Override the default damage calculations.

[clqrified]

Is there a way for me to scrap the damage calculation of vanilla and change the formula. I want to change armor points from giving a flat 4% damage reduction bonus to a curve formula that makes higher defense less effective.

Not using forge. It is difficult to see how forge could provide this feature if 2 mods wanted to do different things.

If you really want to do it, look at something like: https://github.com/Shadows-of-Fire/Apotheosis/blob/1.18/src/main/java/shadows/apotheosis/mixin/CombatRulesMixin.java

Doing the same thing would obviously make your mod conflict with apotheosis.

Don't expect any further help on this, this is not a forge modding issue. 🙂
