Simple Damage Caps

by pieman492

Simple Damage Caps limits how much damage an individual hit can deal to chosen entities, set through data files rather than code.

NeoForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.21.1

What it does

The mod places a cap on the damage any single hit can deal to a given mob. Which entities are capped is decided by entity type tags assigned through two datamaps, so the limits can be customized in data packs without changing code. Each entry is stored under the mod's namespace in the data maps folder for entity types, and the file's own example shows the expected layout.

Only the NeoForge loader is supported, and only for 1.21.1. Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. The project is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and public links to its source code and issue tracker are available.

Key features

  1. Per-hit damage caps

    Arbitrary damage caps can be set so that a single hit never deals more than the configured amount to a mob.

  2. Entity type tags

    Capped entities are selected through entity type tags, so whole groups of mobs can share one limit.

  3. Two simple datamaps

    The caps are defined in two datamaps, which keeps the setup to data files and avoids any scripting.
