Many professional Minecraft players utilize lots of fall damage prevention methods during their gameplay. Knowing these techniques often saves time during Minecraft speed runs.

Ways to avoid taking fall damage in Minecraft
5) Ender pearl
MLG water bucket trick. This is a super clutch and skillful move with the sole purpose of preventing fall damage.
Placing water on the block directly below where a player is going to land, and likely die, will break the fall entirely. It is not possible to take fall damage when landing in water, so gamers could also utilize any nearby pre-existing water sources if they end up falling from a tall place where this could be applicable.
This method can be somewhat difficult to pull off without practice. Many gamers tend to use this strategy while fighting the ender dragon since it is so common to be flung to insane heights by the boss mob.
There is even a new MLG bucket clutch for Minecraft players to utilize with the addition of powder snow in the 1.17 Minecraft update. A bucket of powder snow will do the same thing in the nether that water buckets can do for players in the overworld or the end in terms of preventing fall damage.
3) Boat
Boats are an incredibly versatile Minecraft element that can come in handy when attempting to avoid fall damage. In fact, there are many ways to prevent fall damage using just boats alone.
Boats can be used similarly to the MLG bucket trick. Or, players can hop into boats prior to jumping off of a ledge with a huge drop and simply boat down manually.
Anyone who watches popular YouTuber Dream’s manhunt video series is familiar with some of the insane boat clutches he has been able to pull off, including crafting a boat mid-air and riding a ghast while in a boat to avoid falling into lava. With enough practice, other Minecraft gamers can pull off these tricks too.
2) Potion of slow falling
