Break My Fall
Break My Fall changes how falling damage works in the game, letting server owners tune fall damage for landings on water, ice, hay bales and other blocks.
What it does
The mod adds configurable features that change fall damage. Its settings cover breaking snow, the impact a landing has on entities, and fall damage that varies with water depth. A server owner can make water deal fall damage, set the percentage of damage taken when landing in water, and set the fall distance needed before an entity takes damage. Ice can be made to break under an entity that falls onto it, and hay bales can be set to reduce the damage taken on landing.
Other settings can make melons explode when melon slices fall, make suspicious blocks break from a fall, and make glass and glass panes shatter. Each of these works by requiring a set fall distance, which the config controls. The author says the aim is to tune the experience through config changes, and that updates are planned to add new features. Installation needs Forge Config API Port on Forge, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player must run the mod. The license is All rights reserved, and the source code and issue tracker have public links.
