Step Height Fix
by Aleanni
Step Height Fix keeps a player's step height from dropping below a usable minimum, so the character climbs one-block ledges as expected after attribute changes from other mods or a respawn.
What it does
A player's step height can be lowered by other mods, and in some modded setups it stays reduced after death. Each player is checked, and a permanent attribute modifier is added only when the step height drops under the threshold, so the correction happens without notice and is not reapplied once the value is back in range. Walking up blocks stays smooth instead of clunky.
The fix runs on the server, which is the only side that changes the attribute, so players join without installing anything. It was built to coexist with other mods that adjust attributes, and the higher step height value is kept when another mod sets one. It requires NeoForge and is published for 26.1 – 26.1.2, with the latest file 1.0.1 for 26.1.2, released under the MIT License as open source.
Server owners who run modpacks with mixed movement mods can use it to standardise step height without editing each mod's config. Because the mod only sets a floor, it leaves higher values from other sources alone.
Key features
Minimum step height floor
Step height never drops below a usable threshold, even when other mods or a respawn reduce it.
Permanent attribute modifier
When a player is below the threshold, the mod applies a permanent modifier that corrects the value.
Respawn correction
Step height reduced by a death or respawn is restored, which fixes a bug in some modded environments.
Coexists with attribute mods
Higher step height values set by other mods are kept, so the fix does not override them.

Use cases
