This article is about the invisible light-producing block. For light producing blocks in general, see Light § Light level.
Crafting Table
This article describes content that may be included in a future update. 
This content has appeared in development versions, but the full update containing it has not been released yet.

Light blocks are invisible blocks, primarily intended for map makers, that can produce any light level.

Obtaining

Light blocks cannot be mined, or even targeted, similar to air. Light Blocks with light level 0 are functionally identical to air. They do not attach to any block, meaning that breaking an adjacent block does not remove the light block. However, they can be broken by replacing them with another block. The exception is water (including flowing water) which can occupy the same space as a light block. See this page for details.

Light blocks are not in the player's creative inventory. They can only be obtained using /give, with any data value from 0 to 15. This value determines the block's light level.

Usage

A light block is normally used in adventure maps (while most just apply Night Vision or Conduit Power effects). This is also used by teachers to light up assignments. ‌[edu only]

Each light block (as a block or as an item) has an associated light level, which can be anything between 0 and 15 inclusive. In the player's inventory, light blocks display their light level in the top-left corner and appear "brighter" at higher light levels.

When placed as blocks, light blocks are non-solid and completely invisible. Unlike barriers and structure void, they do not reappear when the player is holding another light block.

Light blocks can be pushed and pulled by pistons, are detected by observers, and can be waterlogged.

Light Source

Light blocks produce their associated light level.

'''Super fertilizer''' is a powerful form of [[bone meal]] that is created using [[ammonia]] and [[phosphorus]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Lab table ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Result
! Materials Needed

!rowspan=2|{{slot|Super Fertilizer}}<br>[[Super Fertilizer]]
|{{slot}}{{slot|Ammonia|link=Compound}}{{slot|Phosphorus|link=Element}}{{slot}}
|-
|<center>[[Compound|Ammonia]], [[Element|Phosphorus]]</center>
|}

== Usage ==

Super fertilizer can be used in the same way as bone meal. It produces more [[flowers]] in a larger area when used on [[grass block]]s compared to bone meal. When super fertilizer is used on a [[sapling]], a [[tree]] is instantly grown after one use, instead of multiple uses as with bone meal. Super fertilizer matures crops with a single use.

Note that super fertilizer does not instantly grow a hanging [[mangrove propagule]]. This could be a bug.

An '''ender pearl''' is an [[item]] that can be thrown to [[teleport]] to where it lands, or used to craft [[eye of ender|eyes of ender]] which are required to access [[the End]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
An [[enderman]] has a 50% chance to drop 1 ender pearl when killed. The drop is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], with a maximum of 4 with Looting III.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|ender-pearl}}

A [[trapped chest]] always containing 2 ender pearls can be found in the "fake end portal" room of [[woodland mansion]]s.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|java}}, expert-level [[Trading#Cleric|cleric villagers]] have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell an ender pearl for 5 [[emerald]]s.

{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level cleric villagers sell one ender pearl for 5 emeralds.

=== Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s have a {{frac|10|459}} (2.18%) chance to [[barter]] 2–4 ender pearls when given a [[gold ingot]].

== Usage ==
Ender pearls can be thrown by pressing {{control|use}}. After it is thrown, the ender pearl is consumed, and the player teleports to where it lands, taking {{hp|5}} [[fall damage]]. Wearing armor enchanted with [[Protection]] and/or [[Feather Falling]] reduces the damage taken from the ender pearl. 

Ender pearls have a small cone of travel; they do not all follow the same path when thrown in the same direction. The direction and velocity of ender pearl throws is slightly randomized. They can travel about 30 blocks{{Only|java}}/45 blocks{{Only|bedrock}} when thrown straight up, and up to 54 blocks forward when thrown at an optimum launch angle of ~35° (on even ground).

The thrower's vertical velocity influences the throw. Hence timing a throw with a jump can increase the throwing range to 42 blocks when thrown straight up and 64 blocks forward at a 35° angle. Throwing while falling significantly decreases the range. Ender pearls collide with all [[minecart]] types, [[boat]]s, [[end crystal]]s and [[nether portal]]s, and travel through [[end portal]]s. Ender pearls that fall into the [[void]] disappear, and do not trigger the player to teleport. However, ender pearl entities (instead of dropped items) are ''not'' destroyed by lava and will teleport the player to the bottom of lava pools/lava oceans.

Ender pearls have a cooldown of one second before they can be used again. The cooldown is shown in the hotbar by a white overlay on the ender pearl that shrinks and must disappear before the player can use it again. If there are other inventory or hotbar slots containing ender pearls, they are covered with the white overlay as well.<ref>{{bug|MC-88236|||WAI}}</ref> 

Ender pearls can be thrown into [[end gateway]]s to reach the outer islands of the End. They can also be thrown into the [[exit portal]] to reach the player's spawn point.

Ender pearl teleportation makes no sound ''itself''{{only|java}}, but does emit a "small fall" sound at the destination when applying teleportation damage to the player.

=== Stasis chamber ===
Ender pearls are affected by [[bubble column]]s. An ender pearl can remain afloat on top of an upward bubble column, allowing it to be stored indefinitely. A mechanism can then be triggered to make the ender pearl hit a solid surface (e.g. by closing a [[trapdoor]]), teleporting the thrower back to the setup wherever they are.

=== Spawning endermites ===
An ender pearl has a 5% chance to spawn an [[endermite]] when it lands. This is the only way through which endermites can spawn, without using cheats. The endermite spawns at ''the player's position'' when the pearl lands{{only|je}}, or at the pearl's landing site{{only|be}}.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

== Sounds ==

== Trivia ==
*Ender pearls can be used to teleport/move through non-[[solid block]]s without suffocation and solid blocks by pressing against the blocks and using the ender pearl at the player's feet until the player goes through.<ref>{{bug|MC-2164}}</ref><ref>{{ytl|KA1UmxraeUg}}</ref>
*In ''Java Edition'', it is possible to spawn a thrown ender pearl using commands, but it does not teleport, unless it is assigned an owner.
*If the player throws an ender pearl and then dies before impact while the pearl is in a loaded chunk, the pearl disappears and the player is not teleported. Pearls in unloaded chunks do not disappear if their owner dies.
*If the player throws an ender pearl in Survival mode and changes to Creative mode before the pearl lands, the player is still teleported.
*The player is still teleported by throwing an ender pearl and entering [[the Nether]] before it lands. The pearl is not lost if an ender pearl is thrown into a [[nether portal]] and the player travels through the portal; the pearl lands and teleports the player as usual.
*If multiple ender pearls are thrown in succession, the player can be hurt only once from fall damage within about a one-second span.
*If a [[player]] dies from ender pearl teleportation, the [[death message]] says: "<player> hit the ground too hard".
*A thrown ender pearl faces toward the player in first-person view, while it appears rotated horizontal in [[third-person view]]. This is the case for all throwable items (ender pearl, [[egg]], [[snowball]], and all throwable [[potion]]s).
*Ender pearls and [[snowball]]s have the exact same range when fired. Therefore, snowballs can be used to predict the trajectory of ender pearls, or simply for practicing ender pearl throwing. This can be very helpful when the player has to throw ender pearls in dangerous environments, such as the Nether or the End.
*Despite the fact that ender pearls deal no damage to anything they're thrown at, provokable mobs (such as iron golems and piglins) will be provoked by the player if one is thrown at them.
