Shrug It Off

Each physical hit has a chance to be shrugged off, and that chance depends on the toughness of the entity being attacked. A fully shrugged-off attack is blocked completely, plays a clink sound and does not reduce armor durability. Attacks that get through still apply their status effects as normal, and the exact formula, which damage types and items are affected, and which entities are affected can all be set in the config.

The mod gives toughness a larger role in combat. Players can earn an extra toughness bonus by wearing a full armor set, a potion named Diamond Skin boosts toughness considerably, and the config can assign new toughness values to armor items, including modded armors. Netherite armor is backported to the version, and the author notes it becomes more useful when Shrug It Off is installed alongside Material Changer. Toughness that other mods grant, potion effects included, is honored by Shrug It Off.

The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. It is published only for Forge, with a single game version, 1.12.2, and the latest file is 1.1.2, dated 2024-04-05.
