Where to Find Ender Pearl
3 places carry Ender Pearl: All Overworld biomes (Endermen), The End, and Warped Forest (Nether). Which of them you walk into depends on the route you take to Ender Pearl. Endermen spawn at night in the Overworld on blocks with light level 0. The Warped Forest in the Nether has extremely high Enderman spawn rates, making it the best farming location. In total, Ender Pearl can reach your inventory through collecting it as a mob drop, looting it from generated structure chests, trading with the right villager, and bartering with Piglins in the Nether, so you can pick whichever path your current world makes easiest.

Best Way to Get Ender Pearl
The quickest way to Ender Pearl is the obvious one, and it is efficient enough: get it as a drop from Endermen (0-1 per kill, up to 4 with Looting III). Piglin bartering (throw Gold Ingots at Piglins) has a chance to give 2-4 Ender Pearls. Throw Ender Pearls to teleport up to 30 blocks in the throwing direction. Takes 2.5 hearts of damage on each teleport. Looting is worth the enchantment here: it lifts the number of Ender Pearl you get per kill at every level, and a farm built around the spawn point keeps them coming without you going out to look again. the original 1.0 release is where Ender Pearl entered the game, and it has worked the same way ever since, so nothing here depends on which update you are on.

View the Ender Pearl item pageGetting Ender Pearl in practice
Ender pearls come from endermen, which spawn at night in the Overworld and by the hundred in the End. Farming them in the Overworld is slow; the practical route is a warped forest in the Nether, where endermen spawn thickly and there is no water to get in the way.
What to watch out for with Ender Pearl
Endermen teleport away from you in the rain and when hit at range, which is why the reliable way to farm pearls is a dark enclosed space where they cannot escape. Looting III on the sword raises the drop, and a single good session covers a stronghold hunt.
