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.     ## Configuration File   ![The configuration file of the mod, showing options to enable custom formulas, and to change them](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/36fb69a901b89d63ceee30b06d56f5cadfb818d8.png)
