Feather Weight is a Rare enchant for Diamond Boots boots. Each time you would take fall damage, it has a chance to cancel the damage entirely. The chance grows with every level, from 8% at level I to 28% at level VI.
How to get it#
Feather Weight comes from the Rare rune. A Rare rune costs 100,000 XP in the enchant shop and turns into an enchanted book with one of the 11 Rare enchants in Survival, picked at random, so each rune has a 1 in 11 chance of being Feather Weight. See Runes for how the level and the success chance of a rune book are rolled.
Effect#
When you land after a fall and take fall damage, Feather Weight rolls its chance, which is 4% plus 4% per level. On a success the damage is cancelled completely, however long the fall was. On a miss you take the normal fall damage. Only fall damage is affected; other damage is untouched.
Levels#
| Level | Chance to cancel the fall |
|---|---|
| I | 8% |
| II | 12% |
| III | 16% |
| IV | 20% |
| V | 24% |
| VI | 28% |
Notes and tips#
- Even at level VI the enchant fails more often than it works, so it is a safety net, not a replacement for water buckets or Feather Falling.
- Only the boots slot is checked. There is no cooldown, so every fall rolls separately.
- Lower levels are more likely when a rune book is revealed (level of the book), so level VI is the rarest result of a Feather Weight book.
