How to Adjust Fall Distance Protection for High-Speed Landings

Descending steeply while slowing down in mid-air can normally build up fall distance in Minecraft, leading to unexpected damage when your feet touch the ground. Elytra Drag Mod reduces damage from high-speed landings by adding a cap to your fall distance.

Landing From High Altitude

1. Glide toward your landing zone, even when descending from high above the clouds.

2. Press and hold the Sneak key to engage the air brakes, watching for the small puff of smoke and custom wing animation that indicate drag is active.

3. Keep your speed controlled until touchdown. The mod's fall distance limit caps how much landing damage you can take from a fast descent.

Changing the Fall Distance Cap

If you want landings to be even safer or prefer keeping more survival risk on steep drops, you can adjust this limit directly:

1. Open your Minecraft directory's config folder and open the Elytra Drag Mod config file in a text editor.

2. Find the fall distance cap setting.

3. Lower the cap to further limit landing damage, or raise it if you want rough, high-speed landings to deal more damage.

4. Save the file and relaunch Minecraft for the new limit to take effect.
