Enderpearls don't work in creative

Enderpearl throwing doesn't work in creative.

This is annoying, because when you build something in creative which uses enderpearls (enderpearl elevator etc), you can't easily test it.

I have heard people say that enderpearls not working in creative is on purpose. Well, I can't see what the purpose could be, and nobody has given me a good explanation. I request that this bug report is not closed until an actual developer says that there is a reason why enderpearls don't work in creative 🙂.
