Basically Velocity Damage

by BasicallyFraud

Basically Velocity Damage changes how fall damage is calculated on the server, using the entity's Y velocity rather than only its fall height.

What it does

Vanilla fall damage is tied to fall height, which resets whenever a player lands. Basically Velocity Damage switches that calculation to the entity's vertical velocity, tuned to stay close to vanilla values. It runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt across 12 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Velocity-based fall damage

    Damage is computed from the entity's upward and downward velocity, not from the height of the fall alone.

  2. Free-fall realism

    Falls are shaped by free fall, so damage reflects how the entity actually descended.

  3. Slow-landing fix

    A player who is slowed or drifts down gently no longer takes full fall damage from a long fall height.

What the author says

the mod changes the fall damage calculation to use entity velocity instead of fall height, its been tuned to be close to vanilla with free fall, but will provide more realistic fall damage in falls influenced by something other than gravity, this mod also fixes an issue with fall damage, where the fall height would…
