About this Mod
Features:
- Fall deflect with shield durability cost.
- Bounce and forward momentum based on fall strength.
- Sprint-only shield ride mode.
- Crouch to reduce bounce height.
- Configurable behavior for balance.
- Custom enchantments and advancements.
How to deflect:
- Hold a shield in main hand or offhand.
- And you need to look down and use it.
How to ride:
- Start falling with shield ready.
- Keep sprint pressed at impact.
- Deflect at impact to get forward boost in look direction.
- Stronger fall gives stronger bounce and speed.
- Hold crouch to reduce bounce height.
Why deflect may fail:
- You did not use shield before impact.
- Fall distance is below the minimum configured threshold.
- Curse of Luck can randomly fail deflect or break shield.
- Shield durability is too low and overflow damage can still hurt the player.
