Shield Blocks Fall Damage

by ARKK · on Modrinth

When shield blocking and looking downwards, you will take no, or very little, fall damage (damage customizable).

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.3 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.3 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.3 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.3 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.3 · Quilt
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Shield Blocks Fall Damage

In this datapack, you can block fall damage by looking downwards and blocking with your shield. This damage blocking can also be customized to block all damage, or some damage.

If you download the bouncy version of this project, you will bounce when you block fall damage with a shield. Make sure you download the required secondary datapack if you want this (listed in the bouncy version).
