Okay, 1.8 has been officially released!!!! :smile.gif: Enderpearls finally have a use. That use being, YOU CAN ATTACK MOBS FROM ANY DISTANCE. THIS WORKS IN SMP PVP.
That, my friends, is completely and utterly overpowered. Before you say, "NO ITS NOT OMG ITS COOL!!!", imagine this.
Its enough when a castle walls has archers with bow crit that does 4.5 hearts of damage. But Imagine the 1-hit kill of a diamond sword crit (can be triggered by attacking while falling, like after jumping) from across the map. THAT is overpowered.
Or
Remember those times when you're coming back from an AMAZING mining run? You're almost home to stash your PRECIOUS 45 diamonds in your lwc (locked) chest, when suddenly, RAIDERS. You try to sprint away because you only have 5 hearts remaining, and your armor got destroied by a creeper explosion. You're almost at your base, but WHAT? You got killed from 30 blocks away by a diamond sword. WHAT THE F*** HAPPENED? Oh wait, its enderpearls.
Remember people, enderpearls work if they're in your hotbar, they don't have to be selected, and they are never consumed.
This is way too much of a change on pvp. This makes it so you can LITERALLY be one shot killed (if you have no armor) from upwards of 95 blocks away. The idea of being sniped by a sword is enough. But, that's insane, notch. Please, NERF THE ENDER PEARLS.
Its dropped by Endermen and when you have it in your hotbar, it enables you to be able to attack mobs / players from ANY distance (if you can see him / her / it, you can attack them.)
The ender pearl does not...
Allow the player to punch mobs from a distance (that is a feature of Creative Mode).
Teleport Endermen (that is their nature).
Keep them from becoming aggressive.
WOW! I tried that and it totally works! Although I don't see how you compare it to a diamond sword. It takes quite a few hits with it to kill anything. I do like this though, but I think they should at least give the pearl some durability, and a better animation.

It works even if it's in your hotbar. It doesn't have to be selected. Thus, you can use a diamond sword to kill something / someone from a distance.
You're confusing friendly fire with PvP. THis is a game of creativity not 2v2 or other types of crap like that. Sure comabt can be elements in a RP server, but to assume that MP is made for that is hogwash.
NOW!
Firstly, I'd like you to know this, in CREATIVE mode you are able to hit all mobs from a distance with anything.
Secondly, I've been rapidly swinging my ender pearl at every single mob I can find, and I have yet to be able to touch them.
The only thing I've seen ender pearls do, is cause endermen retreat in a backwards 'blink' when right clicked on with the ender pearl in hand.
I have yet to see anyone in SURVIVAL mode or SMP, use the ender pearl to do what you've said.
If you have proof (ie. video) then I'd be glad to retract my statement.

I'll put the "proof" video up tomorrow if i have time (I have 2 jobs + homework). I was sure to make sure that i was in survival, NOT creative. Because i know you can do that in creative. I've done it in SMP upwards of 90 blocks away. 2 hit kill with a diamond sword (I suck at critting...)
1. Make endermen smarter and stronger
2. Make enderpearls rare
3. Make enderpearls limitied (like less range)
4. Make enderpearls have limited uses
5. Make enderpearls harder to use (like require to be crafted or smelted)
6. Do something else

75% of the SMP servers have PvP enabled.

(yes, i know you're joking)
Exactly. Having unlimited uses just makes it even more overpowered.
Yeah, it does. I've tested it over and over in both multiplayer survival and single player survival. Wiki lied for once.
If you look at the page's version history, then you see, that earlier it did say that it enabled you to hit mobs from any distance.
I'll put one up tomorrow, school night, 11:23pm...
Look at version history, someone changed it. Origionally, it said, "and i quote"
"The ender pearl gives the wielder the ability to hit and damage mobs from any distance."
If you don't believe me, try it for yourself. make sure you're not in creative.

Of course, I don't mean all of them

That wiki page is what made me even TRY to do this.
Here's an edit that was made 30 minutes later.
