I would like to get some Ender pearls in order to find the End portal, i'm just not sure how to do it. I don't really like the idea of hunting for them. I've been playing on my current world for 20 or 30 hours and have only seen 2 Enderman total. Not really encouraging for hunting them. I thought making a farm for them, but designs for overworld Enderman farms are hard to come by and the ones I do find are massive builds that i'm not interested in.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around 2 stacks of pearls without hunting for them or building a massive farm? I could always trade a villager for them, but getting enough raw materials for the trades seems even more tedious than hunting for them.
You don't have to make a large farm for endermen. The size of the farm just affects the frequency of endermen that will get killed in it, and therefore the amount of enderpearls you will get in a given amount of time.

Just kill any endermen you come across while mining/building/exploring etc. and it'll add up.
This. I usually find a couple of Endermen while mining, and they become an annoyance while scanning the horizon, that's for sure. I usually get enough to make 24 eyes of ender, in the event that I somehow lose my first set. (always be prepared. )

Feel Free to PM me to talk about anything. Read the guidelines below if you want me to respond though.
1. I' not debating anything. This is a forum, a place for relaxing and having fun.
2. Don't PM me support questions.
3. Don't ask me to join your Faction/League/Clan.
4. If you need someone to write a lore for an RPG or help with some story ideas, don't hesistate to ask me! Although please note I can and will refuse to help with the storyline at any time.
5. Even if you have no other reason to PM other than just to say hi and chat, that's fine! I don't use PM just for straight serious stuff, I'm more than happy to chat.
Well, you shouldn't expect it to be an overnight task. I've been in one world for the past 2.5 years and still haven't been to the End (though, granted, that's partly by choice). I only have... maybe 4-5 stacks of ender pearls? And that's not by hunting - that was just by killing ones I came into contact with. So, if you go out and hunt them chances are you'll end up with a lot more than me in a much shorter amount of time.
While trading eyes of ender is convenient, I would never do it (but again, that's just because I can easily make them). I'd rather take the time to collect ender pearls/blaze powder instead of wasting stacks of emeralds on them. But that's just me; even if you could trade raw materials for emeralds first, it would still take you some time to get enough.
Basically, point is that either way, you should expect to spend some time getting there. There aren't really many ways to cheat the system when it comes to getting to the End.
LP series? Not my style! Video series? Closer, but not quite. Survival journal, maybe? That's better. Now in Season 4 of the Legends of Quintropolis Journal (<< click to view)!! World download and more can be found there.
Also, if you don't want to set up a big farm, I would suggest getting some enchanting going. With a Looting III sword, you can get up to 4 Ender Pearls at a time killing Endermen...
Yeah I just kill any that I see at night when puttering around my compound or when I'm traveling. They aren't as common when caving so get relatively few that way. If actively hunting them I would head out to a desert because it's easier to see mobs at night there and deserts have some fairly flat areas to run around in. Just setup a safe zone to escape into in case feeling overwhelmed or need a brief break.
Any time you see one, kill it. Never use raw Ender Pearls. During day, search unlit caves for Endermen. During night, go roaming for a bit. You should find one quickly. You could also make a 3 high underground layer for Endermen to spawn. This could double as a diamond mining outpost.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
