Slow Falling is a status effect that causes the affected mob to fall slower and take no fall damage, but does not prevent ender pearl damage.

Mechanics

The effected entity will fall at a much slower rate, and will be immune to fall damage. However, they will still take damage from using an ender pearl. In addition, the entity will not be able to turn farmland into dirt by jumping on it.

Unaffected mobs

Boss mobs are the only mobs that cannot have this status effect.[verify] However, mobs such as shulkers[more information needed] can have the status effect but are unaffected by it.

Notes

  • If the player is sprinting while having this effect, they are able to jump across a nearly 6 block gap, compared to 4 blocks normally.
  • Unboosted elytra flight will be twice as efficient, but four times slower. Boosts work at normal speed, but the momentum gained doesn't last as long.
  • The player cannot land a critical hit while having this effect.
