How to Get Ender Pearls in Minecraft

Among all the different hostileMinecraft mobs, you’ll very rarely see an Enderman, a dark, tall, and skinny purple-eyed mob. If you’ve ever managed to kill it, you’ll see it drops a very strange item called ender pearl. This is a fairly useful item that grants superpowers. If you seem to find yourself in an ender pearl shortage and want to know how to get more of it, keep reading our in-depth guide here.

1. Defeat Endermen

As mentioned in the first paragraph, the main way of obtaining ender pearls is through killing endermen. They rarelyspawn in dark placesin the Overworld, such as caves or on the surface during the night. Moreover, you’ll also find endermen in the Nether dimension.

They are residents of thewarped forestMinecraft biome, and you’ll usually find a decent number of them there. They can also spawn in some other Nether biomes but in far lower numbers. Their home, though, is theEnd dimension, where you’ll find lots and lots of endermen everywhere.

Endermen are really powerful and tanky mobs that can teleport, so don’t even think about fighting them if you’re not prepared. Make iron or even diamond gear and try enchanting it with basicenchantments. Once youlook at the enderman’s face directly, it will get aggravated, so prepare for an attack.

In addition, there are some cheesy ways to deal with these mobs. One of them is to simplystand below a platformthat’s right above the player’s head, so it’s three blocks tall. Endermen are three blocks tall as well, so they physically won’t be able to get to you.Swipe at the mob with your weapon, and eventually, it will die.

You can also place aboatnear it and nudge the enderman into it. Once in the boat, endermen won’t teleport so that you can kill them pretty safely. However, I still recommend not getting too close. An enderman has a50% chanceto drop one ender pearl. Though, looting III enchantment can crank this number up to 4.

2. Loot Strongholds

The next best way to get ender pearls in Minecraft is by looting thestrongholdstructures. They are rare underground abandoned buildings that generate in the Overworld and have some chests scattered about. There is a23% chanceyou’ll find a single pearl in the altar chests.

3. Barter with Piglins

Another dangerous method of getting ender pearls involves going back into the Nether andfinding some piglins. They spawn in the crimson forest, as well as in theNether wastes biomes. Make sure to wear some gold armor before approaching them.

Once there, throw some gold ingots at them or right-click them. The process that takes place then is calledpiglin bartering. They will examine the gold and throw random goods. One of these can be a stack of 3-4 ender pearls. However, the odds of this happening are quite low.

4. Trade with Clerics

Now, the only calm way of getting ender pearls is to visit your localvillageand trade with some clericMinecraft villagers. Their workstation block is abrewing stand. Level the cleric all the way up to theexpert level, and they will most likely offer the ender pearl trade.

5. Make an Enderman Farm

Finally, if you need a lot of ender pearls, you should definitelyhow to make an enderman farm. However, it should be located in the End dimension, so you must learnhow to beat Minecraftfirst. Once done, you should be ready.

How to Use Ender Pearls in Minecraft

Now that you know how to get ender pearls, let’s see what they actually do. The main and the coolest power you get with these items isteleportation. Yes, you can teleport just like the endermen mobs themselves.

Select the ender pearl on yourhotbarand right-click towards a random direction. The pearl will get thrown, and you’ll teleport to the spot where the pearl lands.

This can be a great way of fast travel and a way to get away or out of a tricky situation. However, remember thatyou’ll take damagefrom the pearl landing, so make sure to eat and regenerate your health.

You’ll also need to practice quite a bit before understanding how to use the ender pearls, as they are not easy to predict. Unfortunately, it’s possible toland in a block and suffocatewhile using ender pearls, so be careful.

Furthermore, when an ender pearl lands, it can summon anendermite, a small and annoying hostile mob that is a necessary part of enderman farms.

Finally, ender pearls are part of the crafting recipe for theeye of ender, an item that helps you locate the stronghold and enter the End.

That’s about it. Now you know how to get ender pearls in several ways and how they function in Minecraft. Some players use them all the time, while most never really bother with learning the ender pearl skills. Which side are you on? Share with us in the comments below!
