After the new update. Whenever my friend falls into the void they cannot use their ender pearls.
They can throw it on land, any falling from things fine, just once they go past the ‘edge’ of the base and past the threshold below they cannot throw it anymore.
They play on mobile + controller.
Report it as a bug
There is a certain point we’re things stop working like the teleport thing in block party, so I think that the server is about to kill , but it needs to check if you are below the point that they deem “unrecoverable” as a player, which is kinda annoying if you have already thrown a pearl and then you die, but I would rather have that then having to wait forever to die in the void which kind of rubs in the defeat. Also if I still have my bed, I would want to respawn sooner and get back in the game. This feature is kind of annoying, but also beneficial so I don’t really know what they should do on this one 
This is a minecraft feature
