Armor Cap Remover
by GLDonutlord
Armor Cap Remover lifts the vanilla limit on armor damage reduction, so armor no longer stops at 80 percent of incoming damage.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft caps how much damage armor can absorb at 80 percent. This Fabric mod removes that cap, so the reduction is no longer limited and armor can block a larger share of each hit. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. The only file is 0.0.1 for 26.2, published on 2026-07-28, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Uncapped damage reduction
Armor reduces incoming damage with no 80 percent ceiling, so heavily armored characters can take much less harm.
Vanilla cap removed
The default armor damage limit is lifted, and the change applies to every armor piece without extra setup.
Standalone or with Refined Netherite
The mod works on its own, and it can also be paired with the Refined Netherite addon for stronger armor scaling.

This mod removes the vanilla Minecraft armor damage reduction cap (normally maxed at 80%). With this mod, damage reduction is uncapped and unlimited. It was primarily made as a companion addon for the Refined Netherite mod, but fully compatible as a standalone tool for anyone wanting more powerful armor scaling.
