Damage Randomizer
by SKY-LESS
Damage Randomizer changes how much damage each inventory slot takes when a player is hit, with a set of config options for the effect.
What it does
When the player takes damage, the mod randomizes the damage applied to items held in the inventory, so tools, armor and other gear wear down unevenly from one hit to the next. Offhand randomization can be switched on or off in the config, and a cooldown controls how often a roll happens. Progression items such as ender pearls and blaze rods are blacklisted by default, so they are never picked for damage.
The mod needs Fabric API, which must be installed next to it. Damage Randomizer runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, across four release versions 26.1 – 26.2, and the latest file, 1.1.0 for 26.2, was released on 2026-06-23. The code is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Inventory damage roll
Each hit can apply randomized damage to items in the inventory instead of a fixed amount.
Offhand randomization
The offhand slot can be included or left out of the randomization, and the default is set in the config.
Progression item blacklist
Items such as ender pearls and blaze rods are excluded by default, so progression gear is not destroyed.
Cooldown and armor slots
A cooldown sets how often the randomization fires, and armor slots are covered by the same roll.

Portal Randomizer is open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, works on Fabric for 1.21.8 and is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Damage Randomizer is not open source, and its files are built for Fabric in the 26.1 – 26.2 range.
