Falling Down

by Aquarius.playz

Falling Down extends gravity to more blocks, so that logs and leaves, or any other blocks listed in a data file, drop like sand when unsupported.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.9

What it does

Falling Down makes blocks fall when nothing holds them up, the way sand does in vanilla. By default only logs and leaves are affected. The list is set in a JSON data file inside the mod's jar, so a server or pack maker can add blocks, for example stone or dirt, by adding entries to the file or to a tag. Adding a block through a resource pack works the same way, and the author notes that a large block list can slow the game at times. The client and the server both need the mod, and a multiplayer server must carry the same file. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.9, and the code is licensed as All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Gravity for chosen blocks

    Blocks listed in the data file fall when unsupported, much as sand does in vanilla.

  2. Default logs and leaves

    Out of the box, only logs and leaves are set to fall, so the rest of the world keeps its behavior.

  3. Editable block tags

    Blocks can be added through a JSON file or a tag, and a resource pack can override the default list.
