Starter Pearl
Starter Pearl adds a reverse Ender Pearl item that teleports the nearest player within a two block radius to the landing site where the thrower threw it.
What it does
Starter Pearl is crafted from an Ender Pearl and glowstone dust. When it lands, the nearest player within two blocks is moved to the spot where the pearl came down, and the effect pulls the player toward the thrower instead of the thrower moving. The mod adds no other items, blocks or mechanics, and it is meant as a standalone item that anyone can use.
The item also works with stasis chambers in the same way an Ender Pearl does, and upon activation it sends the player back to the original owner of the pearl. Fabric API is required on Fabric and must be installed next to Starter Pearl. The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds are published for Fabric and NeoForge, covering game versions 26.1 – 26.1.2, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Crafted reverse pearl
Starter Pearl is made from an Ender Pearl and glowstone dust, and it is thrown like the pearl it inverts.
Reverse teleport
A landed Starter Pearl pulls the nearest player within a two block radius to the landing site.
Stasis chamber support
Stasis chambers accept the item in the same way they accept an Ender Pearl, so the effect is functionally the same.
Return to owner
Activating the item sends the affected player back to the original owner of the pearl.

Use cases
Pulling a player back
A thrower can hold a player near the spot where the pearl landed by targeting them with the throw.
Stasis chamber setups
Servers and builders can use the item inside stasis chambers where an Ender Pearl would otherwise be placed.
Who it’s for: Players who want a single, narrow pearl effect without the rest of a larger gameplay pack, and server owners who run a survival or adventure world where pulling a nearby player back to a point is useful.
