Jump Unbound

Jump Unbound

Jumps cost only the movement you use, with a doubled base range. A Mod Configuration Menu switch decides whether Strength still adds to the distance.

What it does

• Jumping no longer costs a bonus action. A jump costs movement equal to the distance you jump.
• The base jump range is 9 m instead of 4.5 m.
• Strength still adds to the range, as in the base game: 1 m per point of Strength modifier. A switch in the Mod Configuration Menu turns this Strength part off; then every character jumps 9 m.

Strength	Base game	Jump Unbound, Strength on	Jump Unbound, Strength off
10	4.5 m	9 m	9 m
16	7.5 m	12 m	9 m
20	9.5 m	14 m	9 m

Boosts from spells, items and feats, such as Enhance Leap, still change the range on top of these values.

How to install

1. Install Norbyte's Script Extender. It updates itself.
2. Install the Mod Configuration Menu, version 1.41 or later. The official Mod Configuration Menu 1.41 or later works too; keep only one of them.
3. Download bg3_jumpunbound.pak from the latest release on GitHub.
4. Copy it to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods.
5. Enable Jump Unbound in your mod manager (BG3 Mod Manager or the in-game mod manager), below the Mod Configuration Menu.

To update the mod, replace the .pak with the one from the new release. To remove it, disable it in the mod manager and delete the .pak. Saves made with the mod can then show a warning about a missing mod.

How to use

• Open the Mod Configuration Menu (main menu, Esc menu, or the Insert key) and select Jump Unbound. The setting Add Strength to the jump distance is on by default.
• A change applies at once, also during a game.
• In multiplayer, the host's setting counts for all players.
• The Mod Configuration Menu stores the setting in its profile, not in the savegame.
• The Script Extender console command !jumpunbound prints the current jump values.

Compatibility

• Game version: Patch 8
• Jump Unbound replaces the game's jump (Projectile_Jump). Other mods that change this jump conflict with it: the mod that loads later wins. Use only one of them.
• Boosts from other mods that change the jump range work on top of Jump Unbound.

Known issues

• Step of the Wind (Monk) removes the bonus action cost of a jump. With Jump Unbound, a jump has no bonus action cost anyway, so Step of the Wind gives no extra benefit for jumps.
• In turn-based mode a jump uses movement, so a long jump needs enough movement left.
• With the Strength switch off, the jump tooltip still says that Strength affects how far you can jump.

How to build

Anyone can build this mod from its source code and check that the download matches it.

1. Install the tools: Windows PowerShell 5.1 (part of Windows) and LSLib v1.20.4. Put LSLib into a folder _tools\lslib\ above the repository, or set BG3_TOOLS to the folder that holds lslib\.
2. Build it: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\build.ps1
3. Find the file: dist\bg3_jumpunbound.pak

The offline tests need Python 3 with lupa: python -m pip install lupa, then python tests\run_tests.py.
