Enderpearls. Those really nice things that let you teleport anywhere you can throw. Wouldn't it be nice if you could dispense them from a dispenser?
This idea is simple: Add a new item, the attuned enderpearl. This would be a shapeless recipe requiring 1 enderpearl and one ghast tear.
This would yield one blank attuned enderpearl. Right clicking with a blank enderpearl would attune it to you. An attuned enderpearl would show in the flavor text below it "Linked to _____", where _____ is your name. It would also glow as though enchanted. Then, right clicking again would throw this enderpearl. Regardless of who threw it, you would appear right there. Even if a dispenser threw it, you would still appear right where it hit.
There would be no way, outside of inventory hacking, to counterfeit an enderpearl. That means that giving someone your enderpearl is like an ultimate mark of trust, because throwing an enderpearl into lava means a TP into lava.
So what does this do?
Allows for redstone teleportation mechanisms by using dispensers.
Allows you to call your friends in for backup when you need them.
Allows automated notification systems for things like raffles.
Allows new black-market dealing on PVP servers.
Allows servers to have a way of getting everybody on the server into an important area quickly.
Let me know what you think.
Edit: Attuned Ender Pearls would loose their attuned status upon their owner being killed. That way, PVPers can't suddenly kill you because they killed your friend.
I can actually see this working. At first I thought 'Hmm... This could be kinda OP', but in further thought I realised that you can't really counterfeit it, so griefers wouldn't be able to abuse them. Perhaps these should be totally erased at death, so if a griefer kills someone, they wouldn't be able to steal it for abusive purposes.

Be caring, please help my dragon hatch by giving him a little click.
I completely forgot about death. Yeah, that makes sense. You wouldn't want that to happen to you if you or one of your friend got killed. So yeah, they should either return to a vanilla enderpearl (That way you can reuse them, but with a cost) or just vanish, I'm not sure which.

My nephews and I have started posting Minecraft videos on my YouTube channel! Fairly random, but enjoyable.
General schedule is 4 PM Mon-Fri and 10 AM Saturdays. Most popular MC vid so far is the one Vechs laughed at on Twitter!
