It’s been like this for several months now, most ppl use it against skybasers as many others said since it is way more efficient than slowly stacking up to them while the skybaser repeatedly knocks you off your progress of getting to them. Mentioned earlier too, it has also been used for clutching, ik several ppl including myself that has gotten pretty used to this pearling strategy that correct timing of block placement when pearl clutching will teleport you up to the top instead of hitting the bottom of the island and falling to your death. Other ways of using this strange pearling feature is for certain traps and also escaping a battle if there is a block over your head.
I’m not sure if this is considered a bug in need of fixing since it has been here for so long already and many players have used this and not gotten any punishment tho and it’s still quite controversial on whether it’s something to be removed or not.
