🎯Ender Pearl Strategy
Ender Pearls are the #1 priority for speedrunners. Here's how to optimize:
- •Gold Allocation: 150-200 ingots for 12-16 pearls
- •Backup Plan: Have 50+ gold ready for bad RNG
- •Time Management: 2-3 minutes of bartering time

- •Bulk Trading: Throw multiple ingots at once
- •Portal Setup: Build portal while bartering
Piglin bartering is a game mechanic introduced in Minecraft 1.16 (the Nether Update). Players can trade gold ingots with Piglins, who will then throw back a random item from their loot table. For speedrunners, this is the primary source of Ender Pearls needed to access the End.
Piglins are neutral mobs found in the Nether. When you throw a gold ingot near them or right-click them while holding a gold ingot, they will pick it up and, after a short time (2-8 seconds), throw an item back at you.
The items they can give you range from common (like gravel or fire charges) to rare and valuable (like enchanted books or ender pearls). Each item has a specific probability of being selected, which this simulator accurately represents using Minecraft's official loot tables.
🏃♂️Speedrun Tips & Strategies
Pre-Nether Preparation
- • Build gold farm before entering Nether
- • Prepare 200+ gold ingots minimum
- • Have backup gold ready (50+ ingots)
- • Know your route to Nether fortress
During Bartering
- • Throw ingots in groups of 5-10
- • Count pearls while collecting
- • Watch for Soul Speed books (1.8% chance)
- • Don't waste time on common drops
Pro Tip: If you get 0 pearls from your first 50 trades, consider resetting your world for better RNG. The odds of getting zero pearls from 50 trades is extremely low (0.0003%).
