It's OK if the occasional real-visible-armor-carrying zombie still takes extra hits.įall damage and suffocation damage seem not to be able to “remove the armor”: I have not found any combination of two falling stages, or 1 tick of suffocation followed by falling, which will result in a one-punch kill. The mechanism must be fully automatic and accept zombies arriving through a water stream. How can I automatically soften up the zombies a little bit more so that they only take one punch to kill, preferably in a way which ends in a drop of at least 11 blocks? (23 ½ is the same, and 24 blocks will simply kill them.) I’ve heard that this is due to zombies having “armor” (not visible armor, evidently) that has to be broken first (or perhaps it has something to do with the effects of rounding on armor damage reduction). Vines do not have a top surface, so they are easier to land safely on.There's something about zombies in Minecraft that if you merely drop them down 23 blocks for the fall damage, they take two punches to kill, rather than one punch like other mobs. You need to make sure you land next to the ladder as if you were climbing it. If you fall onto a ladder or vine, you will slow down to climbing speed and not take any damage.īe careful landing on ladders they have a top surface you can stand on, and if you land on that you will take damage. Ladders and Vines can be placed on walls so you can climb up and down.

If you press Sneak while you land you will not bounce but you will take full damage, so don’t do that. Press Jump as you land to perform a controlled landing with no bounce (but still no damage). When you land on one you will bounce like on a trampoline and take no damage.īe careful that you don’t bounce too high and suffer a heavy landing elsewhere. Slime blocks are crafted from Slime Balls. Hay Bales are a great option for placing around your base if you prefer jumping off the roof to using the stairs. Place Hay Bales on the ground and the amount of damage will be reduced by 80%.Īlthough you’re still taking damage, it’s not much for this 40-block fall and with full health you’d survive a fall of 100 blocks. Jumping into water, even shallow water, will allow you to land safely. These are things you can place where you want to jump or might fall later, or that you can look for if you need to make a long jump while exploring. The next few tips won’t help you if you’re in the middle of a falling emergency, but instead they are things that can help you avoid fall damage if you are in a position to plan ahead. You can control the direction with your mouse. Then, while in the air, press Jump to start your glide.

You must be wearing the Elytra in the slot for your chest armour. <<Īlso to be found in The End, the Elytra is a wings/cape thing that allows you to glide. Simply eat a Chorus Fruit (also found in The End) to be teleported back to safety.


If you find yourself slowly rising into the air, it probably means you are visiting The End and have encountered a Shulker. This is the only method on this page that is likely to save you if you are falling into lava or the Void. You take an amount of damage when you land, but this is reduced by good armour (and Feather Falling boots will help too). When you throw an Ender Pearl you will be teleported to wherever it lands, so if you’re quick and throw your Pearl you can abort your fall and land somewhere safe. Don’t try this in real life! Ender Pearls It takes a little bit of practice to learn this skill, but it can be very useful. You can only empty the bucket when you are close enough to click on the ground, so timing is essential. To take advantake of this, you can carry a water bucket and empty it just before you land so that you land in water. Landing in water will break your fall so that you take no damage at all. Here I only just survived - but I survived! Water Bucket You will almost always survive a 40-block fall, and may survive an even higher one. This enchantment on your boots will reduce the damage you take from a fall, by a random amount. These items will help you survive a fall in an emergency situation, if you fall from a high place. All of the videos below show me surviving a 40-block fall. There are a few ways to escape from a long fall.įalling 23 blocks will normally kill you even if you start with full health. Falling from high places is a popular way to die in Minecraft.
