TaCZ Armor Scaling
by XiaoColorful
TaCZ Armor Scaling replaces vanilla armor damage with a linear, proportional reduction against TaCZ bullets, and it runs only on the server.
What it does
Server owners set how much each armor piece reduces damage from TaCZ bullets and how much durability it loses per hit. Other damage sources are not affected, so the change applies only to gunfire. The goal is a simpler balance for gun-focused packs, since the vanilla armor formula no longer decides how TaCZ hits land.
Two options switch proportional damage reduction and proportional durability loss on or off, and an armor ignore setting controls how much armor piercing applies, with a scale value that defaults to a neutral setting. Several configurations can be stored in one file, and the reload command applies edits without a restart. The mod requires Custom BattleRoyale and [TaCZ] Timeless and Classics Zero, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge.
The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Its builds cover 1.20 – 26.3, with 0.5.4 as the latest Forge file for 1.20.1 and 0.5.4-customgun for 26.3 on NeoForge.
Key features
Linear armor reduction
Each armor piece reduces TaCZ bullet damage by a configured ratio rather than the vanilla formula.
Durability loss per hit
Armor durability drops by a set percentage when it absorbs a TaCZ bullet, which can be tuned per armor piece.
Multiple configuration files
Several balance presets can be kept in one file and selected by id, so a pack can switch profiles quickly.
Armor piercing control
An armor ignore option and its scale value decide how much of a bullet's damage bypasses armor.

Balance testing

Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack makers who run TaCZ guns and want armor to respond to gunfire in a predictable way. Players on a server that runs the mod need no installation.

This mod allows for configuring specific damage reduction ratios and durability loss percentages for any armor against TaCZ bullets; it is ineffective against other damage sources. Replaces vanilla armor mechanics with linear proportional damage reduction to simplify TaCZ gun pack balancing. This mod needs to be…
