Play with a customised iron hoe called the
Death Scythe
.
Features:
Damage formula:
Final damage = base-damage + missing-health-damage * (1 - currentHealth / maxHealth) + max-health-damage * (maxHealth / baseMaxHealth - 1)
The baseMaxHealth is the standard 20 health, so this modifier will always be zero unless the player has a health boost status.
Crafting recipe:

Features:
- /scythe to give yourself a scythe (requires OP).
- /scythe <player> gives the specified player a scythe.
- Craft it the same way as a normal iron hoe, but with iron blocks and sticks.
- Inspired by Hu Tao's elemental skill from Genshin Impact.
- Right-click and swing the scythe to hit nearby mobs and players. Activation consumes a portion of your health and the damage increases the lower your health is.
