Jump Boost

Jump Boost is a status effect that temporarily increases the jump height of the player.

Mechanics
Jump Boost allows the player to jump higher than the normal $1 1/4$ blocks. Each level adds 50% to the jump height. It also reduces fall damage by each level.

Arbitrary levels can be set via commands. Negative levels decrease jump height and increase fall damage (which also causes the player to start taking damage from short falls that would normally do no damage); extreme negative levels eliminates all jumping ability and causes damage even when stepping off a slab.

Unaffected mobs
Slimes, shulkers, magma cubes, withers, and the ender dragon are unaffected by Jump Boost.
