+stomp mode
+----------
+
+:Type:		integer
+:Range:		0, 1, 2
+:Default:	2
+
+Determines whether grass should respond to the player treading on it.
+
+.. list-table:: Modes
+	:header-rows: 1
+	* - Mode number
+	  - Meaning
+	* - 0
+	  - Grass cannot be trampled.
+	* - 1
+	  - The player's XY position is taken into account.
+	* - 2
+	  - The player's height above the ground is taken into account, too.
+
+In MGE XE, which existing grass mods were made for, only the player's XY position was taken into account.
+However, presumably due to a bug, jumping straight up would change the XY position, so grass *does* respond to the player jumping.
+Levitating above grass in MGE XE still considers it stood-on, which can look bad.
+OpenMW's height-aware system ensures grass does not act as if it's being stood on when the player levitates above it, but that means grass rapidly snaps back to its original position when the player jumps out of it.
+Therefore, it is not recommended to use MGE XE's intensity constants if this setting is set to 2, i.e. :ref:`stomp intensity` should be 0 or 1 when :ref:`stomp mode` is 2.

+stomp intensity

+
+:Type:		integer
+:Range:		0, 1, 2
+:Default:	1
+
+How far away from the player grass can be before it's unaffected by being trod on, and how far it moves when it is.
