💀 Fatal Fall

A vanilla friendly, server-authoritative fall damage overhaul for Valheim.

Fatal Fall keeps falls dangerous, but makes the outcome feel fair and learnable. When a fall is just barely lethal, Fatal Fall can trigger a Borderline Save—capping the damage to leave you barely alive, then applying a Bleeding status effect so you still have to deal with the consequences.

For truly extreme drops, Fatal Fall can optionally allow massive fall damage beyond vanilla’s cap (well over 100 HP) via an experimental uncapped mode (still refining, please report any bugs).
