Projectile

A projectile is an entity that can be fired, shot, or thrown by mobs, other entities, dispensers, and players. Projectiles can also be summoned using /summon.

Mobs and players equipped with bows and crossbows can use them to shoot arrows. The player can also throw various items as projectiles. Some mobs shoot projectiles directly as an attack.

An eye of ender has a 80% chance of surviving when thrown. If it survives, it drops as an item where it stopped, which can then by picked up.
