many of you may have noticed that tele-porter topics have been getting a bit out of hand. It's almost as bad as when endermen first came out.
I have a strange, functional, and (most importantly) tiered solution.
here's how it works:
tier one: Ender Pearls.
leave them alone! the way notch implemented them is great, even if I wish I could teleport more often.
tier two: Ender Potions.
crafting Ender pearls gets ender dust (just like blaze rods) which can (again, like blaze dust) be crafted with slime-balls. this gives you four "Ender Slime." Ender slime can be made into potions, which can be thrown, in order to teleport you (only dealing 2 hearts of damage!).
tier three: Ender Stones.
assuming that you feel like it, and have the resources, Ender Slime can be crafted with Blaze Slime to create Flux. 8 Flux on a crafting grid with a mossy cobblestone in the center will give you two Ender Stones. THEY ARE NOT LIKE YOU THINK! instead of placing them (like every other suggestion out there) you may use them to fire a ball of energy, and teleport to where it hits. they have 50 uses each, and only deal a heart of damage.
tier four: Ender Staff (I really can not get behind this, but this is for those of you who need to have everything rise from obscurity to perfection.)
the ender staff is made with two blaze rods and an Ender stone, arranged diagonally. It can be charged like a bow, and fires the exact same projectile as the ender stone on the first two levels of charge. on the last level, it shoots an explosive fireball of death. overpowered as hell, but somebody was bound to suggest it eventually, or if not, then something like it. it has 55 uses.

Brohoof, bra. Brohoof.
I agree with all of that, and I believe that more things should be integrated into tiers than are now
