Completely Remove Fall Damage From the Player

I am making a little plugin just for fun (my first one) and I have not found a simple way to remove fall damage from the player for a duration. I have a command that gives a jump boost and I don't want the player to do the bone breaking thing that slows you down when you fall from a high distance.

Code:

    else if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("predator")) {//beginning of the /predator command
           
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You are the predator!");
        Location playerlocation = player.getLocation();
        for (PotionEffect effect : player.getActivePotionEffects())
                player.removePotionEffect(effect.getType());
        player.playSound(playerlocation, Sound.BLAZE_DEATH, 100, 0);
            player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.JUMP,600 ,3));   
            player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED,600 ,3));   
            player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.INVISIBILITY,600 ,3));   
            player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.NIGHT_VISION,600 ,5));

You could add them to a list by a command or somehow. Then when EntityDamageEvent fires, check if the damage is caused by fall, and if they are on the list, cancel.

 

Couldn't you set their fallDistance to 0 for each time?
like : player.setFallDistance(0);

 

I'm very... very... very inexperienced with Java let alone any programming language so I am very confused about the EntityDamageEvent. It would be nice if someone could walk me through how events and entities work in general in Bukkit that would be nice. I know its a lot to ask but I could use a kick start.

 

Look at the plugin tutorial, it explains on how to use listeners. But listen for EntityDamageEvent, check if the event.getEntity() instanceof Player, check if the event.getCause() == EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.FALL, and event.setCancelled(true).

 

Thanks everyone for your help, I'll definitely look into this and report back if i'm successful. Thanks!

 

This is called automatically whenever an Entity is Damaged, but it won't be called ever because you need an @EventHandler annotation above the method, and to register the evet

 

How do I call the method. It requires an EntityDamage in the parenthases. What do I put there?
