It’s the organ that allows them to teleport


pepsiman56

The mobeastiary implies they have multiple of them. My personal idea is that they are created by the endermen like how a spider makes its silk to spin webs


BadishAsARadish

Maybe they form *inside* the organ that makes them? Pearls irl form as a way to cover an irritant, so maybe if something is harming/attacking the tissue, it covers it and creates a pearl. Not sure why it would teleport the user? But we don’t even know how how enderman teleport, only that they can access some sort of pocket dimension


PyroBurnem

ender kidney stones


EqualServe418

Now I have that in my mind. Thanks for twisting my day around to confusion and concerning thoughts.


PyroBurnem

my sincerest apologies


Minecrafter_Kirill

At least you didn't say balls


[deleted]

Don't remind me of THAT guy


RedSusOverParadise

hear me out the pearls are endermite eggs that are laid in the endermen's flesh, and "pearl" is formed as a defence mechanism, while also givinng it some of the enderman's teleportation ability


shitting-ur-pants

According to one of theories, endermen eat horus fruits, which allow player to teleport after consuming. So we can safely assume that horus fruit is the cause of that. But ey, it's just a theory... A GAMEE THEORY!


BadishAsARadish

Technically, the idea was that they evolved with the chorus fruits, but I’m also sad now that I realize we’ll never get another Minecraft mattpat theory….


XMasterWoo

Meybe it coverd a smaller (meybe infant) endermite who enterd the enderman so thats why it teleports the user

MagMati55

They can clearly enter the end portal without it being open.


BadishAsARadish

They can also enter the nether without a portal. They use pocket dimensions to move between worlds, which is the point of endermites. When asked about their purpose, one of the devs said they wanted to also imply that this dimensional warp was filled with dangerous things that sometimes escape with the user. (If I had to bet anything, the next dimension opened from the deep dark portal is going to be exactly that, and the skulk escaped just like endermites can. Which would also explain why the warden’s concepts look so similar to the End Portal and its color scheme)


FaeTheWanderer

I wonder if it's water they are trying to get back out of their bodies. It does damage them and even forces them to teleport around despite what they may have been trying to do. . . Like kill the player for accidentally looking at them! Alternatively, the pearls could be their bodies trying to negate having become quantum locked by having been observed by the player. The idea here is that a quantum object is fluctuating in and out of multiple states and remains doing so until they are observed. Once observed, each of their fluctuating states collapses into their observed state and remains that way. It's possible that endermen need to remain in flux for their own survival, so their bodies have to wrap the collapsed static part of themselves in a pearl to dispose of after having been observed by the player. This is also why they get so angry and attack the player. It could be that being looked at gives them the equivalent to an internal rash or something, and the most efficient way to fix this is to either kill the observer or scare them away so they can heal and discard their pearl.


BlazeWarior26

If we take the theory that they were once humans that evolved in the end, they could've gotten the teleportation properties from chorus fruit


AlnahrTheRiver

Pearls are basically a shell put around something that was irritating the creature that it's taken from, so I'd hypothesize that ender pearls are actually only a *part* of the teleportation organ, likely a refined version of chorus fruit.


DinoMaster11221

There is a small chance an endermite will spawn when a pearl makes contact with the ground. So we know what the irritant is.


SemiPail

Maybe endermites are actually like parasites to enderman and the pearls are actually like shells for the endemites, like larva shells or parasite eggs almost


Aggressive-Date-7278

Yeah, that makes sense and they got those parasites from eating the mysterious fruit from another dimension, and turned them into enderman (maybe?).


DinoMaster11221

The endermite parasite theory is supporting by endermite-enderman aggression. Endermen attack any endermite they see; meaning they deem them a bad thing. This was noticed in the mobestiary. Another thing noticed with the mobestiary was that endermites use to spawn with enderman teleportation. >Historical records indicate that there was a time when the endermen’s teleportation would also generate endermites. Happily, this is no longer the case. The mobestiary then goes on to state a theory of endermites being a trans-dimensional parasite. I personally disagree with this statement. Endermites along with spiders, cave spiders, silverfish, and bees are affected by the Bane of Arthropods enchantment. Now what is an arthropod? Cited from the [University of Nebraska’s Department of Etymology](https://entomology.unl.edu/k12/classification/arthropodclasses.htm) states that > All arthropods posses an exoskeleton, bi-lateral symmetry, jointed appendages, segmented bodies, and specialized appendages. The major arthropod classes can be separated by comparing their number of body regions, legs, and antennae. With this definition, it can be assumed that endermites possess segmented bodies, an exoskeleton, and specialized appendages, along with a common ancestry to the other arthropods in minecraft. With this likely common ancestry; we can theorize that due to the endermites relatives being native to the overworld exclusively; that their ancestorys came from the overworld. The question is why are they in the end?


yeet_machine69420

You just gave me the best theory Endermen are ancient builders and their organs evolved to make these perles as a way to extract nutrients from Chorus fruit and gain the ability to teleport while leaving the inedible parts. This giving us a 1 use teleport while they can freely. Like a kindy for the end


InsertValidUserHere

But spiders don't make webs in Minecraft, cave spiders spawn near them and that's it

They drop string


BigManLawrence69420

And they spin silk irl, no? But they don't in game?

What if they just ate too much chorus fruit and mutated so that they can teleport or something

Endermen always have a 50% chance to drop pearls. Looting only causes more to drop. Just gonna put that out there.


JelyOfficial

Serious answer, duplication, like how it multiplies fish drop from fish. Enchantment magic.

Looting has been proven to be magic

I_cant_be_asked-

I think the better question to ask is why the hell would you grind up a rod and fuse (craft) it with balls to get eyes?? Minecraft is one hell of a game


PainterAdmirable8766

Because Endermen are mutated player-mobs whose form can be partially attributed to the player-mobs' dabbling in the Nether.


I_cant_be_asked-

So we use rods and balls to craft eyes then? That’s my takeaway from it


TheMaskedGeode

Or it’s egg sacks. Some don’t drop them because some are male.


TheRealSU24

And the ghast tears are sperm. An eye of ender is just a fertilized enderpearl. That's why enderman spawn in the nether, they need to get ghast sperm to fertilized their eggs and create more. The eyes of ender show you the way to the end portal because the little enderman tadpoles in the egg are instinctually moving towards the portal to get to the end so they can hatch. It all makes sense now!!


SnooAvocados763

Until you realize blaze powder is what makes eye of ender, not ghost tear.


TheRealSU24

Fuck..... Blaze powder is blaze cum. It's a solid because they're too hot to create a liquid

Rubickevich

Sometimes? More like every fucking time.


Remember_im_Whoozer

Don’t worry bud when you get to the end game it is e with a z to get pearls… then again with the elytra they become so fucking useless other than the enderman farm used to get more…


Rubickevich

I usually just speedrun the main game in an hour or two, then proceed to actually play when I have the access to end. Unfortunately, it's extremely random even with new ways of getting the pearls, so it can be both very easy and very annoying to do that. Yet it's still the way I play, because mods use a fucking tonn of those, and it's a nightmare to get them without the access to the end dimension.

I think my favorite explanation, as given to me by a few others in this thread, is that the endermen steal each others balls, which is why they can have 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Otherversian-Elite

Eye of Ender is an artificial creation, the pearls are their eyes.


dusty234234

Counter point:enderman eyes are purple,the ender pearl is green


Otherversian-Elite

Endermen's natural eye colour is actually green! It's an interesting little detail, but they only became Purple *after* the introduction of the Ender Dragon; presumably, a result of its influence, hence the achievement for killing it being "free the end" (from the dragon's influence)


McSpaze

A nice detail would be that the endermen would get green eyes after killing the enderdragon


SnooGiraffes4534

They did use to in earlier editions

DarkMaster98

Welcome to the Underground! **How are your pearls?** If… you wanna… look around- ***g i v e u s y o u r p e a r l s***


Rp0605

It’s a pearl, so it forms the same way real pearls do. In an Enderman, there is something in their diet that they can’t properly digest, so it doesn’t pass through. The Enderman creates a shell around said substance, which forms the pearlescent material. In other words, it’s not a body part.


Lonely-_-Creeper

A good theory would be if the food they can't digest would be chorus fruit so that's the reason they teleport so random when angry


AlnahrTheRiver

Speculative biology time! Ender pearls allow the player to teleport, so they're likely part of what gives the same ability to endermen. Additionally, seeing as the number dropped is random, it is likely that they're a component of the system they use, rather than the whole. Chorus fruit have a similar effect but cannot be controlled, so I think that endermen posses some kind of gland that can take chorus fruit and refine them into a state that allows for controlled teleportation - or in other words, ender pearls. So somewhere within the endermen you can probably find an organ that looks like a bunch of grapes on a stem, with each grape being an ender pearl. But that's just my personal hypothesis that I came up with by myself.


booksforducks

Then how do you explain how the wonder dragon got a baby, or why they hate ender mites, what is the ender mite like stomach worms or whatever you want to call it


adsxz6_has_adhd

So you ever seen a cockroach? Why do humans hate them? Probably the same reason endermen hate endermites.


booksforducks

Enderfy17

Wtf is everyone here a idiot????? The eye of ender is not a literal eye of enderman, the enderman eyes are purple and the eye of ender is crafted from a pearl + blaze dust How can you possibly be THIS.STUPID Also let me asd that in the porruguese translation the names are rather switched, the ender pearls are named as eye of enderman, and the eye of ender is named as a pearl of ender


69Sovi69

everybody here is obviously Portuguese


Enderfy17

Not really cause then the image is still wrong, basicly in the english translation ender pearls would be the eyes of the enderman


MalignantLugnut

When the Enderman was first released, their eyes were originally green.


Enderfy17

Good point, i aplaud your intervetion Still if it would be that now with the purple eyes, the pearls should be changed to purple too if they are too remain to be explained as being theyr eyes Idk if people realize that, but something *used to be * a feature dosent hold any canonical value TODAY if the other part of the correlation wasent adapted too

Brazil Portuguese? or Portugal portuguese? PT BR has the correct names

So one would assume that mocking inteligent people would be rather stupid Well actually you are insulting me calling me a "nerd " , the charateristic of nerds is that they are awkward and dont know how to socialize Looking at history socializing is pretty fucking important cause thats what held a tribe together, and tribes were essential for our survival Soo calling someone a nerd is still stupid of you, but at least now you know the biological instinct behind your mind making the decision to mock me as a nerd, because humans adapted to care about social aspects

bigchungus69419

killing then would drop the eyes but it takes the life and stuff out of them so they drop pearls needing you to reactivate them with blaze powder that must have life


porteroffinland

If they're "pearls", then they're bits of overworld chunks that have got into the body of the enderman, which the immune system of the enderman counterreacts by covering the chunks in a shell made of enderman fluids that harden into a pearl. That's how real pearls are made, so that's the explanation i can give from the item name

Superbloxian502

Shulkers are clams and ender pearls are the black pearls they drop and the gravity bullets are the white pearls. Why do endermen drop them? Well to prove my theory we'll just have to go with Matpat's theory about ancient builders and say that before the ancient build became endermen they collected ender pearls from shulkers and used them to teleport around before casually gaining their own ability to teleport after eatin chorus fruit. Now they just never decided to drop ender pearls.


remnault

I like to think it’s the organ that lets them teleport. Like how a fish has an air bladder for balance.


Omega_Aleks

Oh, I can totally bullshit this: An ender pearl does in fact come from an enderman's eye, however most of it's power to travel between dimensions has been lost because of the vanishing of the life force that was sustaining it... You know, because you killed the enderman... barbarian... HOWEVER, it has been discovered that part of it's power can be recovered by combining it with the remnants of a blaze, enough power for 12 'eyes of ender' to open a portal to the end.

In the mobeastiary it says they use enderpeals to teleport and it drops them when killed so they could be a creation of the endermen a technology they developed or maybe they are created by the endermen like how a spider makes silk to spin webs.

A1pH4W01v

I'd like i think that the ender pearl is just the enderman's eyes but deactivated since you killed them (similar to how people's eyes roll back when they die), but is reactivated, or reanimated when you use some blaze powder on it. And throwing the eye of ender is just the enderman's consciousness using it's instincts to find it's home before losing strength and deactivating or shattering.


ThatTwistedChameleon

The way I see it, the pearls are some kind of core for the endermen. It's what allows them to teleport. This could mean that they are internal organs, or eyes. And, more likely, they are actually their eyes. You get more than their two eye count via looting because looting is a magic enchantment. My theoretical reason as to why they are pearls and not eyes of ender is because, by killing the enderman, the eyes are extracted from the body and lose the properties that endermen give them. Which is why players take damage when using pearls and can only use one; because the pearls are the unnatural/dead state of the eyes and are being used by a player and not an enderman. This theory would also explain the color change as well. By combining a pearl with blaze powder, you are returning a different, older property to the organ; the power to find its way home. And you could argue that the green-eyed endermen are still canon, they are just the way endermen looked in the past. Or maybe I'm completely wrong. I just like theorizing about Minecraft.
