Protection Balancer Mod is a lightweight, serverside mod that allows to define custom formulas to calculate damage reduction from armor and the protection enchantment.
Features:
- Allows defining custom formulas to balance armor and protection enchantments.
- By default, reduces armor-based damage mitigation to 15% (at 60 armor) and protection enchantment mitigation to 10% (on a full Protection V set).
- Enables users to tweak armor and protection mitigation formulas.
- Since it modifies general formulas, it affects all entities, requiring manual adjustments for heavily armor-dependent mobs.
