Ragdoll Reactions
When a player is struck or stopped hard, Ragdoll Reactions makes the character go limp and tumble in response to the world around them.
What it does
Ragdoll Reactions triggers a ragdoll state for the player when something happens nearby, such as being run over, a sudden change of direction, or an explosion. The character is then moved by physics instead of the usual animation until it settles, which gives the moment a visible reaction.
The mod depends on Sable and Sable: Ragdolls, which supply the physics and the player ragdoll itself. Without both of them installed, the mod cannot run. It is built for NeoForge and targets 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 0.7.0 for 1.21.1, published on 2026-06-19. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, while its source code and issue tracker are publicly linked.
Key features
Run-over reaction
A player struck by a moving vehicle or mob goes into a ragdoll state and is knocked around by the impact.
Sharp direction changes
Sudden changes of direction, such as hitting a wall at speed, make the player's body fold and tumble.
Explosion reaction
Nearby explosions send the player into a ragdoll state, scattering the body from the blast.
Further reactions planned
The author lists more triggers to come, so the set of situations that cause a ragdoll is expected to grow.
