❓ FAQ

Q: Does this work with armor/enchantments? A: Yes! The datapack activates before damage calculation, so your armor still matters.

lethal A: You'll only be protected from lethal falls. Small falls still cause normal damage.

Q: Does this work in multiplayer? A: Absolutely! Works perfectly on servers with multiple players.

Q: Can I modify the delay time? A: Yes! Edit `check_fall.mcfunction` and change the value in `matches 10..` (10 = 0.5s, 20 = 1s, etc.)

Q: Does this prevent intentional falls? A: The 0.5s delay allows quick falls to still work while protecting accidental dangerous falls.
