Armor Durability Cap
by Tyvor
Armor Durability Cap limits how much durability worn armor can lose from a single hit, with a simple setup for everyday play and detailed rules for pack makers.
What it does
A hit that would drain too much durability from armor is capped by the mod, so one blow cannot strip a piece of gear in one go. Settings are split into a basic config that a normal player can read and an advanced config meant for modpack authors and server administrators. Basic settings cover the everyday case, while the advanced file sets rules per item, per slot and per damage type, including special cases.
Vanilla armor and modded armor are both supported. Armor that uses normal durability behavior is handled, and the mod is useful in both lightweight packs and heavily modded setups. Armor Durability Cap is built on Fabric API and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 26.1.2 and 26.2, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
