My idea for a use for ender pearls would be the ability to make special bow and arrows.
The ender bow could be made like a normal bow, but with an ender pearl block instead of the middle stick and redstone between the string and pearl. Ender arrows would be made similar to a normal arrow, but obsidian in the middle instead of sticks, and an ender pearl block instead of flint, with one redstone on each side of the ender pearl block (made the same way as a normal block of iron, gold, etc.).
Ender bows could only shoot ender arrows, ender arrows would fire about the same length as a normal arrow, but take much longer to charge (around 10-15 seconds for fully charged), and firing it costs quite a bit of hunger (from fatigue, the ender bow is hard to pull back because of how much mmore resistance it has to be to fire the heavy ender arrows.) Also, the ender bow would only have about as many shots as a gold tool has uses (or less) Each player could onlyy have one arrow in the world at once.
When fired, the arrow would stick in the object, or into a mob (no damage) (probably should bounce off players, or be a server setting) if stuck into an object, hold the right mouse button with the bow out to telepoert to the object (a few seconds to warm up, getting hit interrupts it, and maybe have a range limit) .
If fired into an animal or monster, holding right mouse button will summon the monster to the block the player is looking at (max of 5 blocks from the player) would allow you to catch animals for farms, and bring monsters to you if needed.
Woah, I haven't been on this account in ages. Anyways, here's me thoughts on this. After going through the wiki a few times, I read on the lower half of the future updates page about Jeb making stronger weapons. So taking that into account, Ender Pearls might be used to "upgrade" tools for lets say 1.5x the durability and 1.25x the speed? The recipe might be something like
With the arrow being the tool, and the diamonds being the pearls.
Sorry if anyone else posted a similar idea, I didn't really read through the pages yet.
Ok so I was thinking of making a multipurpose tool of it. So for my purposes
Flint= Ender pearl
Flower= Redstone
Water= Lapis
Everything else is the same
Makes redstone pearl. Its function would be that of a button but mobile, you could use it to apply a redstone charge to what ever you hit.
This makes an enderbomb, it would be like a grenade, it fires like a snowball and on collision it blows up a 5x5 area (explosion radius is up in the air)
This makes a Water pearl. It allows you to breath under water but loses a use each time you go underwater, 20 uses (too many? too little?)
Thats all I can think of for now, how does it sound?
They should be used to craft teleporters. Two teleporters link together, and when you place them both you can go between them by stepping on them. :biggrin.gif:
4 enderpeals to make a enderblock, get enough enderblocks to make a enderportal (size of nether portal) and light it up with a a unknown drop the new mob in the nether will have, and you can go to either the moon (which i doubt)
or the endermans homeland, and if you can kill the queen endermen, endermen will either disapear forever, or they find a new queen in which you will have to kill it! and so on and on and on!

Great idea but i despise everyones idea of "EnderPearl Blocks". I think that you should craft arrows with them in place of flint then where they land you teleport. But have them fly at a far less distance than a normal arrow to not overpower it.Also you couldn't pick them back up and they do hardly and damage.Oh and you should be able to shoot it with a normal bow. redstoners might not want to waste precious wire.
well what about the idea that enderman can be made in to difficultys such as a enderman with blue smoke is a weak ender man and my drop a ender shard which can be made into an ender pearl then a green endermans smoke is an average enderman like normal difficulty and it drops a ender pearl and a enderman with red smoke is a rare one that s a hard level and can be like the boss endermans body guard and when killed it can drop a ender key that leads to the boss enderman who emits black or brown smoke and when he is killed he can drop a ender tamer which like you can tame 1 ender man or other aggressive mob also u can crafdt thing with them like tools and armor just an idea and a long one think about it notch :3
I've seen waaayyyyyy too many teleporting suggestions here.
Maybe, ender pearls could slow down time.You right click with an ender pearl and everything(Except the player) moves slower, and uses a pearl every 2 seconds.
Since Endermen are the real masters of teleporting, (like a bear uses their claw better than a person can by holding it)
the effect of the Ender Pearl should be wild and unpredictable. It should teleport you to a random surface in a 10 block radius, so you couldn't use it to teleport where you like but you could get out of a creeper's exploding zone. It should use a pearl every time you do this.
There shouldbe a "enderblock" when 9 enderpearls are put in the crafting table it makes one. what it does it makes a 20 block radius around you and enderman can not spawn or teleport in, however they can walk in.
Maybe you could use the ender pearls so that the ender men cant see you, or you could craft them into a helmet or something so that all mobs dont attack you. Just an idea.
what i have in mind is having a teleporter that you can use to instantly teleport you to your mine or halfway across your world to another base. You can craft the teleporter out of components each one using Multiple ender pearls and other items(possibly redstone, diamonds, and maybe even gold). having them made out using components makes harder to make since you'll probably need several diamond to make all the components.
I sort of like the Idea of being able to teleport a few blocks away, maybe a maximum of 10-15 blocks. It might help for climbing, and catching yourself when you're falling, (if you're skilled enough) Maybe each Enderpearl would have a certain amount of teles, and would have a depletion bar under it, like normal tools. Every time you use it, it goes down. Nothing new.

I would have a Rainy Day texture pack image here, but it was too big.

Just my probably over complex idea.
