Disable Jump Crits

Disable Jump Crits

Remove vanilla jump critical hits without disabling attribute-based critical hits.

Disable Jump Crits is a lightweight Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, developed for Path of the Ascended and modpacks that use their own critical-hit systems.

Vanilla Minecraft normally grants a critical hit when a player attacks while falling. This mod disables that specific airborne critical check, so jumping cannot bypass your pack's intended critical-hit progression.

Features

• Disables vanilla jump crits: Falling attacks no longer receive the guaranteed vanilla critical-hit bonus.
• Preserves modded critical hits: Attribute-based critical chance and critical damage continue to be handled by their respective mods, including Zenith Attributes Renewed.
• Zenith critical feedback: Keeps Zenith crit sounds and electric-spark particles tied to successful damage events, avoiding feedback for rejected hits.
• Minimal gameplay impact: Does not change fall distance, movement, jumping, attack speed, normal melee damage, knockback or fall damage.
• Lightweight: No configuration, background scanning or tick-based processing.

Ranged attacks, spell critical hits and unrelated damage systems are not intentionally modified.

Compatibility

• Minecraft: Java Edition 1.20.1
• Mod Loader: Fabric
• Java: 17+
• Required dependency: Zenith Attributes Renewed 1.0.3
• Configuration: None

The Zenith compatibility code targets the internals of Zenith Attributes Renewed 1.0.3. Other versions have not been verified and may be incompatible.

This release is designed for both client and server. Install the same version on both sides when playing multiplayer.

Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.20.1.
2. Install Zenith Attributes Renewed 1.0.3 and its required dependencies.
3. Place Disable Jump Crits in your mods folder.
4. Restart Minecraft or your server.

No configuration is needed. Vanilla jump crits are disabled automatically.

Technical Details

The mod uses a targeted Mixin to suppress the vanilla airborne-critical flag inside PlayerEntity.attack. Additional Mixins handle Zenith's accepted-hit critical feedback.

It does not alter the player's actual fall distance, replace the combat system or change critical-hit attributes. Because some hooks are version-specific, compatibility with other Minecraft or Zenith releases is not guaranteed.
