I find it kind of odd that you'd get the same amount of damage when you fall on a block of sand as when you fall on a block of planks or even iron. So, I think some materials should soften your fall damage.
-Sand reduces damage by 1 heart.
-Snow-covered ground reduces damage by 1/2 a heart.
-A full snow block reduces damage by 2 1/2 hearts.
-A wool block should reduce damage by 2 hearts.
-A clay block should reduce damage by 1/2 a heart. *splat*
and other soft blocks that I haven't thought of.

What say you?

I disagree about clay, and you forgot mud.
Also, some materials should have increased fall damage.
For example, gravel.

Nice idea, it would actually put a use to snow blocks, but i would think it would be this:
-Sand reduces damage by 1/2 heart.
-Snow-covered ground reduces damage by 1/2 a heart.
-A full snow block reduces damage by 1 hearts.
-A wool block should reduce damage by 1 1/2 hearts.
-A clay block should reduce damage by 1/2 a heart.
Just my views on this. :biggrin.gif:

If Notch did this, the thickness of the surface should be taken into account.

A three-thick layer of wool blocks would make a nice trampoline, whereas a one-thick layer wouldn't.

Notch is already planning to make wool blocks decrease fall damage and I think that would be fine, I would like to see a unique use for the wool block

I like this idea!
