So I've been thinking for a while now, I think enderpearls should have another great use. My idea for enderpearls is: Ender dust! You can place it on the floor just like redstone, and you would get it by mixing an enderpearl with 4 redstone in the crafting table and get 4 ender dust. (see ender dust crafting recipe) What this dust would do is you would put it on the floor to make a current, and it looks pretty puch like redstone only it's purple with enderman particles.
You're probably thinking, "Da fuq?" and that's probably because I haven't told you what it does yet.
What it does is you hook it up to something that would be made by putting an ender dust in the middle of the crafting table with diamonds in the corners and iron ingots in the remaining places. (see ender transporter crafting recipe) This would make an "ender transporter" or something else if you have a better name for it.
So then, you put the ender transporter down and you make a line of ender dust to wherever you want to go.
Once you are where you want to be, you put another ender transporter down, and so now, you can right click on the ender transporter with some ender dust to "charge" it, and then when you step on it it will teleport you to the other transporter, no need to charge the other side. Once it's charged then used, you'll have to charge it again to use it.
And in between the wires you would need ender repeaters (Artifact123's idea) to restore the current every 15 blocks. (see ender repeater crafting recipe)
This is a really simple idea, it just takes a while to explain. All you critics out there are all going to yell at me in the comments saying stuff like, "WAAAY too OP man, this would make minecraft too easy!" and trust me, I see this a lot. And I understand this idea could use some development. Tell me what you think of this idea in the comments and vote in the poles. I"ll add onto this post with your ideas once I get some feedback.
(Just a reminder, you would have to have a lot of enderpearls to make a long line) (I like pointing out the obvious) (I also like making multiple parentheses)
PS: I'm sorry this post has to be so long. Also don't be shy to press that up arrow in the bottom-right corner of this post. I've also been editing this main post a lot.
Something rather interesting was suggested in the comments. I was requested to add a poll about people who use the system improperly, like trying to power a broken/sabotaged line, getting punished, or more being reminded of their unconnected line, when trying to teleport in a disjointed circuit. So it's like you get shocked by the electricity going back to you instead of to the other end. Vote in the poles about this, as I took the commenter's suggestion to add on to the poll. It doesn't have any (or very many) votes at this time but some will role in eventually.
Any ideas? Share your thoughts in the comments and I'll put your ideas down here!
Change the recipe for the ender repeater so it's with end stone instead of regular stone?
Change ender repeater recipe so stone is instead obsidian and the redstone to ender dust?
Change ender dust recipe so ender pearls are ender eyes?
Ender Dust Crafting Recipe: (This gives you 3 ender dust)
I was thinking the Ender Transporter would be a way to get Command Blocks in survival, but this idea, I so like it. I just wanna be clear, this is like being teleported from one end of the wire to the other? Like telephone calls?

Yes, I do think that is what he means. This would be awesome but I think it might be overpowered, because once you've reached The End you can easily make extremely long wires so I think the signal should die out after 30 blocks(having a darker color and no enderman particles) and would need some kind of repeater, which in my opinion should be made with gold.

Overall the best teleport-suggestion I have seen so far, though my senses tells me to always bash a thread where someone takes and already existing item or block and puts the name "ender" in front of it and gives it teleportical-properties. I must also say that the concept of teleportation already exists in the form of the neather portal, though many seems to forget this value it is non the less existent.
It's one of the more interesting teleportation proposals I've seen, for certain. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. I kinda like it, I guess. It'd certainly be a neat mod.

Are you always so pessimistic?
Yes, yes I am. A pessimist is always either right, or pleasantly surprised.

I agree with this. It needs a way to limit its power. Repeaters or a new teleporter every 25 blocks or so. I support this idea.
Thanks for the feedback, guys! One thing that you could have to do would be to put down like an ender torch or something to restore the current? (like a redstone torch) I don't know, but if you have a good idea to make it less OP, I can add it to the main post.
I honestly like this idea.
I would suggest maybe adding diamonds into the mix to make it a little more expensive. Maybe a diamond surrounded by ender dust to get 4 ender wires (or whatever you want to call them).
Just a small suggestion you may want to flesh out your op a bit. It's just a little tough on the eyes.
Good idea though

How about...
The recipe for making the ender transporters is an enderpearl in the middle, iron ingots in the corners, and diamonds in the remaining spaces. Still not quite sure how to make this not too op with the wiring.

Hmm Maybe 1 enderpearl surrounded by 4 redstone in crafting makes 4 enderdust? It mixes with the redstone to give power? Not sure exactly how to work it out.

My only issue is that using a renewable material, such as a mob drop, is that it would be too easy to obtain in large numbers for those who set up mob farms. I kind of like the idea of using redstone with "ender dust" but I'm guessing if you had a dust emiting enderman particles, that it would be more laggy than redstone. If it didn't lag, it wouldn't really be a bad idea. Could you give me a better idea of how the endertransporter would work though?

Ender dust (in wire form) wouldn't lag any more than redstone does, and the wires would only give off a moderate amount of particles. And the how the ender transporter works is you put down one of the things, and then you connect ender dust (wire form) to the ender transmitter. Then you connect another ender transmitter to the other end of the same wire. An idea I had is that you have to "power" the transmitter for a short period of time with ender dust to allow it to work. Just a thought.

We have nether transport and really it just seems like a bad idea
