Frequently asked questions

How do I make ender pearls skip on water?
Just throw an ender pearl at a water surface at a shallow angle and it will bounce instead of sinking. Aim low and flat across the water rather than straight down into it.
Do I need to craft anything special for pearls to bounce?
No crafting is required — the data pack changes vanilla ender pearl behavior globally. Any ender pearl you throw at water will skip, as long as the pack is active in your world.
How many times can a pearl bounce before it stops?
A pearl keeps skipping as long as it maintains enough speed and hits the water at a shallow angle. Steeper throws and longer distances cause it to lose momentum and eventually sink or land.
Why does my ender pearl sink instead of bouncing?
You're probably throwing it too steeply or from too high up, so it enters the water at a sharp angle. Throw it more horizontally and closer to the surface to get a skip.
