Bounce

Quickstart

1. Craft the Bounce item using the recipe below.
2. Hold it in your hand (it works from your mainhand, no need to attack or use it).
3. Jump off something tall and land on solid ground — instead of taking fall damage, you'll rebound upward like landing on a bed.
4. Keep holding it while falling to stay protected; put it away and fall damage works normally again.

Overview

Bounce is a held item that turns dangerous falls into a fun springboard mechanic. As long as it's equipped in your hand, taking a real fall no longer hurts you — instead, hitting the ground launches you back into the air, just like landing on a bed.

What It Adds

• Bounce — a sword-shaped tool item that cancels fall damage and bounces the holder off the ground when landing from a significant fall.

How To Use

• Equip Bounce in your mainhand (hold it, don't just carry it in your inventory).
• Fall from a meaningful height — short hops or safe drops won't trigger anything, but a real fall will.
• While falling, you'll notice extra fall resistance kick in as a safety cushion.
• The moment you land on solid ground, you'll be launched back upward instead of taking damage, similar to bouncing on a bed.
• Each fall only grants one bounce. You need to land, spend some time on the ground, and then fall again to trigger another bounce.
• Standing on liquids (like water) won't trigger the bounce — you need to land on solid blocks.
• Unequip Bounce (switch to another item) to return to normal fall damage.

Crafting And Obtaining

Bounce is crafted at a crafting table using slime balls and blue dye:

The result is a single, non-stackable tool marked as uncommon rarity.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Fall damage cancellation: Any fall damage taken while holding Bounce is instantly restored, so you effectively take no damage.
• Bed-like rebound: Landing after a sufficiently long and deep fall launches you back into the air with a strong upward burst, letting you chain jumps and explore vertically.
• Fall protection buff: While actively falling a meaningful distance, you gain a temporary resistance effect that further softens the landing.
• One bounce per fall: Once you've bounced, that specific fall is "used up." You need to touch down, stand for a short moment, and start a new fall before you can bounce again.
• Requires a real fall: Small drops or brief airtime won't trigger the bounce or damage cancellation — the fall needs enough distance and duration to count.

Progression And Strategy

Use Bounce to explore tall structures, cliffs, and towers without fear of fall damage, and to chain bounces for quick vertical traversal. Because it only allows one bounce per fall, plan your landings — touch the ground briefly between big drops to "reset" your next bounce. Keep it equipped whenever you're navigating risky heights, and swap it out when you want normal movement and combat behavior from another weapon.
