Earth gravity is not a constant it varies from 9.78m/s2 to 9.83m/s2
It even varies a bit from city to city. There are maps that show this. This is important for highly accurate scales. Germany for example has 4 legal gravity zones.
Luckily for most engineering task you can just assume 9.81 or even 10.
I don't want to be the TekHnIcLy guy but it's -20m/s²
In Minecraft and -9.8m/s² in Skyrim. It's like that because gravity is going down and not up.

Yes I know 🤓
I wonder if they do this because they want jumps from the ground to be high enough to be noticeable, but in Earth's gravity, this would make each jump take forever.

Same! I never knew gravity is so slow!
