The Ender Pearl is an item in the 1.8 update, and it is found in the leaked 1.8 pre-release.
The Ender Pearl is sometimes dropped from Endermen upon death. If a player has a pearl in their inventory, Endermen will no longer automatically attack you upon visual contact. They will, however, target you after you look at them and immediately attack you once you look away, as opposed to automatically teleporting and charging if you didn't have a pearl.
Bugs
- If you are standing on top of an Ender Pearl and holding one in your hand, if you press Q to drop the one in your hand you can continue to drop the Ender Pearl seemingly forever. This is most likely caused by you picking up the Pearl on the ground after dropping the one that you have and it not disappearing from the ground.
