Do A Flip
by Mrbysco
Do A Flip makes mobs sometimes perform a front or back flip when they fall more than 2 blocks, using a client-side only effect.
What it does
When a mob falls further than 2 blocks, it has a chance to perform a front or back flip. The chance is set by a value between 0 and 1, and the default of 0.35 means a 35% chance for each qualifying fall. Only the client needs it, so players install it while the server can run without it.
The mod has a list of mobs that flip, and that list can be inverted into a blacklist. Out of the box, the exclusion list covers bat, armor stand, ender dragon and wither, since the invertMobs setting defaults to true. Server owners and players can edit these entries in the config file. Do A Flip requires Fabric API on Fabric and Forge Config API Port on Forge and NeoForge.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 15 release versions 1.20.1 – 26.2, with 1.21.11 and 26.1.2 among the builds. Its source code and issue tracker are public, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
