I'm not sure what your point is.
And you're forgetting one huge new element of the game:
experience orbs.
guess what? you lose them all if you die.
dying knocks you back down to level 1.
Experience orbs were added to the game in the same update as ender pearls.
Well how convenient is that.
It's as if notch wanted them to work together this way :3
At this point, levels don't do anything. They just give you bragging rights. I don't even think there's a real GUI that shows your actual level yet, it only shows your experience.
And if you're suggesting the ender pearls and your level should work together, then tell us what you're truly getting at.

I'm discussing future uses. Their use should be based on the full vision of the game, shouldn't it?
I explained it on an earlier page.
My idea is an extension to the SkyLands teleport idea. First off, the pearls should be changed to the color red, because, if they were to be made into blocks, it would be better to have them be red, rather than have ANOTHER blue block, like diamond and lapis blocks.You would craft 9 pearls into an Ender Block which could be used for aesthetics or a Skylands portal. A Skylands portal would be made out of the same structure as a Nether portal.

Sorry bro, but making blocks out of it is an ugly and terrible idea.
Similar to dust (redstone dust) making a block out of pearls is just weird. also, the endermen have nothing to do with the skylands, they arent flying or creatures of the sky or anything. they are like shadow creatures from the farlands. sort of like twisted perversions of humans. the minecraft equivalent of glitched creatures manifested into existence.
maybe the ender portal idea is great! but i think it shopuld teleport you to alternate universe, with weird blocks and physics. if that can't happen, just do a darkness dimention filled with strange creatures of the dark, and only glowstone blocks will work there, not torches
or maybe tyhe ender orbs could be crafted into ender bubbles, where ou can travel short distances in the air, and the bubble should be able to pop at any moment, so it wont be overpowering
it also uses 9 ender pearls to make and is used up in 1 use
Well, first i think it would be an epic idea for the ender pearls to be teleportation pearls. BUT! this might accaully but the truth, in the movie perce jackson and the olympians or what ever the movies name was they had to find the blue pearls that would take them anywhere they wanted when they stepped on it, they just had to be thinking of it... so, notch may make it so it teleports you to the location your staring at. Oh p.s. if you dont know who notch is... just wow... he is this guy --->
to all of you thinking about how ender blocks would be too overpowered you have to remember that ender pearls only drop from about 1 in every 4-5 enderman and it taking 9 pearls to make one block i think is COMPLETELY balanced

If Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were all destroyed, 90% of teens would go insane. If you're one of the 10% that would be laughing at them, copy this into your signature and hope it happens. Snooch To The Nooch
Collecting a stack of them could let you craft the slenderman summoner. Or make you go super saiyan.
I REALLY like that second part

I was personally thinking you could make a teleporter block with enderpearls plus redstone, and etc. Then the teleporter is activated by redstone and it would teleport you to another teleporter block. I think each teleporter block you could chose a channel such as 100 and then you make two teleporters that have the channel 100 you could then teleport back in forth between those two teleporters. Just my idea.
Heres an idea I had: Spawning friendly endermen. You can order them to attack other players in MP, or order them to attack different mobs in SP (both in MP)
I was gonna suggest teleport pads that work by using redstone in conjunction with the pad. Although I've thought of some balancing suggestions for it.
The pads themselves would be fairly cheap, but make only 1 at a time
Where torches are redstone torches, the flow is redstone and the coal is pearls. To teleport you need 2 teleporters and a redstone connection. When teleporting, you travel along the redstone connection in a ghostly view, at the speed of a boosted minecart. Should the connection be severed in-route, you are instantly killed.
i was thinking a staff that is crafted using sticks and ender pearl(or maybe concentrated ender pearl. would be like 9x9 grid of ender pearls to make then this is added to two sticks to make the staff)
the staff could be used to teleport back mobs and teleport yourself x blocks.
How about...
First, you craft a Pearl Block. With...9? 4? Whatever Notch likes. Then, you set it in your house, or in your mine or something. After getting enough pearls, you craft a second block, and place it somewhere. Now, the two most recent are connected by a semi-invisible link that Notch CAN make if he wants to. If not, well, let luck be on your side. So, stand next to the block will start a 'portal' animation, but with a black Endermen face instead. Not to scare, but you are using something you took from the dead bodies of Endermen, thus you must be traveling through their realm. After it finishes, you will appear next to the other block, in the same block you were standing in correlation to the previous one. How is that?

- Used to repair items
- Wolf food.. ?
- Reinforce existing tools
- Brighter torches
Or maybe even something as simple as various decorations. Medals of victory, if you will.
