BreakTheFall
by JTMessenger
With BreakTheFall installed, a fall onto leaves no longer deals damage, so players can drop from great heights into a tree without being hurt.
What it does
Landing on leaves cancels fall damage in BreakTheFall, which lets players drop from high ground and land safely in a canopy. The change is limited to leaf blocks, so falls onto other surfaces keep their usual damage. The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge and is compatible with Modded Leaves, which does not change the leaves' NBT data.
Because both the server and every player need the mod, it is installed on each side of a multiplayer world as well as on single-player clients. Files exist for 1.18.2 – 1.20.4 across five release versions, and the newest Forge build is 2.0 for 1.20.1, while the newest NeoForge build is 1.20.12.0 for 1.20.4. The code is not open source, and all rights are reserved by the author, JTMessenger.
