RPG Damage Overhaul(RPGDO)

by httpedor

RPG Damage Overhaul replaces the vanilla damage system, so that each hit carries a damage type with its own passive effects.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

Attacks in RPG Damage Overhaul are split into damage types, and each type brings its own passive behavior. Mobs and players can carry resistances or vulnerabilities to specific types, which changes how fights play out compared with the default damage model. The mod adds tagged weapon support for BetterCombat, including attack animations that deal blunt, slash or pierce damage as configured.

The mod works with a long list of content mods, among them Alex's Caves, Alex's Mobs, Ars Nouveau addons, Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks addons, Bosses of Mass Destruction, Cataclysm, Enemy Expansion, Mowzie's Mobs and several others. Support depends on each mod's entities and items being tagged with the appropriate damage types, and the list names some mods whose support is outdated. The optional AttributeSetter dependency is needed for most of the compatible mods.

Installed on a server, the mod applies its damage rules to every player and mob. Clients need it too, so both sides run the same damage model. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project has a public source repository, issue tracker and wiki.

Key features

  1. Damage types with passives

    Each damage type comes with a passive effect, so hits differ in more than their numbers.

  2. Resistances and vulnerabilities

    Mobs can resist or be weak to particular damage types, which shapes how players choose weapons.

  3. BetterCombat weapon support

    Weapons and attack animations from BetterCombat are assigned blunt, slash or pierce damage through configuration.
