About this project

What does Parachutist add?

Jump from cliffs, towers, or airships with a reusable parachute you can steer. Deploy while falling, glide toward your landing spot, and tuck for faster directional dives.

The canopy takes a moment to open: fabric streams behind you before unfurling and catching the air. Pull early- fall protection starts once it is fully open.

Features

  • Parachute packs in the original tan and all 16 dye colors
  • Visible backpacks, harnesses, canopies, and suspension lines
  • Parachutist’s Goggles and a Handheld Altimeter showing height above ground and descent speed
  • A craftable Red Bull drink granting Speed I for 45 seconds
  • Crafting recipes, a dedicated creative tab, and configurable opening time, flight speeds, and instrument display

Controls

Wear a parachute in your chest slot, then:

  • H or Sneak + right-click to deploy or retract
  • WASD to steer
  • Sneak to descend faster; combine it with a movement key for faster directional steering

Landing retracts the parachute automatically. The deploy key can be rebound in Controls.

Optional compatibility

  • Curios: Wear parachutes in the back slot and goggles in the head slot over armor
  • Do a Barrel Roll: Adds mouse banking, rolls, and pitch-controlled dives under an open canopy
  • Better Falling 3.0.0: Freefall animations yield during parachute deployment and resume after retraction

These integrations are optional and installed separately.
