Key Pearl
by Remumodrinth
Key Pearl lets players throw an ender pearl with a single keybind, switching to the pearl from the hotbar and back without changing the selected item.
What it does
When the keybind is pressed, the client switches to an ender pearl in the hotbar, throws it, and restores the previously selected slot. The throw happens at once, so the pearl leaves the hand without the usual delay of selecting it first. The mod also resets the pearl cooldown on the client, which lets the next throw follow quickly during fast movement or close combat.
The mod is a client mod, so only the client needs it; servers run without it. It is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.1 released 2026-05-15 under All rights reserved. The code is not open source, and the author notes that server rules should be checked before using client-side utilities on multiplayer servers.
Key features
Single-keybind pearl throw
One key selects an ender pearl from the hotbar, throws it and returns to the previous slot.
Selection kept unchanged
The held item stays the same after the throw, so no manual switching back is needed.
Instant throw
The pearl is thrown without waiting for the hotbar switch to finish, which keeps reactions quick.
Pearl cooldown reset
The client-side pearl cooldown is reset so consecutive throws are not held back during movement or fights.

Use cases
Movement and escapes
A player can throw pearls in quick succession while moving across terrain without breaking stride.
Close combat
Pearl throws during PvP can be timed without first changing the held item.
Who it’s for: Players who use ender pearls often for travel or combat and want fewer steps between the keypress and the throw. Server owners can ignore the mod, since only the client runs it.
