💀 Fatal Fall

Server-authoritative fall damage overhaul for Valheim.

Fatal Fall makes falls truly deadly.
Extreme drops will deal 100+ damage and reliably kill careless players, no silent caps, no soft landings, no vanilla forgiveness.

Optional experimental systems exist for servers that want them.


CORE
  • Uncapped Fall Damage (Default ON)

    • Removes vanilla’s effective fall-damage ceiling
    • Extreme falls deal extreme damage
    • High drops are reliably lethal (100+ damage)
    • Server-authoritative and multiplayer safe
  • Server-Enforced Damage Logic

    • Damage handled through Character.RPC_Damage
    • No client-side spoofing or bypassing
    • Dedicated-server compatible
  • Vanilla-Respecting Philosophy

    • No stat inflation
    • No fake knockdowns or invulnerability
    • You fall — you die

OPTIONAL: BORDERLINE MODE (Experimental)

Disabled by default.

Borderline Mode is an experimental survival mechanic for servers that want near-death drama instead of instant death.

  • Can spare a player from a near-lethal hit
  • Leaves them at critical HP instead of dead
  • Protected by cooldown to prevent abuse

This system is intentionally:

  • Off by default
  • Clearly labeled experimental
  • Heavily configurable

OPTIONAL: BLEEDING CONSEQUENCE

Used only with Borderline Mode.

  • Applies a Bleeding StatusEffect after a save
  • Damage over time reinforces that mistakes matter
  • Configurable duration, DPS, and minimum HP floor
  • Optional skip if Staff of Protection bubble is active

OPTIONAL EXTRAS
  • Popup messages (fall vs non-fall pools)
  • Heartbeat sound on near-death events
  • Stagger on survival
  • Debug logging for server operators

CONFIGS

Config file:
BepInEx/config/Pix.FatalFall.cfg

Key defaults:

  • Uncapped Fall Damage: ENABLED
  • Borderline Mode: DISABLED

Everything is configurable:

  • Fall damage scaling
  • Extra damage thresholds
  • Borderline behavior
  • Cooldowns
  • Bleed tuning
  • UI & audio

If upgrading from older versions and behavior seems off, delete the config to regenerate defaults.


SERVERS
  • All damage logic enforced server-side
  • Uncapped fall damage requires confirmed fall events
  • Borderline saves and cooldowns are authoritative
  • Clients cannot spoof damage outcomes

Safe for:

  • Dedicated servers
  • Modded packs
  • Hardcore survival servers

REQUIREMENTS
  • BepInEx
