Drop Force
by Xiaoyu_2009
Drop Force makes dropped items damage living entities when they land, with the harm scaled to the item's speed and stack size.
What it does
A dropped item that falls onto a mob or player deals damage on impact. The amount depends on how fast the item is moving and how many items are in its stack, so a heavy stack falling from height hits harder than a single item dropped a short distance. The effect is meant to make item physics feel more consequential in play. Drop Force runs on client and server, and both sides need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code is public.
Key features
Impact damage from drops
Items dropped onto living entities deal damage when they hit, based on their physics.
Speed-based scaling
Damage rises with the item's movement speed, so faster falls deal more harm.
Stack size matters
A larger stack deals more damage on impact than a single item of the same kind.
