Non-Lethal Falls

Fall damage still exists in the game, but a fall no longer kills. Players who take a lethal fall finish it with one half heart of health, so a drop that would otherwise end a run leaves the character alive. The mod is meant for singleplayer worlds and multiplayer servers where accidental deaths from falls are unwanted.

The mod also covers tamable entities such as wolves, camels and horses, so a pet that takes a lethal fall survives with the same half heart. That prevents annoying accidental pet deaths. Its behavior is set in a config file that can be edited directly or through McQoy, and the config can switch the mod off entirely or choose whether players, tamable entities, or both are protected, along with how much health they keep.

Non-Lethal Falls is a Fabric library for version 1.21.11 and runs on the server side only, so players join without installing it, and the server owner handles the config. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. McQoy is an optional dependency that adds an in-game editor for the config values.
