## \u2753 FAQ<\/p>\n
**Q: Does this work with armor\/enchantments?**
\nA: Yes! The datapack activates before damage calculation, so your armor still matters.<\/p>\n
**Q: Will I never take fall damage?**
\nA: You’ll only be protected from **lethal** falls. Small falls still cause normal damage.<\/p>\n
**Q: Does this work in multiplayer?**
\nA: Absolutely! Works perfectly on servers with multiple players.<\/p>\n
**Q: Can I modify the delay time?**
\nA: Yes! Edit `check_fall.mcfunction` and change the value in `matches 10..` (10 = 0.5s, 20 = 1s, etc.)<\/p>\n
**Q: Does this prevent intentional falls?**
\nA: The 0.5s delay allows quick falls to still work while protecting accidental dangerous falls.<\/p>\n
