The Featherfall Potion is a buff potion which grants the Featherfall buff when consumed. The buff negates fall damage, and reduces the player's fall speed and gravity to 1/3 (33.33%) of normal, allowing them to jump higher and fall slower. This lasts for 10 minutes(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) / 5 minutes(Old-gen console and 3DS versions), but can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the icon (), by selecting the icon using Cycle Next/Previous Buff and then pressing Remove Buff (), by selecting the icon and canceling it in the equipment menu (), by double-tapping the buff icon (), or by canceling the buff from the buffs screen ().

While the buff is active, the player can also control their falling speed more precisely depending on the Hover Controls option in gameplay settings. The three available speeds are normal gravity, the default of 1/3rd normal gravity, and 10% of normal gravity. With the default hold control scheme, the player will experience normal gravity while the ▼ Down key is held, 10% gravity while the ▲ Up key is held, and 1/3rd gravity otherwise. With the click control scheme, their gravity will be set to 1/3rd upon touching and leaving the ground, and can be increased by one stage by pressing ▼ Down or decreased by one stage by pressing ▲ Up.

The Featherfall buff also works with mounts and minecarts (except for the Bee Mount), and works during reversed gravity. Fall damage will be negated even if the player is falling at normal speed or is under the effects of the Stoned debuff.

In addition to being crafted, Featherfall Potions can be found in pots, chests, and crates.

Notes

• The Featherfall Potion and the Djinn's Curse are the only items that can prevent fall damage while the Stoned debuff is active.
• Since the Featherfall Potion and the Djinn's Curse provides the same effect, they cannot stack with each other.

Tips

• The Featherfall buff lets players dodge incoming attacks vertically as well as horizontally with a level of control on par with Wings.
  • Wings allow the player to slow their fall and even fly back up, then hover once their flight time is depleted. By contrast, Featherfall does not allow the player to move up, but does allow them to almost stop falling or move to normal speeds, serving as a permanent and more flexible version of hovering.
  • The buff stacks with wings to allow even greater control and better use of limited flight duration.
• Featherfall benefits any mobility setup that does not use a flying mount, allowing earlygame players to control their vertical speed without using a double jump and lategame players to get far more range and control with wings.
• Featherfall Potions have a long buff duration and their ingredients are easily obtained once the player has a strong enough weapon to kill Harpies, which means players can have enough potions to use them constantly.
• Slow fall speed makes it easier to place blocks while falling, such as placing platforms on plants or Minecart Tracks during exploration.
  • It also makes it easier to spot and avoid Pressure Plates on the ground.
• With the Featherfall buff, and by holding ▲ Up, use a hook to grapple to an above platform, and releasing the grapple before reaching the grappled location, one may achieve jumping heights of several hundred tiles, which can help the player reach Floating Islands.
