Cloud Boots
by Sherfy
Cloud Boots equips a pair of boots that cancel fall damage and grant a jump bonus, with effects that weaken as the boots wear down.
What it does
The boots start with 416 durability points. While worn they grant immunity to fall damage, a fall speed cap and a jump height bonus, along with a 20% boost to movement speed. Once durability drops to half, the effects are halved, and the stages below that scale the effect down further. Falling onto the boots damages them, with a bit more wear at higher fall speeds.
Cloud Boots is a Forge and NeoForge mod in the Transportation category, also listed under Equipment and Magic. Both client and server need it, so the mod has to be installed on the server and by every player. Its files cover eight release versions 1.16.5 – 1.21.1 and are released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Fall damage immunity
While worn, the boots stop damage from falls, so players can drop from heights that would otherwise hurt.
Movement and jump bonuses
The boots add 20% movement speed and four blocks of jump height, with a cap on how fast the wearer can fall.
Durability-based weakening
Effects drop in four stages as durability falls, so a worn pair gives less boost than a fresh one.
Fall-based wear
Each landing damages the boots, and harder falls cost more durability.

What the author says
This mod adds more balanced and polished "Cloud Boots" from mod called Chocolate Quest aka Better Dungeons by Chocolatin. Mod is a little modernized, but I try to preserve original feel.
