Nerfing enderpearls

[Cell]

Explosions would be cool. 400 feet would be overkill (instant death), but being able to throw TNT would be great. No block destruction, though.

I was thinking, either that or we just disable them. Or maybe it launches you into the air in the direction your throw them instead of teleporting you (when throwing them into towns). I'm sure NoCheat would find a way to mess that up though.

Shortening the distance might promote glitching and things of that nature.

I like Spen's idea, and it works well on that server. Maybe we could take it one step further and have ender pearls start a small fire around where they land. Give it a medieval name, such as "Oil Pot" or "Powder Jar," and it should fit right in.

Ahaha. Good one, Doctor.

I say remove them. Players have much more powerful things to employ in pvp than enderpearls, and one player owning the End is in no way balanced.

Does it matter, I already have over a double chest of enderpearls from alathar, (learn to lock your doors)

So we can't disable something that is actually OP (Enderchests) And we disable something that's harmless and with the current state of towns the only way to get in? This is why this server is dieing.

This nerf would be there so people aren't discouraged from building towns on the surface and it actually gives walls a purpose. I'm sure you'd rather have no nerf and everyone just build their towns at bedrock level?

But yotta , if we can't get in through enderpearls nor can we break blocks how do we get in? Exactly.

Brilliant!

I have a ton of experience with no TNT, ender pearls, etc faction servers. Eventually, you start thinking of insanely clever ways to get in. I actually wrote a thread on this a while back: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1005...ry17742077

Once, I got through a fireplace, like Evil Santa.

Good question. Still trying to figure that one out. But this isn't the thread for that discussion. I'd rather you bring that here. Thanks.

All your ways to get in are impossible to do considering the circumstances. Tnt doesnt explode town blocks. So all your methods are practically useless.
