Sable: Off-Balance
by httpedor
Sable: Off-Balance makes standing players tilt and recover balance on moving sublevels, and it needs Sable: Ragdolls on NeoForge.
What it does
Players standing on a sublevel tilt with its surface instead of sliding off. The mod casts a ray down through the sublevel to find the face under the feet and tilts the body to match, so a player stays upright on a tilted or moving platform. Standing still raises the angle a player can take before falling, while sprinting lowers it. After a ragdoll ends, a short grace period runs before a tilt can trigger another throw. First-person aim lines up with the surface, and other entities are drawn aligned to the surface normal they stand on.
Legs step to catch a fall and stagger toward the capture point, and the torso is righted with tunable core muscles that keep the head level and hold the arms. Leg support only pushes a foot that is touching the ground. The mod requires Sable: Ragdolls. Sable: Ragdolls is required, and pairing it with the Sable Player Ragdolls add-on makes the ragdoll state a genuine physical condition that carries consequences. Sable: Off-Balance is published for NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and is open source under the MIT License.
