Balanced Protection Enchant – Tweak the Power of Protection!
Tired of players turning into walking tanks with maxed-out Enchanted Protection armor?
Balanced Protection is a lightweight server-side Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that fine-tunes the Protection enchantment, reducing its effectiveness from 4% to 2% per level by default – making PvP and PvE more balanced and challenging.
Fully configurable, so server owners can easily adjust the percentage to fit their gameplay style!
Server-side only – no need for clients to install anything. Just drop it in your server's mods folder and you're good to go!
