An updated version of CopyGirl's fantastic StepUp mod...for game version v1.20 and newer ONLY.
For older game versions, go here: https://mods.vintagestory.at/stepup

Doubles step height of PLAYERS (0.6 to 1.2 blocks) to allow stepping up whole blocks by just walking forward.


I can't live without it but unfortunately it needed a small fix. I would have written it from scratch myself but it's hard to create an original version of a one line mod. If the original version gets updated I will gladly take this one down.

A huge shoutout to CopyGirl for the original Step Up, as well as CarryCapacity, Farmland Drops Soil, and other mods. Your contributions to the VS community are second to none!

Would it be possible to get a config to make this only happen while sprinting? It always tries to make me walk on furniture in buildings, and I dont want to remove the mod because of this. Thanks !

RebelSkull, Mar 12th at 10:15 PM

SpearAndFang Oh jesus christ I just saw that lmao. Sorry to bother you

 

SireRoxas, Mar 10th at 12:50 AM

Thanks for the update 😁

It doesn't go on the server

RebelSkull, Mar 8th at 9:48 PM

I put this on my server, in the right spot. Not working. Could I be doing something wrong?

 

BlueFuryDragon, Feb 8th at 2:01 AM

This works in pre release.

Sorry this mod probably will not help with that. It is very simple, like one line of code simple.

Anwaan, Dec 23rd 2025 at 5:16 AM

Not sure if this is something covered by this mod, or if anyone has a suggestion. I'm fairly new to the game and I've noticed when trying to hunt, it's impossible to sneak up closer to any animals since sneaking prevents jumping up on blocks, or stepping down. I have to stand first (even for a split second) and it's enough to spook the prey. Does this mod resolve that issue or do I need a different solution?

LunaSchmidt, Dec 15th 2025 at 10:40 PM

tysm! this is really helpful as ive already begun to recieve complaints of blackguards managing to outrun normal people due to them not needing to jump every block, and essentially scaling mountains with ease, so this should balance out the pvp in the server, again, thank you!

SpearAndFang , Dec 15th 2025 at 3:39 PM (modified Dec 15th 2025 at 3:44 PM)

Your server's serverconfig.json has a couple of settings that should make this possible
"ModIdBlackList": null,
"ModIdWhiteList": null,

and here is the ModId of this mod
https://github.com/SpearAndFang/stepupcontinued/blob/main/modinfo.json#L4

I've never used it myself but I understand it will work.  More info
https://discord.com/channels/302152934249070593/406473219239968768/1338279417494896670

most notably
"You can add "ModIdWhiteList": ["game"], to block any additional client side mods."

Some people use mods like this

LunaSchmidt, Dec 15th 2025 at 5:20 AM

any idea if theres a way to make it so people cant use this? i found out a couple people in this big server im hosting are using this mod and I think its a little unfair to those who dont have the mod (in a pvp sense) and was just wondering if it was possible to get the mod myself and globally make the step height back to normal? thanks

zackadiax24, Nov 29th 2025 at 5:47 AM (modified Nov 29th 2025 at 5:48 AM)

My thumb owes you a great debt. I also love that this can be used entirely client side.

SpearAndFang , Oct 19th 2025 at 3:08 PM

bintoss

I'm sure it would be, with a json patch or harmony patch. This is not my mod, I only use it for playtesting other mods, and it has never had any issues for me in single player.

If someone wants to create a better version of this or submits a pull request, I am willing to accomodate. Beyond that I would rather just remove this mod than spend time improving it.

bintoss, Oct 19th 2025 at 9:17 AM

Compared to StepUp Advanced, this mod is elegantly simple. I could immediately find what might be causing performance hitches.

api.Event.PlayerEntitySpawn += player => player.Entity.GetBehavior<EntityBehaviorControlledPhysics>().StepHeight = 1.2F;

Every time a player entity is created, its StepHeight is set. Would it be possible to override the game's default value player step heights?

PauliusZ, Oct 14th 2025 at 3:41 PM

This mod to me was lagging game hard. Fps spikes.

Phobiak, Sep 29th 2025 at 11:50 AM

This mod causes atrocious amount of lag for me every 2-5 minutes, not just in game but my whole pc freezes for few seconds. When paired with other mods specifically the  stamina mod Vigor it gets way way worse to the point where I had to restart my PC. I am not sure which other  mods may cause that since I play heavily modded game atm but when I removed it and repalced it with StepUp Advanced it worked without flawlessly.

blipsk, Sep 27th 2025 at 10:00 AM

Thanks for this. Step Up was one of my essential mods

SpearAndFang , Sep 13th 2025 at 3:24 PM

RunYouCleverBoy
I tried with and without this mod and could not crouch and step down.
If you are asking if I will add such a feature to this mod, then no I will not.  This mod is one line of code to do one thing and I want to keep it this way.

RunYouCleverBoy, Sep 13th 2025 at 5:46 AM

is here able to  stepdown if i hold my crouch button?
cause i need to stealth closer to animal but i cant step off the 1 block heigh cliff?

NylonCat, Aug 26th 2025 at 6:11 PM

Appreciate the fast update, works flawlessly in 1.21!
All the bears and wolves trying to jump me are in shambles.

TheRealFlynn, Aug 26th 2025 at 6:38 AM

yay. ty <3

SpearAndFang , Aug 17th 2025 at 9:17 PM

I'm keeping this mod simple.  Maybe you want this one?

LivCi, Aug 17th 2025 at 8:06 PM

Thank you continuing this mod, I hate stubbing my toes on stairs.. One suggestion though: can you make the step height configurable pls? I'd like to adjust it so it's enough to easily step up on stairs, but not enough to do a step-up for full blocks. That seems kinda unfitting for me gameplay wise, so having that option would definitely be neat 😁

GreenDragonette, Jun 29th 2025 at 1:12 PM

Thank you for this mod, it makes the game so much smoother to play!

FizzBronson, Jun 15th 2025 at 5:37 PM

It's beyond me why this hasn't been implemented into the game client.

neoncaturday, Jun 6th 2025 at 8:17 AM

thank you for this mod! <3

i don't get having a voxel game like this without making stepup an option. I'm glad VS has built-in mod support though :)

SpearAndFang , Feb 17th 2025 at 3:27 AM

skunix

"Configurable Step Height: Adjust your step height between 0.2 and 2 blocks"

that's not the impression I get when I read this

 

skunix, Feb 17th 2025 at 2:01 AM

SpearAndFang but that one lets you step up two blocks, I only want to let players step up one block.

SpearAndFang , Feb 17th 2025 at 1:43 AM

skunix
This mod is basic. And ridiculously reliable - one line of code.  You want the other one

skunix, Feb 17th 2025 at 1:02 AM

Could you update this so that it can be installed server wide?

eddiegtb, Jan 27th 2025 at 11:25 PM

Any chance of getting an option for instant stepping like another certain block game's mounts? The slow climb up is strangely less smooth for movement than an instant "teleport" up, weirdly enough...

Brutus, Jan 19th 2025 at 8:34 AM

Super. Działa rewelacyjnie

RangerRipley, Dec 4th 2024 at 6:41 PM

Bless you SpearAndFang, you're the literal best. 

SpearAndFang , Nov 19th 2024 at 8:59 PM

Xiarno
One day perhaps. I really only needed this mod for myself to playtest my other mods.

Xiarno, Nov 18th 2024 at 5:48 PM

Is it possible to add a button / config to disable it while in-game?

I want it on most of the time but sometime I wanna disable it while I'm doing something.

SpearAndFang , Nov 13th 2024 at 6:15 AM

client side yes

Raehi, Nov 8th 2024 at 11:44 PM

can I confirm if this is really client side and does not need to be on the server?

SpearAndFang , Oct 13th 2024 at 3:29 PM

This mod adjusts the step height of players only.  AFAIC It has nothing to do with elks or players riding elks.

Jomeaga, Oct 13th 2024 at 2:25 AM

I'm not sure if it is doing anything for the elk mounts, they step up REALLY slowly and jerkily

Ailith, Sep 28th 2024 at 8:44 AM

Oh yay! Didn't wanna live without this but coming back explicitly to try out the 1.2 stuff

Guimoute, Sep 20th 2024 at 12:56 PM

Let's hope it works better than how tamed elks step up!

GrumpyOldMan1066, Sep 19th 2024 at 2:26 PM

Thanks for updating this.  This is one of my must-haves too.

You do awesome work keeping vital mods going!

SpearAndFang , Sep 19th 2024 at 6:39 AM

Oh did I mention that this mod is for game version 1.20 only?

For 1.19.8 and older versions of the game, use the original mod instead:
