TrueDamage
by HLBQ
TrueDamage adds an enchantment that lets a weapon bypass a target's armor and deal its full damage.
What it does
Once a weapon carries the True Damage enchantment, its hits ignore the defense of the target and land at full strength. The author's example is a sword that deals 9 damage: without the enchantment, armor lowers the damage actually dealt, while with it the target takes the full 9. The mod runs on client and server, so both need it. It is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
Key features
Armor-ignoring enchantment
The True Damage enchantment makes an enchanted weapon skip the target's armor values on every hit.
Full damage delivery
A weapon with the enchantment deals its complete damage, so a 9-damage sword still hits for 9 against armor.
Damage calculation change
Without the enchantment, armor reduces the damage a weapon deals, which makes the enchantment change how fights against armored targets play out.
