WaterDrop
by moonulio
WaterDrop stops fall damage by placing a water or snow bucket under a falling player, then picking the water back up.
What it does
When a player falls from a dangerous height, WaterDrop automatically places a water bucket or a powder snow bucket beneath them, giving a safe landing time. Once the landing is done, the water is picked back up, so the inventory returns to its original state. The bucket is taken from the inventory, so the player needs one in the slots to be protected.
WaterDrop is Fabric-only and runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside. Files cover 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1, 1.21.11, 1.21.10 and 1.21.9, with the latest build 1.2.0-26.1.2 dated 2026-05-23. The mod is published under All rights reserved and is not open source.
