Description
# Protection Balancer
**For Minecraft 1.17-1.20.4**
**Requires [Necronomicon API](https://modrinth.com/mod/necronomicon) and [Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api).**
Lightweight, serverside mod that allows to define custom formulas to calculate damage reduction from armor and the protection enchantment.
**The reason behind this?**
Protection is busted, both in vanilla and modded. 88% damage reduction? No thanks.
Well, this mod by default changes the values to be up to 15% for armor (at 60), and 10% for protection (on a full prot V set).
- It is highly suggested to change, as it will not count armor toughness (due to it not using damage as a reference), so if you don't have anything that uses toughness for anything else, it makes the attribute useless.
