ender pearls

[adderman500]

I think pearls would be alright. Not much need for any kind of building in the end, if people build ender man grinders the problem is ender pearls would become unbelievably common and get rid of the whole "difficult enough to get" thing, which is a pro for enderpearls in my mind.

Honestly, if there's no dragon periodically, there's no point to the end. People will scour the place with looting III swords and have a plethora of pearls.

I vote for pearls and no end (unless we arrange a monthly event for the dragon).

Originally it was proposed that people only be able to throw them from outside protection, but it seemed kind of useless. What if we made it so people could throw them from the outer 20% of the town, but not from the rest?

disagreed. you couldn't place tnt inside protection. why should you be able to use your alternate entry tool inside a gen's radius (unless it's your own)?

 

[Psychedelic98]

You could accurately shoot tnt hundreds of blocks from outside of protection, you can't do that with enderpearls. Enderpearls are also less powerful. Tnt creates large openings, enderpearls exploit small openings.

I understand. This is the middle ground man. It's gonna require practice and more precision but there will be no more holes in walls or risk of 'grief for entry'. This all, of course, if Crypt approves and takes this route.

Then town owners would just make their walls world height of have a glass ceiling or just put the town underground.

Providing pearls are only allowed in neutral or friendly areas, I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to stop people from throwing them into your town. What you do need to do is make sure that once they get inside they cannot get out alive. Be smart about how accessible your Ender Chests are and don't leave holes which would make pearling easy.

I can't count how many times I've glitches through walls by mistake on vanilla. People will have to be careful not to..

 

[Psychedelic98]

Ender glitching has been fixed for quite a while in minecraft. Trust me, I've tried.

 

[Leasaur]

Trust me

no.

 

[Psychedelic98]

Trust me

no.

Thank you for your reply. It was as insightful and helpful as they always are.

 

[Leasaur]

My pleasure, Psy :3

 

[andrekeroxd]

Psy's right though, I've been trying on a plethora of SMP servers to glitch with pearls and it's no longer possible.

Like u said in the other thread, ender pearls are easily defendable. Just either make your towns wall world height limit (unpractical and ugly), have a glass sheet just below the top of a normal height wall (may spawn monsters), or just make you town completely underground (takes time digging hole and lack of surface nature).

 

[adderman500]

Or Laz you could alternatively be OK with the thought of raiders getting in and just making sure there aren't any gaps in places where you store valuables. I think your 3 alternatives were a little wild and over the top for such a minor tool for raiders.

 

[Lazuli73]

They may be over the top but they guarantee safety.

 

[adderman500]

There are far easier ways of doing this.

 

[yo_josh_man]

If enderpearls do become acvtive I think any sort of grinder for enderman shouldn't be allowed. If people are so worried about being enderpearled into there towns don't leave valuable stuff accessible to anyone without perms. Ender pearls would help a lot when building big projects.

 

[Zor95]

There is no such thing as an enderman grinder outside of the End.
