Dominatus : Refinement
by MrSypz
Dominatus : Refinement changes combat, durability and gem handling in a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that adds monster critical hits and a new damage calculation.
What it does
Monsters can land critical attacks, and the combat math works from an evasion check and a revised damage calculation with separate modifiers for magic and projectile damage. Armor counts for less than in vanilla, and refining gear becomes necessary to keep its power. Running away is presented as a viable choice rather than a fallback.
Refined items last longer: durability reaching 0 no longer destroys them outright, and they can be repaired at an anvil with mending. Gemstones have their own durability, and each one has a 10% chance to break when it is used to kill a monster, with the highest tier named Tri III. Certain gemstones appear in specific loot chests across the world, and a dedicated gem inventory holds up to 8 slots that can be cleared by right-clicking a gem. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it requires Accessories, Cloth Config API, Fabric API, Knumber, Mod Menu and Reduced Invincibility Frames.
Key features
Monster critical attacks
Monsters can land critical hits, adding a random element to fights that the player has to account for.

Gemstone breakage
Gemstones lose durability when they kill a monster and break at a 10% chance per kill, up to the maximum tier.

Gems are stored in their own inventory with 8 slots, and a gem can be deleted from it through a context menu.
