Anvil Falling

by white_elephant

Anvil Falling is a Cursed data pack that keeps dropping anvils onto players, and the anvils wreck the terrain they land on.

What it does

Anvil Falling is a data pack that continuously spawns anvils above the heads of players in survival mode, at a height of about 100 blocks and at y130 for the Nether layer above bedrock. Anvils that land destroy grass, dirt, stone and netherrack, and the top bedrock layer of the Nether. The pack clears anvil blocks within a 20-block area around players so the spawns do not pile up.

The mod is a Cursed pack for adventure and game-mechanics worlds, and it is also distributed as a data pack for server platforms. Localization Resource Pack is required and must be installed alongside it. The server needs the pack, while players may add it without changing play. The license is GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the project is open source with public links to its source code, issue tracker and wiki. Files exist for 1.20 – 1.21.10 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest build is 1.0.0+mod for 1.21.10.

Key features

  1. Continuous anvil spawns

    Anvils are generated repeatedly above players, so falling blocks keep arriving during play.

  2. Terrain destruction

    Landing anvils destroy grass, dirt, stone and netherrack in their path.

  3. Nether bedrock removal

    Anvils also break the top bedrock layer of the Nether when they fall through it.

  4. Local cleanup

    Anvil blocks within 20 blocks of each player are removed to keep the area from filling up.

Use cases

Server chaos events

Server owners who want a hazardous, disruptive session can run the pack for a shared world.

Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want an anvil-heavy survival challenge. The pack has a noticeable performance cost, so it suits machines that can handle continuous entity and block updates.

Will Anvil Falling affect server performance?
