HighFloaty
by herolegend
HighFloaty changes gravity with altitude for NeoForge players and entities, so jumps near the sky carry further and fall damage follows the velocity.
What it does
Below a configurable Y level, which defaults to y=200, gravity stays at vanilla strength. Above it, gravity ramps down toward a configurable minimum multiplier that defaults to 50%, reached at a configurable end Y that defaults to y=319. The ramp follows a selectable curve: linear, smooth, exponential, or a sharp drop near the top. The effect reaches players, entities, thrown projectiles, boats and minecarts. Fall damage scales with the velocity at impact, so a longer fall from altitude means more damage.
The mod leaves Create's own movement code alone and does not go through standard entity gravity, so Create contraptions are not reworked by the tweak. Integration with Sable is optional. HighFloaty is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Files are published for 1.21.1 and cover 1.21.1 – 26.1.2.
Key features
Altitude-based gravity
Gravity stays at vanilla strength below a set height and weakens gradually above it, so high jumps and falls feel floatier.
Selectable ramp curve
The transition can follow a linear, smooth, exponential or sharp curve, which changes how quickly the effect builds near the top.
Fall damage that follows velocity
Damage from landing scales with impact velocity, so a lighter impact at altitude means less damage.
Live height readout
A small text overlay shows the current Y level and the gravity multiplier computed for it.
Configuration and command
Master enable, range, minimum multiplier and curve mode are configurable, and an operator-only command tree allows tweaking during play.

What the author says
The higher you go, the floatier you get. A small NeoForge 1.21.1 mod that scales gravity smoothly with altitude. Up at cloud height, jumps carry further, falls land softer, and arrows drift through the sky on long arcs. Down at ground level, everything is vanilla.
