🛡️ Retro Armor Cap

Bring back the glory of tanking! Highly customizable armor mechanics, combat depth, and true immunity for modern Minecraft.

🌍 Fully localized and supports 30 languages out of the box!

📖 Overview

Are you tired of the modern armor calculation, where high-damage attacks make your endgame armor feel like paper due to diminishing returns? Retro Armor Cap is designed to fix exactly that, while adding massive depth to your combat system.

This mod allows you to restore the Old School (Linear) Armor Mechanics, where every point of armor provides a fixed percentage of damage reduction, regardless of how strong the incoming hit is.

Whether you want to recreate the combat feel of older versions, give mobs terrifying defensive capabilities, introduce armor penetration to weapons, or simply want to feel like a true tank in the latest updates, this mod gives you absolute control over the damage calculation.

✨ Key Features

⚔️ Mechanics Override (The Core)

Old vs. New: Choose between the modern Vanilla mechanic (with toughness) or the Retro Linear Mechanic.
Linear Calculation: By default, in Retro mode, 1 Armor Point = 4% Damage Reduction. (e.g., 20 Armor points = 80% flat reduction, even against massive boss attacks!)
Mob Support: Not just for players! You can configure non-player entities (mobs, bosses) to utilize the Retro Mechanics, making PvE combat significantly more challenging.

🗡️ Combat Depth: Armor Penetration

Pierce Defenses: Define specific weapons to have flat Armor Penetration values. A heavy axe can be configured to ignore 4 points of the target's armor, adding a rich tactical layer to both PvP and PvE!

➕ Bonus Systems (Highly Configurable)

Item & Curios Bonuses: Define specific items (held, worn armor, or Curios accessories) that grant extra pure damage reduction. Great for RPG modpacks (e.g., equipping a 'Cross Necklace' from the Artifacts mod grants +5% permanent resistance).
Advancement Bonuses: Reward progression! Grant permanent damage reduction to players who complete specific advancements.

⚖️ Balance & God Tier

Global Hard Cap: Set a strict limit on total physical damage reduction (Default: 88%) to keep standard survival balanced.
God Tier Armor Threshold: Playing insane modpacks like Avaritia or Draconic Evolution? If an armor's value is astronomically high, it can bypass the global cap and achieve 100% Absolute Physical Immunity. You configure exactly how much armor is needed to become a god!

🚀 Supreme Compatibility & Performance

Smart Calculation Skip: This mod perfectly respects other mods' mechanics. If a special item (like Avaritia's Infinity Armor or Mekanism's MekaSuit) already nullifies incoming damage to 0 before this mod's turn, Retro Armor Cap intelligently skips all its calculations. This ensures flawless compatibility with invincible mechanics and saves server performance!

🛠️ Optional Tweaks

Vanilla Netherite Buff: Optionally tweak Netherite Chestplates and Leggings to provide +1 armor point each, making the upgrade from Diamond truly worth it.

💻 Commands

/testdamage <amount>
- (Requires OP/Cheats)
- Simulates a complete damage calculation event (Base Mechanics + Penetration + Toughness + Bonuses + Cap) and shows you exactly how much damage you would take and why. The ultimate tool for testing your modpack's balance!

🛡️ Retro Armor Cap (复古护甲上限)

重铸坦克荣光！为现代 Minecraft 打造的高度自定义护甲机制、深度战斗与绝对防御。

🌍 原生自带本地化，支持 30 种语言！

📖 简介

你是否厌倦了现代版本的护甲计算公式？在面对极高伤害的攻击时，由于“收益递减”机制，你辛苦打造的顶级护甲往往仿佛脆如薄纸。Retro Armor Cap 正是为了解决这个问题而生，并为你的战斗跑团系统注入无限可能。

本模组允许你恢复 旧版（线性）护甲机制，即每一点护甲值都提供固定的减伤百分比，无论迎面而来的伤害有多么恐怖，防具的价值都不会被稀释。

无论你是想重现旧版本的战斗手感、赋予怪物更可怕的防御力、为武器引入“护甲穿透”概念，还是仅仅想在神仙打架的整合包中体验真正“绝对免疫”的肉盾快感，这个模组都能给你完全的掌控权。

✨ 核心特性

⚔️ 机制重写 (战斗核心)

新旧切换： 你可以在原版机制（依赖韧性）和 复古线性机制 之间自由切换。
线性计算： 在复古模式下，默认 1 点护甲 = 4% 物理减伤。（例如：20 点护甲意味着绝对稳定的 80% 减伤，即使面对泰坦级 Boss 也是如此！）
全局怪物支持： 护甲不只是玩家的特权！你可以开启配置，让怪物和非玩家实体也享受复古护甲机制，大幅提升 PvE 的硬核体验。

🗡️ 战斗深度：护甲穿透 (Armor Penetration)

击碎防御： 引入护甲穿透机制！你可以配置特定武器在攻击时无视目标固定点数的护甲（例如设定重斧无视 4 点护甲）。这套机制对玩家和怪物同时生效，为 PvP 和 PvE 带来全新的克制博弈！

➕ 独立加成系统 (RPG 必备)

物品与饰品加成： 通过持有物品、穿戴防具，甚至是佩戴饰品（完美支持 Curios API）来获得额外的纯净减伤。非常适合 RPG 整合包（例如：配置《Artifacts》模组中的“十字项链”以提供 +5% 独立减伤）。
成就加成： 用属性奖励玩家的进度！给予完成特定高难度成就的玩家永久的减伤加成。

⚖️ 平衡封顶 vs 神级破格 (God Tier)

全局上限硬顶： 设定物理减伤的绝对上限（默认 88%），防止普通生存模式下的数值崩坏。
神级护甲判定： 正在玩《无尽贪婪》这类神仙数值包？不用担心上限会削弱神器！当防具的护甲值高到离谱并达到你设定的“神级阈值”时，它将直接打破 88% 的限制，赋予玩家 100% 的绝对物理免疫！

🚀 极致兼容与性能优化

智能演算跳过 (Smart Skip)： 本模组的设计极度尊重其他模组的底层逻辑。如果玩家穿着特殊防具（如无尽甲的无限防御、通用机械的耗电无敌），导致传导至本模组时的伤害已经无限接近于 0，模组将智能跳过所有复杂的数学运算。这不仅完美包容了其他模组的“无敌”机制避免冲突，更极大地节省了服务器性能！

🛠️ 可选微调

下界合金增强： 觉得原版下界合金不够强？模组提供了一个略微提升下界合金胸甲和护腿护甲值（各 +1 点）的开关，让升级绝不亏本。

💻 实用调试指令

/testdamage <伤害值>
- (需要 OP 权限)
- 在游戏内模拟一次完整的承伤计算流程（涵盖基础机制 + 穿透 + 韧性 + 加成 + 截断运算），并在聊天栏输出极其详细的计算诊断报告。这是整合包作者用来测试数值平衡的终极神器！
