Pillow
by hstokkebaek
Pillow adds fall-damage protection through blocks, boots and pillow items for Fabric on Minecraft 1.20.1.
What it does
Pillow Block absorbs the damage a player takes when landing on it, and other pillow items can be crafted from it. Pillow Boots fully negate fall damage while worn. The boots are crafted from eight pillows arranged around a pair of leather boots, which keeps the recipe simple. Pillow items also serve as a take-0-damage weapon for pillow fights between players.
The mod is aimed at players who want the game to feel a little easier and more casual, and the author notes plans to make it stronger over time to suit a balance mod. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod. Only Fabric is supported, for the single game version 1.20.1, with the latest file dated 2024-08-02. Pillow is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Fall damage negation
Wearing Pillow Boots removes all damage from falls, so landing from height costs the player no health.
Absorbing pillow block
The Pillow Block takes the fall damage of anything that lands on it, acting as a soft surface.
Crafted pillow items
Further pillow items are made from the pillow block, keeping the item set tied to a single material.
Pillow fight weapon
