Description
Improved Damage Framework (IDF)
Improved Damage Framework is my interpretation of a "combat update" for Minecraft. It is a mod that aims to vastly improve the equipment and combat of Minecraft in a way that aligns more with the style of the game. It does this by fully implementing stats found in traditional JRPGs, and altering the way damage and health is handled across the board.
Do not use IDF with Maxhealthfix, Responsive Shields, or Better Hurt Timers. The changes made by these mods are already included in IDF and they will cause your game to crash.
IDF's development is currently on hold while I work on a spiritual successor for 1.20.1. If 1.19.2 becomes a major modding version for Minecraft, I'll look into backporting it or returning to IDF. If you're interested, you can check out the devlog at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZQuWzOPVnPYxuqy4eRZuGA. Thanks.
