How do I install Precise Damage?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Precise Damage work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.17.1, 1.18.1, 1.17, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Precise Damage

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

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.

Precise Damage

Precise Damage — Minecraft Java mod, screenshot 1

Change damage calculations to allow for fractional values! Can be installed in singleplayer same as any mod, or on a server (works with Vanilla clients!).

Normally, an item with an armor attribute of (for example) 4.5 points will be rounded down and calculated exactly the same as an attribute with 4 points. This mod fixes that. Same for percentage calculations. 9 points of armor plus a 25% attribute is 11.25 points, but Vanilla treats it like it is 11.

New in version 1.1! Precise Armor is now Precise Damage! The mod now works on PersistentProjectileEntities (Bow and Crossbow arrows). If there are any other sources of damage that are rounded, please let me know!

This mod does not change the player's armor bar HUD display like the gif (so to be compatible with vanilla and other HUD mods). For that, you need the precise-armor-bar mod (work in progress, Github link).

Be sure to check out my other mods, Stacker, Workings, InventoryTabs (updated), End Stone, and Teeny Coal!
