Ender Pearl Rules and Info

by Syntaxvgm on Dec 15, 2025

Recent changes to Minecraft have made all ender pearls load chunks. The chunk the pearl is in is entity processing and receives random ticks. The ring of chunks around it are block processing, able to compute redstone as long as entities aren't involved.

Before getting to the cool stuff we're doing with chunk loading and stasis chambers, I want to start with this-
Pearl cannons are absolutely banned, no exceptions.
It is possible they'll be unbanned in the future with design guidelines, but for now consider them banned outright.

Now, onto the cool shit we can do.

VE Stasis Tower

There will be an official stasis tower in the end dimension off to the side of the main island. This will be built to expand upward before expanding outward, and everyone will be allowed to claim a spot. The design will have both a button option and a relogging trigger option, meaning you can relog a couple of times and trigger your pearl chamber. Pearls in this chamber do not count towards your limit.

Why the end?

• The end will allow you to choose between going to 0,0 and your bed. If you walk into the portal, you go to your bed/respawn anchor if you have one, and if you throw an ender pearl in it, you'll go to spawn without needing to remove your bed.
• 'Riff-raff' players usually do dumbass stuff to spawn and shops before getting banned. It's much less likely they make their way to the end. Less of a chance that someone comes and blows up or activates every chamber teleporting everyone online, though I'm sure that will happen at least once.
• The end is safer. If you do get accidentally teleported while afk, there's no risk of a creeper or something from an unlit corner of the building. No phantoms too.
• We never have enough cool stuff in the end.
• If you got teleported by accident, returning to your bed probably will send you back to your base faster than having to go from spawn. This also makes the stasis tower a fast way to return to your base and a great way to meet up with others.

Do not press anyone's stasis button unless asked to.

How the chamber will be built

It will probably not get started on till a couple days after the end opens. The tower will exist far enough outside the main island that endermen from the main island cannot teleport to it. There will be a ice hopping/boating/soul soil path from the bottom of the tower to stairs under the portal in the center, kept safe from endermen and the dragon destroying the path. The tower will have a drop chute to the bottom to let you out as fast as possible and an open side if you want to fly. The stasis chamber bits with the pearls will probably be limited to a chunk or two, and the surround chunks have the redstone and stuff that doesn't need to be entity processing

I will make an official design (purely functional, no aesthetics) that we can build in short order. It can be prettified (carefully, don't touch peoples pearls lol) after building by whoever wants to. Anyone can build the redstone as long as they follow the schematic that will be given.

Personal stasis chambers and chunk loaders

Since pearls disappear with you, everyone will be entitled one active stasis chamber outside the Stasis Tower. Unlike portal loaders, you may use it to load farms and things if you're away from them. Try to not cram a mega base into one pearl's range, instead try to keep it on that current thing you want running or very modest farms. Remember only the center chunk can computer items, do not let items pile up in the unloaded chunks. All personal stasis chambers or pearl chunk loaders should either

• Have no redstone or items that will need to be collected (Teleport only)
• Be farms designed specifically be loaded inside the area and contain all items in the center chunk.

Do not just slap a pearl on your existing farm unless you are certain items are perfectly contained in the center chunk. If I find items piling up in unloaded chunks, I will remove your stasis chamber. If you're unsure, make a wall around the center chunk to contain items. I strongly discourage running tree farms inside a pearl chunk loader.

All stasis chambers need a sign with your in game name on them.

There are some circumstances that you can use more than one on a temporary basis for teleporting purpose only. Let's say you're moving a bunch of stuff to a farm you're building off-base, and you want to teleport back and forth. Please use timers or relog detection to make sure you don't forget about them. Do not place them in the same chunks as redstone stuff. A command will be made (and a reminder) to track all of your active pearls, but that doesn't exist yet so you'll need to be careful.

Finally, do not make stasis chambers in shops and spawn. Use the stasis tower to get to the world spawn building.

To kill all ender pearls you have active, kill yourself.
