im sorry i hate to do this to someone who just wants to end a fight but this is wrong.
i tested it in the original 1.8 to and have seen people test it in 1.8pre and it just dint work. at all.
trying my own backup of 1.8, it seems to work. seems there was a hidden update then, that havent changed the version. if its true, most people are using 1.8B, while the bug exists on 1.8A
Okay, I just tried essentially all of the suggested uses I could find here or on the wiki on a SSP map.
Attacking Endermen/mobs from a distance.
Mining from a distance.
Throwing one into lava causes Endermen to appear.
Speeding up mining.
Transmute dirt blocks into sand.
Reduce Enderman detection range.
Cause Endermen to flee.
Cause Endermen to teleport.
Cause Endermen to not teleport.
Stop aggro from Endermen/mobs.
Most of that list sounds like trolling, obviously.
Attacking Endermen/mobs from a distance.
Mining from a distance.
That is/was a real bug, though it had nothing to do with ender pearls when I experienced it. It did however seem to come right before a crash, much like when you can't break blocks.
It was like, on very rare occasions when you cursor over an endermen standing far away, they don't teleport but rather freeze. If you swing your sword while your cursor is still in that direction, the glitchy mob out in the distance will take damage and die. If you kill it, things go back to normal.
Just because at one point the wiki said the Ender Pearl has a purpose, doesn't mean it actually did. Someone could have easily edited the page to contain a falsehood, and then it would have been swiftly changed. Thus, OLD information from a website that ANYONE CAN EDIT cannot be used as evidence.
As for other evidence, I'm still not convinced, and I think the poll was posted prematurely, as it assumes that this THEORY is FACT.
Personally, I'm hoping the Ender Pearl would be used for crafting, because I'd love Ender Pearl armor

Well, I sure know I had a good reason to report you.

Curse Premiumsince most of the people here failed to use common sense, heres the story:
at the release, 1.8, the ender pearl bug of unlimited range appeared.
this was then posted on wiki.
on 1.8.1, this bug was fixed.
due to the short time of 1.8 being online, most people werent able to test it.
the bug was then removed off wiki and got declared a rumor.
happy now, everyone?

Curse PremiumI still have pre1, pre2, and 1.8, and I can't get it to work in any of them, either.

You could check without MPC, it would just be harder to find which class is for the enderpearl.

Verdict: Could not replicate any of these events.

Maybe its been fixed in 1.8 or 1.8.1?
Where did you pull that number from?
