Protection mod

by Player44440

Protection mod reworks how armor and protection enchantments reduce damage on a server, swapping the vanilla damage math for a configurable one.

FabricServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21.11

What it does

Damage reduction from general, specialized, fire, blast and projectile protection is computed by a formula that server owners can configure, so these enchantments no longer scale as they do in vanilla. Server owners can also tune how quickly armor and tools wear, and invulnerability, minimum hearts and plot armor are available as player state settings.

The mod is built for an economy server. Players can trade through a Shop GUI and an Auction House GUI, and prices come from a broad registry that includes archaeology finds, potions, armor, tools, maxed gear and spawners. Far Lands systems add glitch states for mobs, AI bots with factions, ambient effects and darkness.

Protection mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.21.11 and the latest file 1.12.8 dated 2026-10-10. The code is under the All rights reserved license, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Custom protection formula

    Vanilla damage reduction is replaced by a configurable formula that covers general, specialized, fire, blast and projectile protection.

  2. Armor and tool durability

    Armor drain multiplies the durability lost when a wearer takes damage, and a separate multiplier applies to tools and weapons when they are used.

  3. Shop and auction

    A Shop GUI and an Auction House GUI let players trade, backed by a large price registry for many item types.

  4. Far Lands mechanics

    Far Lands systems add glitch states for mobs, AI bots with factions, and atmospheric darkness and ambient effects.

  5. Gear upgrades

    Netherite tools and armor can be upgraded several times at a smithing table, improving attack damage, attack speed, mining speed and durability, with support for maces and spears.

What the author says

Core Protection System The mod replaces vanilla protection calculations with a custom, fully configurable formula. Protection no longer works the same way as in vanilla — general protection and specialized protection (fire, blast, projectile) scale differently, giving servers much finer control over how tanky players…
