Ender Tendril
Ender Tendril adds a plant that grows downward from a planted block and eventually yields tendril pearls, a growable substitute for ender pearls.
What it does
Tendrils are planted on a bottom block and grow slowly, with bonemeal speeding the process. The plant needs a long room to grow downward, and flowering tendrils appear about four blocks from the base. Mature flowers occasionally produce a tendril pearl, and a small chance of an extra seed comes with the harvest. Breaking a tendril block once removes it, and breaking any block in the column triggers the break, so tendril pearls can only be taken by breaking the plant itself. The bottom block always drops one seed.
Tendril pearls can stand in for ender pearls in crafting recipes that accept the forge:ender_pearls tag. Seeds of the plant also turn up in some loot chests across the world. Players need a few hours at least before a tendril produces its first pearl.
Ender Tendril requires Silent Lib. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds cover 1.19.4 – 26.1 for Forge and NeoForge, and it is open source with its source code and issue tracker public.
Key features
Growable pearl source
Tendrils grow over time and produce tendril pearls, a renewable stand-in for ender pearls.
Bonemeal growth
Bonemeal speeds up tendril growth, shortening the wait before the first flowers appear.
Pearl harvesting
Tendril pearls come only from breaking the plant, so the harvest is tied to the tendril column itself.
Seeds and loot chests
The plant seed is found in some loot chests throughout the world, and the bottom block always drops one.

Players who need many ender pearls for other mods can grow tendril pearls instead of hunting endermen.
Recipe substitution
Recipes that accept the forge:ender_pearls tag can use tendril pearls in their place.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want a renewable ender pearl substitute for mod recipes in the early and mid game. Survival worlds with a long room for downward growth suit the plant well.
