Shield Blocks Fall is a lightweight mod for Minecraft NeoForge 1.21.1 that adds a smart, intuitive feature: when you're falling, simply **look straight down and raise your shield to block fall damage. **Instead of your health taking the hit, your shield absorbs the impact—with durability loss that scales based on the shield's quality and enchantments (like Unbreaking III). It’s a seamless, vanilla-friendly tweak that rewards timing, awareness, and the gear you bring on your adventures.
