Auto Water Drop
by IKKAizz
Auto Water Drop is a Forge mod that places a water source below the player while falling, which cancels fall damage when a water bucket is held.
What it does
While a player falls holding a water bucket, the mod places water under them before they reach the ground. The landing then happens in water and the fall damage is saved. The behavior works in survival mode only; in creative mode the mod does nothing.
The feature can be turned on or off in-game with a single keypress. The default hotkey is O, and the setting can be changed while playing. No commands or configuration are needed, and the mod works right after installation on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 (the range is 1.20.1 – 1.20.6). It runs on the client or the server, and neither side requires it.
