Ender pearls teleport the player slightly above the ground
Basically,
If you throw an ender pearl downwards you get teleported slightly above the block
But you should probably land on the block directly.
How to replicate/An example of a case this is bad for :
If there is an item on the ground, and you're levitating, and throw a pearl to try and pickup the item, you can't.
This is bad for raiding end cities, for example: if a shulker shell falls on the ground and you throw a pearl to it while you're levitating to try and pick it up, you can't
And that is bad if you want to raid quickly and efficiently
The speculated issue :
I think it's because the edge of the pearls hitbox touches the ground then the player gets teleported to the middle of the hitbox instead of the surface the hitbox landed on
Suggested ways of fixing (Btw I'm not an expert) :
- Make the teleportation mechanic teleport you to the surface the pearl hit instead of inside the pearls position
- Have a small offset added to the pearl teleportation
- Make the hitbox of the pearl smaller
And finally,
If this does get fixed
Thx in advance

Are you throwing the ender pearl directly at the item? Please also provide a screenshot of your game with the F3 debug screen enabled.
Reply to : @Galaxy_2Alex
Sometimes, But it's generally on the same block
and about the screenshot :
Do you want just a general screenshot of me standing ? (of course I will take a brand new one)
And btw I also found something that further confirms my theory
If the item is on top of a stair, and you throw the pearl on the air part of the stair, the pearl has enough space to land lower so you can pick up the item
Any screenshot is fine.

This report is invalid. Your game is modified.
[Mod] Anthony Cicinelli
The mods I use don't affect ender pearls or hitboxes or teleportation
If you want I could even take a screenshot of my mod folder
So you know what mods I use
Any modifications even a fabric loader invalidates a report. If you can reproduce this in vanilla please create a new report or update this one.
[Mod] Anthony Cicinelli
Ok
Done
I just opened a flat pure vanilla world and tested
I teleported myself kind of close to the same coordinates, then put a command block to give me levitation, threw an item on the ground, the throw pearls on it and around it
And the result was:
Yes, it is a problem in vanilla
Once I go above the item by 3 blocks or more it works as intended
But if I am within roughly 2 blocks of it on the Y value then the bug does exist
And here's a screenshot to prove
