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
Ender Pearls can be used on an Endermen (Right Click) to prevent them from teleporting.
