It seems loosely connected to the ceiling
by Black_Moss
Falling pointed dripstone can strike players standing below it in this NeoForge minigame, which is open source under the MIT License.
What it does
Pointed dripstone that breaks loose from a cave ceiling falls and can hit players below it. The mod is inspired by a game idea where the ceiling feels loosely attached, and it turns that idea into a falling hazard. The detection range, the maximum damage and a damage multiplier are all set in the mod configuration, so a server can adjust how far the check reaches and how hard each hit lands.
The mod is a server-side addition. Only the server has to run it for the dripstone to fall and deal damage, and players can join without installing anything. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.11 only, and the code is open source under the MIT License, with public source code and an issue tracker for reports.
