Balanced Epic Fight

What does this mod do?

• Makes some Epic Fight combat features more balanced.

Features

1. No more hit trading

Mobs can no longer perform infinite attack loops. There is now a cooldown after their final basic attack. This cooldown duration dynamically increases based on the surrounding mob count and decreases based on the mob's maximum health.

How it works:

• Base Cooldown: 2.0 seconds.
• Crowd Penalty: The cooldown increases by 0.4 seconds for each additional mob around the player (starting from the 2nd mob). The maximum cooldown time is hard-capped at 5.0 seconds.
• Elite Adjustment: The cooldown decreases by 0.01 seconds for every 1 point of max HP. This gives high-tier enemies like Endermen and Iron Golems shorter cooldowns, keeping them aggressive while standard mobs retain a normal cooldown.

2. Crowd combat

Stamina cost is significantly decreased when the player is surrounded by a herd of mobs.

How it works:

• Dynamic Cost: The stamina cost for all actions is automatically scaled using the formula: Base Stamina / Mob Count.
• Minimum Cost Cap: To prevent infinite skill spamming and maintain game balance, the maximum stamina cost reduction is capped at 20% (you will never consume less than 20% of the original stamina cost, regardless of how many mobs are attacking you).

stamina_cost.json

Controls how much stamina is reduced when facing multiple enemies.

• algorithm: Accepts either "inverse" or "linear".
  • Inverse: Calculates the cost using the formula Base Stamina / Mob Count.
  • Linear: Reduces stamina by a flat percentage for each additional mob (starting from the 2nd mob). Formula: Base Stamina * (1 - (Mob Count - 1) * reductionPerMob).
• reductionPerMob: The percentage of stamina cost reduced per mob (e.g., 0.15 for 15%). Note: This property is only used when the algorithm is set to linear.
• maxMobCount: The maximum number of mobs that will affect the calculation.
• excludedMobs: A list of entity IDs (e.g., ["minecraft:enderman"]) to ignore during the calculation.

attack_cooldown.json

Controls the cooldown duration of mob attacks.

• baseCooldownTicks: The default cooldown duration in ticks.
• maxCooldownTicks: The maximum possible cooldown in ticks.
• tickIncreasePerMob: Ticks added to the cooldown per surrounding mob.
• tickDecreasePerHealth: Ticks subtracted from the cooldown per 1 point of max health.
• excludedMobs: A list of entity IDs to ignore when counting surrounding mobs.

• Minecraft 1.20.1
