Altered Damage (Legacy Fabric)

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.17. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.17–1.17.1Newest
Minecraft 1.16.5
Minecraft 1.16–1.16.4

⬇ Download for 1.17–1.17.1 ⬇ Download for 1.16.5 ⬇ Download for 1.16–1.16.4

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Requires the library mod Collective (Fabric) and the Fabric API.

Altered Damage is a minimalistic configurable mod that alters damage taken with a modifier by players and other entities. It's both possible to decrease and increase the damage. There is an extra config option which prevents taking fatal damage from the extra modifier, from sources such as poison and starvation.

Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
preventFatalModifiedDamage (default = true): When enabled, does not change the damage output if it would be fatal with the modifier and not fatal without. Prevents dying from for example poison and starvation.

alterEntityDamageTaken (default = true): Modifies the damage another entity receives
alterPlayerDamageTaken (default = true): Modifies the damage a player receives
entityDamageModifier (default = 2.0, min 0.01, max 20.0): The global damage modifier for other entities.
playerDamageModifier (default = 2.0, min 0.01, max 20.0): The global damage modifier for players.
