Pearl Trajectories
by uokik
With Pearl Trajectories, a player can see the path an ender pearl will take before throwing it, and the spot where it lands.
What it does
The mod draws the flight path of thrown ender pearls on the client, so the player can aim a throw before releasing it. It also shows the place where a pearl lands, and a beam that stays after the pearl has come down. The trajectory view helps a player read where an opponent's pearl is flying and where it will come down, which is useful in combat on multiplayer servers.
Trails and beams can be recolored and their opacity changed in a settings screen. Smooth color transitions along the trail are available as well. Rendering can be switched off or on with a key binding, which defaults to O, while the settings screen opens with V in the default build. The 2.0 release marks the newer settings screen and its controls.
Pearl Trajectories requires Mod Menu, which is needed to open its configuration. Files are published for Fabric only, across 12 release versions 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and the latest file is 2.1.1 for 1.21.5, dated 2026-08-04. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source.
