pancelorOPlast weekoptions:
- stasis chamber + trapdoor + timer (arrow despawn? item despawn? daylight detector? cobweb?) and then run far away. the stasis chamber is a chunk loader, which is nice. the fact that it warps you back is pretty funny, maybe interrupting another goal. or maybe you want to warp back, but in the meantime you only have X minutes to get something done (cave-diving?).
- throw the pearl from the overworld into a nether portal, aimed so that it hits ANOTHER nether portal and ends up landing back in the overworld. surprisingly easy to do, with a bit of practice. requires 10 obby
- tnt cannon. without knowing much, I set up 4 TNT in a corner next to a stasis chamber and got 150 blocks. with 6 TNT, 263 blocks
non-options:
- just throw a pearl (my best is about 90 blocks, run-jumping)
- throw a pearl from world height (my best is 135 blocks, run-jumping)
- throw a pearl through a single nether portal, starting at 100,100 in the nether and landing at 800,800 in the overworld. (the start and ending dimension of the pearl must be the same for "distance" to mean anything)
---
I chose 250 somewhat arbitrarily, maybe we could choose something lower if we want world-height to be a possible strat. If other people create setups and report their approximate distances that would help choose a good number!

oh, I realized I'm defining "distance" as X/Z only, Y-change doesn't count. I'm not sure how to word that succinctly but I think it makes the goal more interesting
or maybe I should stop trying to exclude a height-limit pearl, maybe its good to have that as an option. I think the other options are just too cool tho, idk!

edit: ok this message is a sub-poll: should change in Y count? (that would let this overlap with height limit, and miiight also make it doable with just 2 pearls, depending on terrain)

ngl this seems so complicated to set up just for 1 goal to get a 250+ block travel
pancelorOPlast week
? its about as complicated as bullseye, obtain sus sand, or many others
hsetlast week
this looks like a good goal to me if you make y-change count in distance so there is a casual way to do it and so it overlaps with height limit

bullseye is not hard at all
obtain sus sand as well not that hard
just need to know the right setup

imo it's way complicated but others might like it

This also isn't that hard to setup, just need a pearl, soul sand, pressure plate, and trapdoor. Don't even need a water bucket you can just use natural water.

Would throwing a pearl one way and another one the opposite way work?

ooh interesting idea. you could easily get 150 blocks with just 2 pearls, 180~200 seems barely possible on flat ground, and if Y-change counts for distance then you could probably get 250, if you throw one pearl into a cave

interesting, vanilla sniper duel and bullseye both ignore Y changes https://minecraft.wiki/w/Advancement#Sniper_Duel ("at least 50 blocks away horizontally")
