The Acrobatics skill rewards graceful movement. It grants a chance to negate fall damage (Roll / Graceful Roll) and a chance to halve incoming attack damage (Dodge).
Unlike most mcMMO skills, Acrobatics gains XP through two separate paths: fall damage awards XP directly (no sub-skill needs to proc), but Roll XP and Dodge XP are only awarded when those sub-skills successfully activate.

Compared to vanilla: Feather Falling reduces fall damage by a fixed percentage. Acrobatics' Roll and Graceful Roll instead have a chance to fully cancel the fall damage, scaling with skill level. Both can stack, Feather Falling reduces the incoming damage before mcMMO checks for a roll.
| Source | XP formula |
|---|---|
| Taking fall damage (no roll) | 120 × damage taken (HP) |
| Successful Roll or Graceful Roll | 80 × damage that would have been taken (HP) |
| Successful Dodge | 120 × damage dodged (HP) |
The Feather Falling enchantment doubles Acrobatics XP earned from falls regardless of enchantment level, but it also reduces base fall damage, so both effects combine.
The table below shows approximate XP earned per fall at various fall heights, with and without Feather Falling IV:
| Blocks fallen | Damage (HP) | XP (no FF) | XP (Feather Falling IV) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 2 | 240 | 480 |
| 8 | 10 | 1200 | 2400 |
| 12 | 18 | 2160 | 4320 |
| 16 | 26 | 3120 | 6240 |
| 24 | 42 | 5040 | 10080 |
Values assume no armor damage reduction, no potions, and no enchantments other than Feather Falling where noted. Actual XP scales with actual damage taken.
The following protections prevent AFK acrobatics farming (configurable in experience.yml):
ExploitFix:
Acrobatics: true
Setting ExploitFix.Acrobatics to false disables all of the above protections. Players can then repeatedly trigger fall damage and Roll from the same location indefinitely, accumulating XP without engaging in normal gameplay. This is intended for servers that deliberately allow accelerated levelling or do not mind AFK farming.

Roll gives a chance to negate fall damage when landing. A normal Roll negates up to 7 HP of fall damage; a Graceful Roll (activated by sneaking while falling) doubles the protection cap to 14 HP and also doubles the proc chance.
The proc chance scales linearly: 1% per level, reaching 100% at level 1000.
| Level | Roll chance | Graceful Roll chance | Max damage negated (Roll) | Max damage negated (Graceful Roll) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250 | 25% | 50% | 7 HP | 14 HP |
| 500 | 50% | 100% | 7 HP | 14 HP |
| 750 | 75% | 100% | 7 HP | 14 HP |
| 1000 | 100% | 100% | 7 HP | 14 HP |

Dodge gives a chance to halve incoming damage from attacks and other harmful sources. The proc chance scales linearly from 0% at level 0 to 20% at level 1000.
Dodge will not proc if the halved damage would still be lethal (the check uses the reduced value). After a player respawns, there is a short cooldown before Dodge can award XP again.
By default, Dodge does not apply to lightning strikes. This can be changed in config.yml:
