Shield Blocks Fall

by dr.panasaurus

Shield Blocks Fall is a NeoForge tweak that lets a raised shield absorb the damage from a fall.

NeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.1 – 1.21.5

What it does

When a player falls while looking straight down and holding a shield raised, the shield takes the impact in place of the player's health. Each blocked fall costs the shield durability, and the amount scales with the height of the fall. Enchantments on the shield, such as Unbreaking III, reduce that wear as they would in vanilla. The mod is a single small change to fall handling. It needs NeoForge and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.5, and the code is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Shield absorbs fall damage

    A raised shield takes the impact of a fall instead of the player's health.

  2. Durability cost by height

    The shield loses durability in proportion to how far the player fell, so higher falls wear it faster.

  3. Enchantments apply

    Unbreaking III and other shield enchantments reduce the durability lost when a fall is absorbed.
