Fatal at 10 hearts: No

Game rule: Base result only: no armor, Feather Falling, effects, hay bales, water or other landing modifiers.

Step-by-step guide

How to use the Fall Damage Calculator

Enter the total fall distance in blocks.
Read raw damage points and divide them into displayed hearts.
Check the unprotected 10-heart fatal flag before building a drop.

Calculation

Formula and game rule

Base damage points = ceiling(fall distance − 3), with a minimum of zero. Two damage points equal one heart.

Worked example

Example result

A 10-block fall causes 7 base damage points, equal to 3.5 hearts before protection or landing modifiers.

What to check before using the result

Armor enchantments, status effects, water, hay bales, beds, slime, ladders and other blocks can change the outcome.
Current health matters: a non-fatal result for a full-health player can still kill an injured player.
