I was testing out something out the ordinary and tried to make a creeper farm in my survival world. i didn't know this at first but i needed ender pearls to load chunks. but i flew away and came back after a hour and came to realize ender pearls on bedrock do not load chunks unlike Java.
i dont know if its a bug or the Mojang team forgot to add this in.
