Can an Ender Pearl teleport across worlds? In Minecraft

Hello, lovers of weird ideas and mad Minecraft tests! Sometimes evenings are calm… And sometimes the brain throws questions like: «So, what happens if you throw an Ender Pearl in the Overworld and at the same moment dive into the Nether portal?» First thought: "If it works, that’ll be the most epic interworld jump!" Honestly, I didn’t think it would, but I was itching to try.

Prep: armor, portal, and a dash of nerves

I’m going scientific. The portal — nearby, so I can make it. Armor on (I’ve had days when it all went off-script and I had to gather resources across the whole hellscape). Heart pounding: «Alright, let’s see what happens.» For a boost, I downed a couple steaks — you never know; trusting an empty stomach isn’t an option. Deep breath — nerves on edge!

The experiment: moment of truth

Alright, go time! I toss the pearl straight up so it flies to the clouds — buying time! Then I leap into the portal. Purple vortex, quick loading, and I’m in the Nether. I stand and listen: did it teleport me into lava by accident? Seconds stretch into eternity. I’m already imagining appearing somewhere between worlds, or the game throwing an error like "too cool for this world."

But no… nothing at all! You won’t believe it, not even a rustle. That’s when I realized I’d expected more: where are my VFX, my mini-explosions? Honestly, disappointment crept in; my first thought — at least yeet me to the Nether for the meme!

“Now it gets interesting…” — heading home

But the story didn’t end there. I go back through the portal to the Overworld — and it slams me exactly to the spot where that pearl landed! Didn’t see that coming; nearly jumped out of my chair. The system works like a Swiss clock: it waits until your character is in the correct dimension, and only then executes the teleport.

Pros and cons of the experiment

Pros:

• You can lock in a point for an emergency teleport. Useful for a quick return from another world to the throw spot.
• Very unusual mechanic — feels like leaving a “beacon” in your world.
• Great for trolling friends or inventive traps.

Cons:

• If you forget where you threw the pearl — brace for surprises, like a creeper hug.
• You might appear in a dangerous spot: on a tree, in water, among mobs. Always check the throw area!
• Extra risk of losing items: you return — and drop straight into a fight or lava.
• No instant cross-dimension teleport — not viable for emergency escapes.

My take and final thoughts

If you ask me, should you try it — absolutely yes! The experiment is a rush; the key is to prep and stay alert when you return to your world. And honestly, it opens up more chances for fun (and not so fun) moments.

The takeaway is simple — don’t expect instant interworld teleporting, but the trick works: you’ll land where your pearl fell only after returning to the right dimension. So use carefully, keep your health at least half, and jot down the throw coordinates just in case.
