Ender Pearl Guide: Teleportation and Eyes of Ender

Quick answer: The modern Java item ID is minecraft:ender_pearl. Throwing one teleports the player to where it lands, and pearls are also used to craft Eyes of Ender.

Use pearls as travel tools, not just loot

An Ender Pearl gives fast, targeted movement when a route is blocked or a landing spot is visible. The destination is the point where the pearl lands, so aim only at places you can safely occupy. A missed throw can put you in water, on a ledge, or in another hazard.

Keep some pearls for progression. Eyes of Ender are needed for stronghold navigation and End portal activation, so using every pearl for short-distance travel can delay the next objective.

Know which related item you need

An Ender Pearl is not an Eye of Ender. The pearl is the throwable ingredient; the Eye is the crafted progression item used to locate and complete an End portal. The linked Eye of Ender page explains that separate command and crafting path.

If you are using commands for a map or server event, copy the ID above for the pearl itself. Choose the Eye of Ender ID only when the finished eye is what the player should receive.
