * That video doesn't really show the use very well. He kinda just runs around while claiming the ender pearl causes them to teleport. He even says something along the lines of, "It worked, but I didn't use the pearl." That is because Endermen teleport, that's their behavior. If one happens to teleport when you right click it, it's a coincidence, because, more often than not, right clicking with an ender pearl won't do anything. CaMoreno3 23:44, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Huh, alright then. Thanks for telling me, I was really wondering why noone considered that video as evidence of a use. Jtlcr777 23:56, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Pearl Effects Clarification?
Could the paragraph related to the way the pearls affect Enderman behavior be clarified a bit? I have trouble understanding exactly what happens when the pearl is in your inventory. XxNewbVandalxX 03:16, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * There is an edit war in progress over that. It's hard to clarify anything while an edit war is going on. 04:36, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I've not had this issue. As long as the pearl is in my bag, they won't attack me when I look at them.

Lava "bug" not working
the article says that if you throw an Ender Pearl into lava, a dead Enderman appears. I've thrown in two and nothing happens.

also, who says that this is an Easter Egg? seems rather pointless. Zoythrus 15:57, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I think whoever put that up was trolling. Im still investigating it though. BsiGio 18:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC) 02:12, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Unknown use solved?
Every time I watch a video in which someone is holding an Ender Pearl, I never see an Enderman teleport. Is that the pearls power? Endermen don't teleport when you're holding it?

Well, I have proven that if you right click an Enderman within arm's reach with an Ender Pearl, it forces him to teleport. Although, this isn't very useful, all it does is give you a few more seconds to flee. Zoythrus 15:51, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I've actually just discovered the real use. It can hurt Endermen from a distance, but doesn't hurt other mobs.

Please add a reference.
If you decide to make some sort of claim to what the Ender Pearl does, please add a reference to provide some sort of proof. Until Notch or Jeb come out and say what the Ender Pearl actually does, there will be a war. If an edit is added without some sort of proof, I will revert it back.CaMoreno3 20:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

I discovered the uses of the ender pearl.
There are a few uses to the ender pearl, although i don't have any program to make a video or anything, so i can't really prove it.

1) It will make endermen teleport away if you right-click.

2) If you wear a pearl, it will halve the distance at which endermen become agressive when you look at them.

3) Lets you attack endermen from a greater distance (unknown how much of a distance increase and you must be holding the pearl.)

You can test these out if you want to, and if nobody replies i will add the information.

 * I'll go test these right now. But seeing as there is an edit war on the Ender Pearl page right now, please don't add anything without a reference. A video, or a tweet from Notch/Jeb would work. CaMoreno3 22:27, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I tested all these claims in survival mode on normal difficulty by creating a flat world with only grass and importing an Enderman Spawner using MCedit.


 * 1) Enderman DO NOT teleport away when you right click with the pearl. If they teleport while being right clicked, it is merely a coincidence, because more often than not, it doesn't work.


 * 2) The pearl DOES NOT cut Endermen's aggro distance in half as far as I can tell. Endermen spotted me watching them from very far distances regardless of whether or not I was holding a pearl.


 * 3) IN SURVIVAL MODE the pearl DOES NOT increase the your attack distance. When trying to attack any mob from a long distance, the pearl did nothing with both right and left clicking. However IN CREATIVE MODE any item can attack any mob from long distances, not just the Ender Pearl. So the Ender Pearl is nothing special.


 * Through the testing I've done it is my opinion that as of now, the Ender Pearl does nothing. I do not have the means to make a video to prove any of these claims. If anybody can make a video, please do so. CaMoreno3 23:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * The ender pearl might be a form of curreny, notch always said he wanted to add that. I mean it IS a pearl, and pearls are valuable in real life. You could use the pearl to buy blocks.


 * Every time I have right-clicked an Enderman with the Ender Pearl, they teleported. I can't remember how many times I did it, but every time it happened. Coincidence? I think not. --SN777 Divinus, King of Blargs 04:43, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Then make a video and prove it. It never works with me or others. CaMoreno3 06:40, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Endermen teleport without right clicking the pearl...
It's their attack strategy, you look at them as they run at you, then they teleport behind you and attack. By the way, did you know you can attack mobs from a lot further away in creative mode? That explains the other "power" of the pearl ;) I for one, am betting it will do nothing to Endermen, and will rather let you teleport. Skeletons and creepers drop things that help you use the power of that mob, (arrows and gunpowder). Besides, Endermen aren't so difficult that you need a special item just to weaken them. Just my two cents.
