I hope mobs will also got the effect. Example :
Chickens will not flap its wings anymore to avoid fall damage after they fall from more than 5-7 blocks, making them fall normally and take the fall damage from the rest of the fall. Because it doesn't make any sense if they can avoid fall damage from 100 blocks high just by flapping its wings. Once they land, they receive 30% less damage because chickens are very light.
I'm pretty sure falling onto stone would be harder than falling onto wool. But, Minecraft has never been known for its realism. This would be a nice addition, though. SUPPORT!
This thread's been resurrected, eh? I guess I can support this.
No it isn't.
I can do so right now.
/*The player object will be the player entity. It has a few variables to worry about.
Player.Health -- This is measured from 0 to 20 (10 hearts)
Player.Y_Initial
Player.Y_Final
Player.Y_Delta (the change from initial to final)*/
//The block object will be what the player lands on. It only has one variable to worry about.
//Block.Rigidity -- This is a floating point number that goes from 0.1 to 3, the lower, the less rigid the block. This can also be stored as a nibble from 1 to F with each value representing 0.1 to save on space, it's really not taxing as this is only called if the player changes Y (jumping or scaling) which is several orders of magnitude less frequent than lighting updates.
//Alternatively, you can simply use the block's existing ID and create a look-up table for rigidity and apply from the table (this really saves on space and performance).
//Example: Dirt has a value of 04; a simple document holding the values looks up 4 and returns a desired value; the bad part is the seek time for the LUT. This is a caveat of optimization; you can either save space or save time; you can't do both
/*Current formula. Player.Y_Delta=Player.Y_Initial - Player.Y_Final;
(Player.Y_Delta>3 ? Player.Health -= (Player.Y_Delta - 3):);
Above is a ternary operator. If Y_Delta is greater than 3, reduce player's health by Y_Delta-3.
*/
// Changing the formula
((Player.Y_Delta * Block.Rigidity) >3 ? Player.Health -= ((Player.Y_Delta * Block.Rigidity)) - 3):);
//We apply a block's rigidity to the fall distance. If the fall * rigidity is too high, then you take damage.
//Let's imagine that soil has a rigidity of 0.8; you would be able to fall 3.75m before taking damage. You set the rigidity to 0.5 and you have a 4.5m fall; the lower the value; the more you can fall at expanding rates.
/* Minimum distance to take damage, and first 3 damage breakpoints and (KILL DISTANCE)
1.5 = 2.00m, 2.66m, 3.33m, (15.3m)
1.4 = 2.14m, 2.85m, 3.57m, (16.4m)
1.3 = 2.31m, 3.08m, 3.85m, (17.7m)
1.2 = 2.50m, 3.33m, 4.16m, (19.2m)
1.1 = 2.72m, 3.64m, 4.55m, (20.9m)
1.0 = 3.00m, 4.00m, 5.00m, (23.0m)
0.9 = 3.33m, 4.44m, 5.55m, (25.5m)
0.8 = 3.75m, 5.00m, 6.25m, (28.8m)
0.7 = 4.28m, 5.71m, 7.14m, (32.9m)
0.6 = 5.00m, 6.67m, 8.33m, (38.3m)
0.5 = 6.00m, 8.00m, 10.0m, (46.0m)
0.4 = 7.50m, 10.0m, 12.5m, (57.5m)
0.3 = 10.0m, 13.3m, 16.7m, (76.7m)
0.2 = 15.0m, 20.0m, 25.0m, (115.m)
0.1 = 30.0m, 40.0m, 50.0m, (230.m)
Honestly, I expect the gradients to be from 0.6 to 1.2*/
Ugh, as usual, I spend more time commenting my code than I actually do code.
You guys do realize that Mojang has been going easy on you for the fall damage. In real life, falling onto water is equavilant of falling onto concrete.
This is Minecraft. Screw logic, because you fall with feet first in Minecraft. If you fall with your body first in real life, it hurts. A LOT.
EDIT : I did that months ago. Ouch.
I think faling on wood doesn't decrease the fall damage, since they are hard. Also, the snow and the leaves are great idea. 1-block deep water will still give you 50% of the normal fall damage. 2-blocks deep will cut about 80% of the damage, and 3 blocks will not damage you.

No need to help, I don't think there will be anymore update for this map, but fell free to customize the map yourself
Yes, I added a couple things that make this map more like survival/adventure map, such as special weapons and dungeons.

Thanks a lot for improving every computer's performance! You are the best

Using view bobbing while taking fall damage will shake the camera hardly, depends on the height.
