Altered Damage
by Serilum
Players and mobs take more or less damage through two configurable multipliers, and Altered Damage applies them to every hit.
What it does
Altered Damage multiplies the damage that players receive and the damage that other entities receive. Each side has its own global modifier, set to 2.0 by default, with a configurable range, so the value can either reduce or increase incoming damage. Two switches, alterPlayerDamageTaken and alterEntityDamageTaken, both on by default, decide which side the modifier affects.
A separate option, preventFatalModifiedDamage, is enabled by default and stops the modifier from turning survivable damage into a fatal hit. Fatal damage from sources such as poison or starvation is held back, so a player does not die from a scaled tick that would have been survivable without the modifier. The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs to run it. Installation requires Collective, which is listed as a required dependency. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.16.5 – 26.3 with 29 release versions, and the latest file is for 26.3, published 2026-10-02.
The project is not open source. Its code is under All rights reserved, though its public source code and issue tracker are linked from the mod page.
