MC-172031Throwing an ender pearl into a Nether or End portal often has no effect
The bug
It appears throwing an ender pearl into a Nether or End portal often has no effect. Previously it would teleport the player (though also unreliably, see MC-86850).
Also note that often the ender pearl just goes through the portal (which did not happen that often previously?), therefore place multiple portals behind each other.
How to reproduce
- Place multiple Nether portals behind each other
/fill ~1 ~ ~1 ~11 ~4 ~4 obsidian
/fill ~1 ~1 ~2 ~11 ~3 ~3 air
/fill ~1 ~1 ~2 ~11 ~1 ~2 fire
- Enter them and then return (to make sure the other dimension is loaded)
- Throw an ender pearl into them
Nothing happens, the ender pearl neither teleports you in the current, nor in the target dimension; it just disappears
Note: You might see endermite in the target dimension.

I believe that this is a duplicate of MC-196556 and/or MC-172031. If there are blocks present under the end portal, the ender pearl will hit these causing you to be teleported where it landed, therefore causing you the enter the end dimension as a result of end portal blocks being adjacently present at where the ender pearl made contact.
If there weren't any blocks present below the end portal, sometimes ender pearls would successfully enter the end dimension but without any effect (see MC-172031), and other times, simply pass through the end portal and not change dimensions as a result of it traveling at a high velocity (MC-196556).
I'm resolving this as a duplicate of MC-172031. 
Likely a dupe of
MC-173792, even though that's about end portals.Or maybe not.
Just use a trap door to get in laying position, and enter the portal

Can confirm in 1.18.2 and 22w19a. I'm pretty sure this issue occurs due to ender pearls losing their player ownership when exiting portals, therefore making this ticket related to
MC-50319.Those are related, but those are not duplicates. If you throw enderpearl in nether and enter overworld, Pearl won't teleport you back to nether even when you chunkload the nether. So there are two reasons of not teleporting player cross-dimensional.
Can confirm in 1.19. Identical behavior can be seen when throwing ender pearls into the end portal, so I think it would be worth updating this ticket to mention this as well.
