Pearl Trail
by Ragek34
Pearl Trail is a client-side Fabric mod for Ender Pearl flights, showing a predicted trajectory, the landing point and the flight time before a player throws.
What it does
Before a pearl is thrown, the mod draws its predicted path, so a player can see where it will land and how long the flight takes. The trail is drawn with animated gradients, and the appearance of the path, the marker at the landing spot and the sphere that marks pearls can be adjusted. Pearls stay visible at night thanks to the sphere drawn around them.
The mod is set up through a modern menu, where the keys used to open it can be rebound. Because it runs only on the client, it changes nothing on a server, and a player can use it in single-player or on any server without the server installing anything. Builds exist for 1.21.4 alone, and the Fabric files are released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Landing prediction
The predicted landing point is marked in the world, so a player knows where a thrown pearl will come down.
Flight time estimate
The mod works out how long a pearl will stay in the air before it lands, shown while the player holds it.
Gradient trail
A trail with smooth animated gradients follows each pearl during its flight, and its colors can be changed.
Pearl visibility sphere
A sphere is drawn around pearls so they remain visible at night and in dark areas.

Use cases
Planning long throws
A player crossing a chasm or a gap between structures can check the landing spot before committing a pearl.
Marking destinations
A landing point can be marked, so the player can return to the same spot on later trips.
Who it’s for: Players who use Ender Pearls for travel, pearl-based builds or precise throws. Only the player's own client needs the mod, so it suits single-player worlds and multiplayer servers alike.
How it compares
Trajectories is an alternative with Fabric files for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, and it can run on the client or the server, with All rights reserved. Pearl Trajectories is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.20.1 – 26.1.2. AuraPearl is client-side only, with All rights reserved and files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, so it targets a wider version span than Pearl Trail's single release.
