[MC-21806] Throwing an ender pearl through a portal into the nether works, throwing out of the nether doesn't

Throwing an ender pearl through a nether portal behaves differently depending on whether it is thrown from the overworld to the nether or from the nether to the overworld.

What I expected to happen

I expected to be teleported after following the pearl through the portal.

What actually happened

I was teleported after throwing an pearl and then entering the nether, but was not teleported after throwing a pearl and leaving the nether. It seems that the pearl is correctly transported one way, but not the other.

Steps to reproduce:
You need multiple nether portals behind each other, which can be created using

```
/fill ~1 ~ ~1 ~11 ~4 ~4 obsidian
```
```
/fill ~1 ~1 ~2 ~11 ~3 ~3 air
```
```
/fill ~1 ~1 ~2 ~11 ~1 ~2 fire
```

If you do that in the Overworld nothing happens until you enter the Nether, however when you do it in the Nether it teleports you where you would end up in the Overworld, for example 10000 becomes 80000 (times 8).

Suggested solutions

1) Have throwing a pearl from the nether to the overworld teleport the player after following the pearl through the portal.

2) Have the pearl become 'lost' (i.e. have no effect) regardless of the direction it is thrown. (Less desirable solution than option 1).

3) Have pearls not be affected by portals and continue in the same dimension (as if the portal wasn't there).

Untested related behaviour

I've not tested ender pearls with end portals. Perhaps check this too...

Confirmed.

The End does work correctly!

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Adrian Dunn 2013-07-10T22:59:30Z

Yes, still broken in 1.6.2

Ezekiel 2014-02-27T14:38:22Z

I cannot reproduce being teleported either direction in 1.7.4/5.

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w08a? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

I'm still seeing the original reported behaviour in 1.75 (though the teleport is now not in the direction I would expect for the orientation of the portal - I land somewhere to the side of the portal, not in front/behind it).

In 14w10b I'm not getting teleported whichever way I go through the portal.

I suspect this change of behaviour with the snapshot could be caused by the change of player identification to UUIDs and that the link between the thrown pearl and the player is now broken on going through the portal.

Confirmed for 14w29b.

Please include that you need multiple nether portals behind each other, which can be created using

/fill ~ ~ ~ ~10 ~4 ~3 obsidian default hollow

and then lighting them.

bob 2016-11-06T01:16:13Z

Is this still an issue in the latest snapshot 16w44a?

Jelle Wietsma 2017-01-24T13:45:47Z

Still a problem in 1.11.2. Like Ethoslab showed in his lets play. and Antvenom showed to get to the world border

Jelle Wietsma 2017-01-24T22:25:43Z

How to reproduce and what really happens in 1.11.2 (this changed from the original post)

1 Make a portal
2 Stand in the portal and look down
3 throw an ender pearl straight down
4 get out of the portal before you get to the other world

What will happen:
Overworld: your X and Z coordinates will be divided by 8 and you will be teleported there

Nether: your X and Z coordinates will be times 8 and you will be teleported there
