Rubber Boots
Rubber Boots are Industrial Craft 2 footwear that reduces fall damage to one eighth, negating drops of 10 blocks or fewer entirely.
Description
Every fall wears Rubber Boots down by (height - 3) × 7/16, so the cushioning has a durability price. An 83-block fall costs 35 durability, accumulated damage past 64 breaks Rubber Boots, and a single fall from up to 150 blocks never destroys Rubber Boots outright. Two Rubber Boots also serve as ingredients in the Quantum Boots recipe, so a spare pair avoids a second crafting round. Players who enter mines by jumping instead of climbing ladders get the most out of Rubber Boots: the 6 Rubber and 1 White Wool recipe is cheap protection against heavy fall damage.
Guide
How to craft and use Rubber Boots in Minecraft
-
1
Craft one pair
Place 6 Rubber into the four corners and the two side cells of the middle row on a crafting table, add 1 White Wool to the bottom-center cell, and leave the center and top-center cells empty; the grid outputs 1 Rubber Boots.
-
2
Equip Rubber Boots
Move Rubber Boots into the feet slot of the armor inventory to wear the pair.
-
3
Fall safely from up to 10 blocks
Jump or drop from heights of 10 blocks or less: Rubber Boots negate that damage completely.
-
4
Estimate damage on long falls
Apply the formula (height - 3) ÷ 8 rounded down: an 11–18 block fall deals 1 damage, and a 43–50 block fall deals 5.
-
5
Track the durability cost
Count every fall as (height - 3) × 7/16 wear on Rubber Boots: an 83-block fall eats 35 durability, and damage past 64 breaks the pair.
A single fall from up to 150 blocks leaves Rubber Boots intact; anything taller destroys Rubber Boots on impact.

Frequently asked questions
How much fall damage do Rubber Boots remove?
Rubber Boots divide fall damage by 8 and round it down. Falls of 10 blocks or fewer deal zero damage, an 11–18 block fall deals 1 damage, and a 43–50 block fall deals 5.
Do Rubber Boots make falling completely safe?
No, Rubber Boots only shrink the damage. A 163–170 block fall still deals 20 damage, so extreme drops stay dangerous.
How durable are Rubber Boots?
Every fall costs Rubber Boots (height - 3) × 7/16 in durability, so an 83-block drop wears off 35. The pair breaks when accumulated damage passes 64, and a single fall from up to 150 blocks never destroys Rubber Boots outright.
What set do Rubber Boots belong to?
Rubber Boots are the footwear piece of the four-piece Hazmat Set in Industrial Craft 2.
Are Rubber Boots used in any other recipe?
Two Rubber Boots are ingredients in the Quantum Boots recipe, so keep a spare pair in storage.
