Multiplicative Enchantment Damage

The mod changes how the damage enchantments scale. Sharpness, Smite, Bane of Arthropods and Impaling are recalculated as percentages instead of fixed additions, which the author describes as a way to narrow the gap between heavy and light weapons. Sharpness starts at +16.8% at level 1 and adds 8.3% for each further level, reaching x1.5 at level 5, while Bane of Arthropods, Smite and Impaling add 41.6% per level, reaching x3.08 base damage at level 5 against their target mobs.

The author notes that flat damage bonuses let fast weapons outpace slow, heavier ones, including two-handed weapons, and that the gap grows late in a playthrough. Because the multiplier stacks with critical hits, a level 5 enchantment combined with a critical hit compounds. Modded enchantments such as Illager's Bane or Sculk's Smite are not hardcoded; their scaling is handled through a data pack, and the author replaces the damage add effects with the new formula. The mod is released under the MIT License. Client and server both need it, and it is published for NeoForge with a single supported version, 1.21.1.
