Minecraft Ender items

Hey guys, sorry about the absence because I was at science camp. Anyway, today we are talking about  Ender pearls and eyes of ender. Ender pearls are items that are dropped by Freaky Enderman. If you are thinking about what this item can do, it has two uses. I will tell you use number two later. What use number one for the pearl is that it will teleport you to a place if you throw it there. but the problem is that it takes away two hearts. So don't use it too much. Use number two: the item can be made with a blaze powder into an eye of ender. I thought this was useless until I found that it can lead you to the nearest stronghold with an ender portal. And then not only is the eye a great stronghold detector, it can be used to power the end portal which will take you to the most dangerous place on earth: the end! So make sure you are ready to fight the dragon.
