Resistance Formulation

Resistance Formula

THIS MOD DOESN’T REQUIRE SINYTRA CONNECTOR, UNLIKE RESISTANCE BALANCER

Lightweight, server-side-only mod that lets you define a custom formula for the Resistance effect’s damage reduction.
Tweak Resistance to be weaker, stronger, or anything in between—without touching armor math or other mods.

Features

• Replace vanilla’s fixed 20% per level with your formula.
• Add an extra flat bonus per level (e.g., +5% per level).
• Works serverside only (clients don’t need it installed).
• Prevents Resistance V+ invincibility by enforcing a minimum final damage.
• Compatible with armor, Protection enchants, attributes, and most combat mods.

Configuration
A config file is generated at config/resistanceformula-common.toml.

Keys:

• formula → math expression, using a variable level (default "0.20 * level")
• flatReductionPerLevel → additional flat % per level (default 0.00)
• maxReduction → caps damage reduction (default 0.00)

Examples:

• Weaker than vanilla: formula = "0.05 * level"
• Stronger than vanilla: formula = "0.10 + 0.15 * level"
• Curved scaling: formula = "0.10 * (level ^ 1.25)", flatReductionPerLevel = 0.02

How It Works

• Captures raw incoming damage before vanilla mitigation.
• Adjusts the final damage so the net reduction matches your formula.
• Guarantees you still take damage even at very high Resistance levels.

Testing

Try Resistance II with /effect give @s minecraft:resistance 99999 1 true.

• Vanilla: 40% reduction
• Config formula = "0.05 * level" → 10% reduction
• Config formula = "0.25 * level" → 50% reduction
