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
There have been many rumors and misconceptions regarding the use of the Ender Pearl and it is worth noting in particular that Ender Pearls DO NOT:


 * Keep mobs from becoming aggressive.
 * Allow the player to punch mobs from a distance (a feature exclusive to Creative Mode).
 * Half the distance in which Endermen will turn aggressive towards the wielder.
