Description
Better Damage completely reworks the vanilla damage system. New damage types, defense and attack multipliers, and entity types have been added.
More About the Changes
1. Damage Types
The mod adds 10+ unique damage types, each with its own Resistance and Power values that directly affect incoming and outgoing damage calculations.
2. Entity Types
The mod also introduces several entity types, each with unique resistance and power modifiers.
Some entity types also deal specialized damage — for example, spiders inflict Poison damage.
3. Damage Type Differences
Most damage types have their own distinct hit particles when they affect a target.
Many also apply special effects, such as:
- Poison → may cause Nausea
- Sound → may cause Stun
- Fire → may set targets Burning
- and more
4. Wetness Mechanic
When standing in water or under rain, the player becomes Wet.
This recalculates certain resistances. For example:
- +80% Fire Resistance
- Increased vulnerability to Electricity damage
This makes environmental conditions directly influence combat.
5. Enchantments
The mod adds several new enchantments, including:
- Magic Protection
- Cold Protection
It also reworks some vanilla enchantments.
For example:
- Smite now converts weapon damage into Holy damage instead of dealing regular physical damage.
