Minecraft:Feather Falling

Template:For Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox enchantment Feather Falling is an Minecraft:enchantment applied to Minecraft:boots that reduces Minecraft:fall damage and Minecraft:ender pearl damage.

Obtaining

At level 30, Feather Falling is one of the rarest enchantments to obtain through an Minecraft:enchanting table.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> There is only a 2.7% chance for Feather Falling IV to appear on a pair of diamond boots when enchantments that require 30 levels are applied. However, Feather Falling appears much more commonly on an enchanting table at levels slightly lower than level 30. Below is a table with the chances of obtaining Feather Falling on diamond boots through an enchanting table at each level:

Experience level	Probability
30	2.7%
28	7.4%
26	29.6%
24	29.6%
22	44.4%
20	31.5%

As seen from the table above, Feather Falling is most common at level 22 when enchanting diamond boots through an enchanting table. Levels 24 and 26 still provide chances of obtaining Feather Falling much higher than that at level 30.

Feather Falling IV can also be obtained by combining two Feather Falling III enchantments on an anvil, by trading with villagers, from fishing, from vaults in Minecraft:trial chambers, and in the following structures' loot chests: Minecraft:desert pyramids, Minecraft:strongholds, Minecraft:ocean ruins, ancient cities, Minecraft:mansions, Minecraft:pillager outposts, Minecraft:mineshafts, Minecraft:monster rooms, and Minecraft:jungle pyramids.

Usage

Feather Falling reduces all forms of fall damage taken, even though fall damage normally ignores Minecraft:armor. This is not limited to falling from a great height either; Feather Falling reduces the damage taken from thrown Minecraft:ender pearls or from riding a Minecraft:mob that takes significant fall damage.

Feather Falling reduces damage taken from crashing into the ground with an Minecraft:elytra, but it does not reduce damage taken from crashing into a wall.

The damage formula that Feather Falling uses reduces fall damage by Template:Cd, up to a maximum of 48% with Feather Falling IV. This can be further increased with the Minecraft:Protection enchantment.

Damage reduction from Minecraft:Protection, Minecraft:Fire Protection, Feather Falling, Minecraft:Blast Protection, and Minecraft:Projectile Protection stacks up to an upper limit cap of 80%. Any further damage reduction that would normally occur is instead ignored. Feather Falling IV cannot reach this cap alone, as it reduces fall damage by only 48%. However, if combined with multiple Protection enchantments, the damage cap can be reached since Protection also reduces fall damage. To reach this cap using only Feather Falling, level VII would be required which is possible only with the use of Minecraft:commands.

Below is a list of how much fall damage is taken from varying heights when using each level of Feather Falling, with bold values indicating the point at which 10 or more hearts of fall damage would be taken, causing instant death to a player:

Trivia

• With Minecraft:boots enchanted with Feather Falling IV, and at least two other armor pieces enchanted with Minecraft:Protection IV, a Minecraft:player at full Minecraft:health can survive a maximum fall distance of 103 blocks.
  • The fall distance can be extended to 503.3 blocks provided that the player lands on a Minecraft:hay bale.
• Although Feather Falling should negate 12% of the damage per level, at level IV the height of guaranteed death is 55 blocks, not 57-58 (57.5) blocks.
