For years, the combat system has been unbalanced, with axe damage being overpowered and unrealistic. For instance, wooden axes dealt the same damage as diamond swords, while stone axes were even more powerful than netherite swords. This new data pack aims to correct these imbalances, ensuring a fair fight between players using swords and those wielding axes.
Axe damage values:
Wooden Axe: 5
Golden Axe: 5
Stone Axe: 6
Iron Axe: 7
Diamond Axe: 8
Netherite Axe: 9
