The Hue-changed versions! Click for the Colour-changed ones and the Original + Greyscale!

[ghostprinceiii]

I already forced everyone on the Discord to look at these so now I’m posting them here since in retrospect that would have been a better idea from the start!

Anyways! I put together an Enderpearl and some recolours using blending modes! I think they’re fun! These ones are the Original, Greyscale, and Color-changed versions.

This is part ½ so Click for the Hue-changed versions!

i wish i had enderpearls, being able to travel throwable distances in a few seconds is worth a little extra pain imo

FANON FRIDAY- ENDER PART 1: ENDERPEARLS

Hello lovely followers to my first installment of Fanon Friday! 

For the next couple weeks I will be covering everything Ender, and this week I will be discussing:

Enderpearls: Their Qualities and Uses

So to begin, let's just refresh on what the canon says about enderpearls: 

Enderpearls are classified as raw materials, have no durability, and stack in 16. They are a renewable drop from Endermen, making their supply endless in game.

Usage: In game usage of the enderpearl is described as 

Throwing an Ender Pearl by right clicking will cause the user to teleport to its impact location, consuming the Ender Pearl, and dealing 5 ( 2 1/2 hearts  ) damage to the user. Wearing enchantedarmor with Feather Falling or Protection reduces the amount of damage taken. If the player doesn't have enough health, the player dies after teleporting.

Ender Pearls are useful to teleport to hard-to-reach locations, such as up/down/across ravines or cliffs. They are also useful to escape death, such as if the player is trapped by a group of mobs or if the player accidentally falls in a pit of lava.

Enderpearls also are able to be crafted into Eyes of Ender, which are necessary for being able to reach The End by means of the End Portal found in your world's stronghold. These eyes of ender are made though combining an ender pearl with blaze powder like so

Before moving on to the headcanons, it should also be noted the trivia linked to enderpearls as described on the minecraft wikia:

Ender Pearls can be used to teleport/move through non-solid blocks by pressing against the blocks and using the Ender Pearl at the player's feet until the player goes through.

Protection and Feather Falling enchantments both reduce falling damage taken from the Ender Pearl. With enough protection and enough pearls, one could travel a long distance very quickly.

If the player throws an Ender Pearl and then dies before impact, the player does not teleport after respawning, nor does the player take fall damage from the pearl.

If the player throws an Ender Pearl in survival mode and changes to creative mode before the pearl lands, the player is still teleported.

The player is not teleported if they throw an Ender Pearl and enter The Nether before it lands. The pearl is lost

Ender Pearls collide with vines, tall grass, Dead Bushes, Ferns, Flowers, all kinds of Saplings, all kinds of Mushrooms, all kinds of Minecarts, Boats, and Nether Portals.

If multiple Ender Pearls are thrown in succession, the player can only be hurt once from fall damage within about a one second span.

Now that we have covered the canon for enderpearls, I will explain my personal headcanons that I hold for the nature of enderpearls and their various uses.

Firstly, I am a believer in the fact that an enderpearl is representative of an endermen's soul or life energy, and also allows for their ability to teleport, which is protected within them. However, instead of what we would normally think of, I take this representation of soul to take on a physical form, which makes sense on the fact that an enderpearl is a drop, and it is something that can be physically reacted with. This being said, I believe that the rest of the endermen is more ethereal, a more spiritual flesh/body, while the pearl, though representing their soul, is a physical part of them. (This point will be explained further in my writings on the anatomy and nature of endermen themselves) In this way, I have that the pearl is what allows an endermen to actually be able to remain tethered to the overworld/normal minecraft world, and without it, they dissipate. This is also relative to endermen and how they die, and why water hurts them. While the endermen's body fades away, the pearl remains, the rest of the endermen has become untethered- but not dead.

I have always wondered why it is that one is injured when using an enderpearl to mimic the endermen's teleporting, and while it is true the damage can be reduced by enchantments of feather falling, normally used to protect from fall damage- you aren't really falling. No matter where you throw an enderpearl you will always take damage, such as throwing it into water, or throwing it right at the ground in front of you- two situations where you would not normally be taking fall damage. 

From the viewpoint of the game, this can be seen as an expense for having the ability to teleport, however I do not agree with this statement. The fact that enderpearls hurt you indicates that they have a better use, and they do- for they allow you to be able to locate your stronghold, get to the end, and "win". 

So what is this damage? Well, I believe that the destruction of the enderpearl is when an endermen is actually dead, any other instance of destroying its body only results in the endermen becoming untethered, and no longer is able to stay connected to the overworld. So this damage could be seen as a physical attack to the user by the endermen's soul before being destroyed, or a punishment- a warning from the end to stop what you're doing. I believe that it could be coming from the enderdragon, who has ties to the other realms, but I will explain more about my beliefs on the enderdragon in another post. 

So, going along with the fact that endermen do not die when they are "killed" but are just "untethered" what happens to them? Well, I believe that their essence is held within the pearl that one has so gladly taken as a trophy.

However, there is hope yet for the endermen, for I have explained that the use of an enderpearl to teleport is not the intended use, it is to act as a guide to the enderportal, and therefore the end.

I personally take the idea of the connection of enderpearls to the end portal a little farther than normal. For me, the enderportal is always active, but the placing of the eyes of ender in it to complete it is what allows beings from the overworld to enter through it. That being said, things originally of the end are able to pass through regardless, and this leads to my heacanon known as regeneration.

When an enderpearl is safely returned to the end portal, and dropped in, the enderman's body is rebound to the pearl, and the endermen is regenerated, brought back to life, as it were. In my canon not many know of this ancient ritual, but for those that perform it, they will receive good tidings from the men of the end, and perhaps a gift as well. 

But there is still the matter of eyes of ender- why do they react with blaze powder, a material that not only doesn't come from the end, but isn't even found in the overworld! There seems to be no connection directly between the end and the nether, except by passing through the overworld. This however does mean that they are connected to me, as they share that very connection with the overworld- they are both offshoots of it, and therefore have strange interactions with one another.    This leads to the creation of the eyes of ender, a representation of the joining of the nether and the end, though a task that must begin with the overworld- and here we see the actual plot point of the game besides just surviving and crafting. First we get materials from the overworld, then go to the nether to gather more materials that lead us to the stronghold to go to the end and "win" the game.

But how does all of this link together you ask? Well, I'll be glad to tell you in the final week of my Ender special of Fanon Fridays, but in the mean time, I want to hear what you think on all of this! Send in your heacanons and opinions on enderpearls and how everything may fit together, and I'll add them to the post!

SUBMITTED HEADCANONS

ask-sar-and-tengit: Oh my goodness what I think? *cracks fingers* Alrighty, it wont be long though.

I’ve actually been thinking about how the Endermen are their enderpearl more than they are their body. This also ties with why the memories of their life play in the mind of the holder, as in askenderblock’s headcanon, because the being is still within the pearl. I’ve also thought of the idea that the pearl can “speak” to the holder of it or to those in close proximity if the person, or enderman, or skeleton, or whatever sentient being is in a meditative state or open to the “supernatural” (for lack of a better term) or has more of a “sixth sense” and it’s like a whisper in their head, not an actual audible sound.

I think that’s all I’ve got for enderpearls.

Fresh spot, open mind

Fresh spot, open mind.

That was the first thing to come to my mind at the moment. I'm not sure what it means, if it means anything at all. There are kids playing outside my window, they're louder than my music. Hum, I know I'm not going through any mental changes, I know exactly when I do that so the Fresh spot thing doesn't apply. The open mind thing, well I usually have an open mind. I just listen to some Atheist arguments earlier, maybe that's it. Though I'm already an Atheists so it's just feeding fire to the flames. I can't even tell if what I'm saying now makes any sense. I'm a bit... tired? I guess would be the word. Not sure.

Gonna have the house to myself for a few hours and I love when that happens. I think I usually get some good inspiration from that. Usually when I'm alone I get some good ideas and the juices start flowing. I guess because I have nothing else to do at that point. I've been stuck on this one idea for awhile and I'm trying to figure something out. How do you capture a feeling through a lens? I wanna know how I can capture the feeling of sitting in a parked car at night listening to the environment around you, or sitting in a lawn chair watching the sun come up from behind the mountains in the still of dawn. I wanna be able to capture that and allow the views to get lost for a moment in what they're watching, be truly involved with a situation like that. I'm gonna try to experiment with saying things without words, problem is I don't really know a conflict yet, or if I want to say anything at all. Most of my films have messages or themes, but maybe for a change I should switch it up and say nothing at all.

By the way i did something productive in Minecraft. I got all diamond armor a sword and I'm one ender pearl away from activating my End Portal. I think Ima hop back on and get that done real quick. 

HERE ENDERMAN!

Currently Listening to- The Antlers (Hospice Album)
