MIMESIS - BetterJump

🛟 Need help or found a bug? Get support at support.doodesch.de/betterjump.

Makes jumping in Mimesis actually useful - the stock jump is near-useless for getting around, so BetterJump retunes it (stronger configurable jump plus a brief forced-airborne window) to clear gaps and obstacles reliably.

Features

• Retunes your local player's jump so it is actually useful for map traversal (the default jump is near-useless).
• Configurable upward jump velocity (default 5.2 units/second) - raise it for higher, stronger jumps.
• Configurable "force unground" window after takeoff that keeps you airborne briefly so the game does not instantly re-detect the ground, improving jump responsiveness (default 0.08s).
• Affects only your own avatar and only triggers when you jump from the ground - other players are unaffected.
• Single Enabled toggle to switch the mod on/off without uninstalling, plus an optional DebugLogs switch for troubleshooting.
• Uses your normal jump key - no input rebinding.

Requirements

| Component | Version |

|---|---|

| MIMESIS | 0.3.0 (current Steam build) |

| MelonLoader | 0.7.3+ |

| MimicAPI | Required - NeoMimicry/MimicAPI |

BetterJump reads private jump and ground state through MimicAPI and will not function without it. Installing through a mod manager pulls in MimicAPI (NeoMimicry-MimicAPI-0.3.0) and MelonLoader automatically.

Installation

• Recommended: install with a mod manager (r2modman or Gale). It installs MelonLoader and MimicAPI for you - just click Install.
• Manual:
• Install MelonLoader 0.7.3+ into MIMESIS.
• Place both BetterJump.dll and MimicAPI.dll into MIMESIS/Mods.
• Launch the game once to generate the configuration file at UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg.

Configuration

Stored in UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg under the BetterJump category.

| Option | Description | Default | Values/Range |

|---|---|---|---|

| Enabled | Enable BetterJump functionality. When disabled, the mod does not modify jump behavior. | true | true / false |

| JumpVelocity | Upward speed applied when a jump starts (units/second). Higher values result in stronger jumps. | 5.2 | Any value >= 0 (negative values are clamped to 0 at runtime) |

| ForceUngroundTime | Seconds to keep the avatar airborne before the next ground check can succeed. Prevents the game from immediately detecting the ground after a jump, improving responsiveness. | 0.08 | Any value >= 0.01 (clamped to a minimum of 0.01s; the effective hold is at least 0.02s at jump time) |

| DebugLogs | Enable detailed debug logging for troubleshooting jump behavior. | false | true / false |

Usage

There is no keybind - just use your normal in-game jump input. BetterJump hooks the game's jump and ground-check logic, so jumping simply feels stronger and more responsive.

• Raise JumpVelocity for higher jumps; adjust ForceUngroundTime if jumps feel cut short.
• Changes take effect on game (re)launch.
• Effects apply only to your own avatar, so the mod is safe in multiplayer - it never affects other players.
