# HighFloaty<\/p>\n
**The higher you go, the floatier you get.**<\/p>\n
A small NeoForge 1.21.1 mod that scales gravity smoothly with altitude. Up at cloud height, jumps carry further, falls land softer, and arrows drift through the sky on long arcs. Down at ground level, everything is vanilla.<\/p>\n
## What it does<\/p>\n
Below a configurable Y level (default `y=200`), gravity is fully vanilla. From there up to a configurable end Y (default `y=319`), gravity ramps down to a configurable minimum multiplier (default 50%). The curve shape is selectable: linear (smooth ramp) or exponential (gravity stays near vanilla most of the way up, then drops sharply near the top).<\/p>\n
The effect applies to:<\/p>\n
– Players and mobs
\n– Dropped items, falling blocks, TNT
\n– Arrows, thrown projectiles
\n– Boats and minecarts<\/p>\n
Fall damage scales naturally,so less velocity at impact means less damage.<\/p>\n
## Create Aeronautics support<\/p>\n
If you have **Create Aeronautics** and **Sable** installed, HighFloaty automatically activates compatibility code so airships, planes, hot-air balloons, and other Sable-driven sub-levels also feel lighter at altitude. The integration is fully optional: without Sable, the mod runs as a vanilla gravity tweak.<\/p>\n
## Commands<\/p>\n
A small text HUD shows your current Y, the computed gravity multiplier at that Y, and the active configuration (master enable, range, min multiplier, curve mode):<\/p>\n
`\/hfhud` \u2014 toggle the HUD (client-side, no permissions needed)<\/p>\n
For tweaking on the fly, an OP-only command tree:<\/p>\n
“` Y bounds run from -2048 to 4096, so extended-world-height mods are supported.<\/p>\n Commands modify in-memory overrides only. Restart the game to revert to your config file values. Useful for finding the right curve without committing to it.<\/p>\n ## Configuration<\/p>\n Edit `config\/highfloaty-common.toml` or use the in-game config screen (Mods \u2192 HighFloaty \u2192 Config):<\/p>\n | Setting | Default | Description | ## What it does NOT affect<\/p>\n – **Vanilla Create cart contraptions, mechanical pistons, mechanical bearings, elevator pulleys.** These use Create’s own movement code that doesn’t go through standard entity gravity. ## Compatibility<\/p>\n – **Minecraft** 1.21.1 ## Server use<\/p>\n Drop the jar in the server’s `mods\/` folder. All connecting players also need the mod installed.<\/p>\n For dialing in the curve on a live server: use `\/highfloaty info` to see active settings, tweak with the command set, find what you like, then write the same values into `config\/highfloaty-common.toml` so they persist across restarts.<\/p>\n ## Known limitations<\/p>\n – Vanilla Create’s older contraption types (carts, pistons, bearings) aren’t affected. Sable-driven Aeronautics contraptions are. ## Credits<\/p>\n – Compatibility patches built against the public APIs of Sable and Sable Companion by RyanHCode<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The higher you go, the floatier you get (works with create aeronautics)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":81178,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"highfloaty","_minecraft_project_id":"YeqMlETH","_minecraft_author":"herolegend","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":96,"_minecraft_follows":3,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"highfloaty.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":21334,"_minecraft_version_count":1,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T14:19:03.115631Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-05-01T23:37:18.618454Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-04-26T16:28:17.315579Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/highfloaty","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":81178,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-04T16:07:54+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"b7372b7e309ceb66f67799cc60a7f122","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[89,158,869],"mod_loader":[160],"minecraft_version":[37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82,83,167,163],"class_list":["post-81177","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-transportation","mod_loader-neoforge","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9","minecraft_version-26-1","minecraft_version-26-1-1","minecraft_version-26-1-2"],"yoast_head":"\n

\n| `enabled` | `true` | Master toggle |
\n| `gravityStartY` | `200` | At and below this Y, gravity is fully vanilla |
\n| `gravityEndY` | `319` | At and above this Y, gravity reaches its minimum |
\n| `gravityMinMultiplier` | `0.5` | Multiplier at and above end Y. 1.0 = vanilla, 0.0 = zero gravity |
\n| `curveMode` | `LINEAR` | `LINEAR` (straight ramp) or `EXPONENTIAL` (steep near the top) |
\n| `airshipScaling` | `true` | If true and Sable is installed, scales airship\/sub-level gravity. Set to false if it misbehaves |<\/p>\n
\n– **Rapier internal collision dynamics inside a sub-level.** Items rolling on a moving airship deck still feel the engine’s internal gravity (set once at dimension init). The body’s overall motion is altitude-scaled; on-deck physics is not.
\n– **Iris Shaders** has known visual issues with Sable. Not our problem, but worth knowing if you see weird rendering.<\/p>\n
\n– **NeoForge** 21.1.0 or higher
\n– **Sable** \/ **Create Aeronautics** \u2014 optional. Compat activates automatically if installed.
\n– **Required on both client and server.** Gravity is a physics calculation that runs on both sides; mismatched installs cause desync.<\/p>\n
\n– Sable is in active development. If a future Sable version refactors `ServerSubLevel.prePhysicsTick`, the airship integration may need an update \u2014 disable with `\/highfloaty airships off` if that happens.
\n– Tested against Sable 1.1.3.<\/p>\n
