Simple Combat Calculator

1. 01

   Positional combat

   Weapon position and the direction of an attack change the damage, with frontal attacks taking a 5 percent penalty.

2. 02

   Backstab bonus

   Attacks from behind receive a 25 percent damage bonus, rewarding players who flank an opponent.

3. 03

   Weapon condition

   Damage scales with durability: peak condition adds 15 percent, while critical condition at 0 percent takes a 30 percent penalty.

4. 04

   Critical hits and elements

   Critical hits add a 35 percent damage bonus, and an elemental damage system adds another damage type to attacks.

5. 05

   Environmental modifiers

   Surroundings and status effects feed into the calculation, so combat outcomes depend on more than the weapon alone.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want melee combat to depend on position, weapon condition and surroundings, on Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric or Forge.

Better Combat Reach Fix is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is client and server and is not open source, so it does not alter damage the way this calculation does. QoLculator is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs client-side only and is also not open source. Minecalc is open source under the MIT License, but it is client-side only and covers 1.18.2 – 1.20, so it does not match this mod's Fabric, Forge and Quilt builds for 1.20.1.

Simple Combat Calculator is one of 29,952 Game mechanics mods on ModsFinder, and one of 19,630 Game mechanics mods for Fabric. 34,764 mods support Minecraft 1.20.1.
