Where to Find Ender Pearl

Ender Pearl can turn up across All Overworld biomes (Endermen), The End, and Warped Forest (Nether), so the search area spans more than one place depending on which method you use. 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 most efficient method is straightforward — 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. Since this comes from a mob, the Looting enchantment on your sword raises the drop rate, and building or finding a dedicated spawn area turns a one-off kill into a renewable farm. Ender Pearl has been in the game since the original 1.0 release, so it behaves the same on every up-to-date world and server.
