EasyWaterDrop
EasyWaterDrop places a water source ahead of the player during a long fall, so a drop from a high ledge or mountain ends in water instead of damage.
What it does
When the player falls from a height, EasyWaterDrop selects a water bucket from the inventory, places the water just before impact, and picks it back up after landing. The switch to the bucket is automatic, so the player does not need to hotbar it by hand. The timing is set to feel natural, with subtle, unobtrusive actions rather than repeated spam.
The mod is aimed at hardcore survival worlds and mountain exploration, where a single fall can decide a run. It is meant as a safety tool that keeps control with the player, not a cheat that removes the fall entirely. The author describes it as close to normal gameplay.
EasyWaterDrop runs on the client only, so players install it and servers do not need it. It is available for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across seven release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.11. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
