Vertical Navigator shows exactly what's below — before you jump.
How it works
Sneak near any edge and a ray traces straight down. A glowing marker lights up the landing point, while your HUD shows drop height and predicted fall damage in hearts. Water, lava, fire, and void all get color-coded warnings so you know what's waiting.
Features
- Edge detection — triggers when you sneak, no block directly below needed (3×3 area scan catches platform edges)
- Fall damage preview — hearts show
(height − 3) × 0.5formula - Water buffer — landing in water cancels damage, blue marker
- Lava · Fire · Void — instant death warnings in red / orange / purple
- Configurable HUD — press V to open the config screen, use arrow keys to position and scroll wheel to resize, with live preview
- Bilingual EN/CN — auto-switches with your Minecraft language
- Client only — no server install needed, works on any multiplayer
Compatibility
Minecraft 1.20.1 · Forge 47.4+ · Client only · No dependencies
