Looking for suggestion on how to acquire some Ender Pearls for making Enderium Ingots. Haven't found any Ender Lily seeds, and to my knowledge nobody on the server has found any either. So those are not feasible. Also, we haven't found a Stronghold yet and thus there is currently no access to The End. This basically leaves hunting Endermen and Enderminys in the Overworld, however, regular mobs don't spawn due to Thaumcraft Taint biome mobs accumulating over time and taking over the entire server mob count leaving no room for anything else. Occasionally the server operator will manually delete all TC mobs and for a while we get Ender Pearl opportunities. But there's no regular schedule for doing this (i.e. its rare). So what is my best strategy for obtaining pearls? Is there another method? Will a vanilla-type of mob grinder work if mob count is maxxed out? Should I delve into Hardcore Ender Expansion? I don't even know what that mod does tho, and with Hardcore in the name I'm not sure I want to learn. grin
