Realistic Gravity
by Name_XBC
Realistic Gravity makes stone-type blocks collapse under gravity and lets players craft cobbled variants back into their original blocks.
What it does
Realistic Gravity is a Forge mod that adds gravity-driven block collapses. When a stone, deepslate, granite, diorite or andesite block is broken, there is a 25% chance the surrounding area of the same block type falls downward as a 6x6x6 region, reshaping the terrain around the player.
Cobbled Granite, Cobbled Diorite and Cobbled Andesite drop from their parent blocks when broken. Placed in a furnace, each cobbled variant smelts back into its non-cobbled form and yields experience points. The mod also changes vertical movement, so falling and jumping depend on the player's Y-level, and it runs on client and server.
The Forge files cover 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.19.4, with 1.2.0 for 1.19.4 as the latest release. Realistic Gravity is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Gravity-induced block collapses
Broken stone-type blocks can trigger a 6x6x6 collapse of the same block type, which tumbles downward.
Cobbled variant blocks
Cobbled Granite, Cobbled Diorite and Cobbled Andesite appear as new blocks when their parent blocks are broken.
Smelting back to original form
A furnace turns each cobbled variant back into its non-cobbled counterpart and grants experience points.
Y-level dependent movement
Vertical velocity changes with height, so descending from the top of the world and jumping near it feel different.

Use cases
Exploring cave systems
Players mining through stone layers meet collapses that reshape the tunnels around them.
Decorative builds
The cobbled variants offer textures for structures that mix ordinary stone with new block types.
Who it’s for: Players who want a survival challenge built around unstable terrain, and builders who want extra stone-type blocks for their structures. Both clients and servers need the mod.
How it compares
Gravity Force is a Forge option for 1.18.2, with client and server environment and All rights reserved licensing, so it is not open source. Strong Gravity covers 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 on Forge, is server-side only and uses the MIT License, so players join without installing it. Realistic Gravity instead focuses on collapsing stone blocks and cobbled variants, and it has to be installed on both sides.
