Even after the 1.18 update completely changed the game, several items retained their importance in Minecraft. Ender pearls are still very useful, perhaps even more so now that Caves & Cliffs has gone live. They were always good for traveling, but now they can be used to get to the top of tall mountains even faster.They're not overly common, though, so there aren't a ton of ways to get them. Here are the best methods.Best methods for obtaining ender pearls in Minecraft 1.185) LootIn Minecraft Java Edition, they can spawn in a stronghold altar chest, but it's very rare. That chest, which is difficult to find, has a 23% chance of having an ender pearl as of 1.18. In Bedrock, that chance drops down to 22.6%, making it a very rare find.Altar chests have a small chance to have an ender pearl inside (Image via Minecraft)4) Staying up at nightLike all hostile mobs, they'll spawn at night when the light level is at zero, thanks to the 1.18 update. They're not the most common mob to spawn, but they'll usually drop an ender pearl or more when killed. They are difficult to kill, but this is the most straightforward way to kill them.Endermen will spawn at night (Image via Minecraft)3) Visiting a Warped ForestIf they're not spawning normally, there are two places that they do spawn pretty frequently. A Warped Forest in the Nether is one of those places. It's dangerous, but the blue-colored biome has tons of Endermen spawning there, making it a great place to farm ender pearls.Minecraft@MinecraftThere’s plenty in the Warped Forest to startle and scare you, but with the right gear and a good dose of courage, clutching your pearls can be a profitable business indeed!Learn all about this preferred venue for enderman board game nights:↣ redsto.ne/warpedforest ↢11:02 AM · Jan 21, 20218278251There’s plenty in the Warped Forest to startle and scare you, but with the right gear and a good dose of courage, clutching your pearls can be a profitable business indeed!Learn all about this preferred venue for enderman board game nights:↣ redsto.ne/warpedforest ↢ https://t.co/SeRZOa1cTy2) The EndThe End is where all Endermen are and it is usually swarming with them.
