For example, feather falling or a water bucket would be considered “most effective.”
Lava bucket, duhh
Lava bucket MLG
This is because of Zedaph’s video?
Dripstone MLG
Minecart clutch. Place a rail midair, place the minecart midair, and hope you time it correctly to enter it.
Tipped arrow of slow falling clutch.
Wandering trader llama clutch. Hope a wandering trader spawns below you right before you hit the ground and then ride the llama.
Falling onto waterlogged leaves and shearing leaves just before impact. The leaves only instamine mid-air if you have Efficiency 5 shears, and you can’t enchant them in the enchanting table so you need to use an anvil.
Respawn anchor clutch. Place the respawn anchor when not in the nether, fill with 4 glowstone and right click it as soon as you can. It will knock you back slightly and you will take only about 6 blocks of fall damage. Very hard though and if you click too late, you blow up.
Evoker kill clutch. Kill an evoker standing below you, and grab the totem before you hit the ground.
