Fall Effects

by Napad

Fall Effects is a server-required mod that adds cosmetic particles when a player lands from a high drop.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only1.21 – 26.2

What it does

A player who lands after dropping further than ten blocks sees particles gather around them. The amount, spread and scale of the particles follow the distance fallen, so a longer drop produces a larger effect. The particle type also depends on the block the player lands on, which lets each surface show its own look.

The block-to-particle mapping can be extended through a datapack. Each block has to be listed by hand, and the author notes the list is time consuming to maintain, so the datapack route is the way to add blocks beyond the defaults. The mod was built against 1.21.11, and the author states that blocks added in newer versions do not yet produce particles.

Fall Effects is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.21 – 26.2 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which is not open source. The server needs the mod, while a client may skip it. A datapack build is also offered for servers that prefer that install route.

Key features

  1. Height-based particles

    Falls above 10 blocks trigger particles around the player, and nothing appears for shorter drops.

  2. Scaled by fall distance

    Particle count, reach and size grow as the drop gets taller.

  3. Surface-specific particles

    The particle type changes with the block that the player lands on.

  4. Datapack block list

    Additional blocks can be assigned particle effects through a datapack instead of editing the mod.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Server owners who want visible landing effects on their servers, and map makers building courses with tall drops. Players on a server that runs the mod see the effects, while a client without the mod still joins normally.

How it compares

Full comparison

Real Life Heights (RLH) is a server-required mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt covering 1.21.2 – 26.3, with all rights reserved and not open source. Pearl Fall Delay is also server-required, targets 1.21.5 – 26.3 and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, not open source. Fall Effects shares the server-required environment but covers 1.21 – 26.2 and changes the effect on landing, not the fall itself.

Questions

Does Fall Effects need to be installed on the client?

No. It works on the server alone, and players who join without it still see the world normally, just without landing particles.

Which loaders can run Fall Effects?

Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. A datapack build is also available for servers, with the latest file for 26.2.

Why do newer blocks not produce particles?

The author notes the mod was made for 1.21.11. Blocks added in later versions are not in the default mapping, so they need an entry added through a datapack.

What the author says

When landing from a fall higher than 10 blocks, particles will appear around you. The amount, distance and height of the particles scale based on your fall distance.
