Breaking a fall is an essential of Minecraft because they are always one of the most common causes of death.

Ways to Break a Fall

Block Clutch

Cobweb Clutch

Main article: Cobweb

This technique uses cobwebs to break a fall. Cobwebs can reset fall damage[1]; however, they have this disadvantage where they take longer to break without either shears, flowing water, or a sword to break them.

Block Clutch

This uses any block, except fluids, hay bales, beds, and entities (i.e., minecarts, boats, etc.), to break a fall, though if this is performed at least twenty-five blocks higher than the surrounding terrain, it's practically useless.

Too high to use a block clutch!
Hay Bale Clutch
Main article: Hay Bale

This clutch uses hay bales to at least lessen the damage.

Block/Item Advantages Disadvantages
Cobweb It stops fall damage It needs shears, flowing water, or a sword to break; otherwise, it will take longer
Hay Bale It dampens fall damage by 80% Hoes are the fastest way to break it, so if you're in a manhunt and the hunters are gaining on you, this isn't the best option.

Elytra

If the player is wearing an elytra or has one in their inventory, they can break their fall by gliding safely to the ground.

Slow Falling Potion

If the fall is great enough, there may be sufficient time to drink a potion of slow falling before hitting the ground.

Boat Clutch

This involves placing a boat and entering it moments before the player hits the ground. If done correctly it can completely negate fall damage.
