Freeze player mid-air while jumping

Prevents the "falling through the floor" issue after the jump

Wouldn't that require players to have the fly mode toggled on beforehand?
It might be a better solution to just set gravity to 0 for a moment for the players in question.

You are right 😞 ...
Currently there is the hacky solution which moves the player +1 node in y-direction (62520e1#diff-7e84b1b4ef436fa578e06f0e58252390R110) but thats just annoying on multiple jumps...

Setting the gravity to 0 during the jump would not solve the problem: the jump is executed in a single serverstep, so no information is changed/sent to the client...

Another solution would be to move the player to the jumped position in the next serverstep, i have to experiment with that...

On our server, we use this solution:

• temporary disable gravity and player movement before jump
• re-enable gravity and player movement 3 sec after jump
• sometimes player still falls through, so place player into right position 3 sec after jump
• disallow jump if gravity is not enabled yet - i.e. immediately after jump

The only downside is that player is not allowed to move immediately after jump and have to wait 3 sec until quantum spacetime continuum settles down :)

New concept/proposal:

• register new invisible climable = 1 node
• fill target area with "buffer" node
• Use player:send_mapblock() to send "buffered" target area to player
• Execute jump (deferred?)

OR

• re-teleport player after a timeout (1 or 2 seconds) to same position again

EDIT: nevermind, used your idea @technix, thanks 👍
