Fall damage determines whether players and NPCs take damage when falling from great heights. This setting is configured per world in the world configuration.

How to Enable or Disable Fall Damage via Configuration

  1. Stop the Server
    Stop your server via the dashboard.

  2. Open the World Configuration
    Connect to your server via SFTP and navigate to:

    /universe/worlds/<worldname>/config.json
    

    Replace <worldname> with the name of your world (e.g., default). Each world has its own config.json. If you have several worlds, change the setting in each world separately.

  3. Change the Fall Damage Setting
    Find the IsFallDamageEnabled setting and change the value:

    "IsFallDamageEnabled": true
    
    • true - Fall damage enabled (default)
    • false - Fall damage disabled
  4. Start the Server
    Start your server for the changes to take effect.
