Simple Damage Caps

Overview

A member of the Minecraft Pack Development discord was looking for a mod to cap the amount of damage an entity could recieve in a single blow, and other mods on offer weren’t configurable or customizable enough. As such I quickly threw together this mod allowing you to set per-entity damage caps with Neoforge’s Datamaps.

Configuration

Configuration of the mod is entirely done through datapacks.

• Three shortcut tags exist for pack devs who just want a simple damage cap and aren’t interested in configuration via datamaps. Entity Types tagged with _#simpledamagecaps:default_flat_damage_cap_, _#simpledamagecaps:default_percentage_damage_cap_, and _#simpledamagecaps:invincible_ will be able to take no more than 15 damage per hit, 5% of max health per hit, and no damage at all, respectively.
• Damage types can be assigned to the damage type tag _#simpledamagecaps:bypasses_damage_cap_ in order to completely bypass the damage cap on all mobs. This defaults to damage types that bypass invulnerability (such as /kill and void damage) in vanilla.
• Damage caps for individual entities and entity type tags can be assigned through two simple datamaps located in _{your_namespace}/data_maps/entity_type/_. See the spoiler below for an example.

/// damage_caps_flat.json
{
    "values": [
        "minecraft:wither": 15,
        "#minecraft:raiders": 5,
        "{entity_or_entity_type_tag_in_quotes}": {damage cap here}
    ]
}

/// damage_caps_percentage.json
{
    "values": [
        "minecraft:wither": 0.15,
        "#minecraft:raiders": 0.05,
        "{entity_or_entity_type_tag_in_quotes}": {damage cap as decimal percentage of max health)
}

Ports

Will only happen to the lastest “community consensus” modding version, at my discretion.
