After 1.21.2, this plugin is no longer required as ender pearls now load & tick chunks in a 3x3 chunk area.
PearlChunks
When ender pearls travel to unloaded chunks in Minecraft, they stop and never land until the chunk is loaded by a player. This Paper plugin loads the chunks that ender pearls are in when they are in unloaded chunks to prevent this issue.
You MUST set fixes.disable-unloaded-chunk-enderpearl-exploit to false in your Paper world configuration for this to work.
This plugin supports 1.19.3 - 1.21.1. The server must be running Paper or a compatible fork.
