I'm a bit fed up with steve's wimpyness. You climb up a mountain, then climb back down, and encounter a small 4-6 block drop which you think would be fine but then you hear steve go "OOF!" and POOF a heart is gone.
It'd be nice if I could fall some slightly bigger heights and not lose a foot. Anyone else agree?
The fall damage threshold is anything more than 3 meters (9.6 feet). It's a little stupid that this guy gets hurt that much from such a fall but if you consider that he's usually carrying like 20 tons of stuff it starts to make sense. Notch should just add parachutes or hang-gliders or something.

I know. It's nice that it's realistic and all, but at a lot of times it can be really inconvenient.
Honestly 4-6 blocks really doesn't look like a big drop. It seems like less.
poor you... take your time down a mountain.

for this you could just press it and place works you way down , so its not really needed to reduce fall damage or make it the way you describe it.
