Disabling Fall Damage Mid-Game

If you want to prevent fall damage during a survival playthrough without switching game modes or enabling cheat commands, you can toggle the specific rule through the in-game options menu.

Finding the Fall Damage Setting

1. Open the pause menu by pressing Escape.

2. Navigate to Options.

3. Click the custom Gamerules button to bring up the rule configuration interface.

Toggling the Rule

1. Scroll through the available gamerules to find the option labeled Deal fall damage.

2. Click the setting to change its value from true to false.

3. Save and close the menu to return to your game.

With "Deal fall damage" set to false, your character will no longer take damage when dropping from heights. You can return to this same menu at any point later to set the rule back to true whenever you want standard damage rules restored.
