Thats cool, i didnt onow that, i never use bop because off the mess of all the biomes and its top full for my oppinion. Plus i dont have the best pc, got a hp elitebook laptopThe enderpearl issue is why I always use Biomes O'Plenty mod (i.e. if it isn't in the modpack, that's a big minus for me)... because BOP mod has a biome called "Ominous Woods", which is basically a vacation home for Endermen (since their main home is obviously The End itself). And this is also the reason why I always explore so extensively before choosing a location to make a base... because being near an Ominous Woods biome really really really makes that issue of early-game EnderPearls almost a non-issue.
Note: It's been a long long time (quite a few modpacks) since I've even seen an Ominous Woods biome. It's getting to the point where I'm wondering if they removed it or something? Probably just bad luck. The variety of biomes is quite odd in BOP. It's almost as if it takes a small selection of the overall available biomes and then spams them multiple times over a large area. It's kinda like it doesn't randomize the biomes enough.
I feel the same way. I wonder if the world gen algorithm is smart enough to know that certain biomes logically belong near other biomes (so that you'd find Icy Mountains in an Arctic biome, etc). If this prioritization logic was too strong, you'd end up with a cycle that's a bit hard/rare to break out of.The variety of biomes is quite odd in BOP.

Interesting and good to know, ty.Even Vanilla wasn't that smart until recently I forget whether it was changed after 1.7.10 and before that you could find Desert and Frozen biomes across a river from each other.
Unless BOP completely overwrites Vanilla I have to wonder if it is smart enough to deal with the new biome placement in Vanilla, (I'm not a BOP fan).
tbh, I'm very old and set in my ways. I tend to add mimicry and portal gun to packs because that recipe still works
That way I only need to get a single pearl (either from a drop or a chest) as feed stock and then I can make as many as I like...
