Stoic Dummy
by yeelp
Stoic Dummy is a Forge mob for 1.12.2 that records the damage a player deals to it, shown in a history screen when the dummy is opened.
What it does
A dummy records the damage it takes from each source, including the initial hit, the final damage after potion effects and armor have been applied, and the total. Interacting with it opens an inventory where the damage history can be viewed. Equipping the dummy with armor adds permanent potion effects to it, and changing the kind of creature it represents affects how enchantments such as Smite and Bane of Arthropods count toward damage dealt.
Sneaking while interacting with the dummy makes it drop its entire inventory. Its recipe uses a handful of common ingredients, and the skull ingredient is registered through the ore dictionary so other skull types can be substituted. Distinct Damage Descriptions is an optional dependency that works alongside the mod. Stoic Dummy runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge only, for 1.12.2, and is released under the MIT License, which does not make it open source.
