Protection Balancer (Modpack Utils Series)

Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

Protection Balancer For Minecraft 1.17-1.20.4 Requires Necronomicon API and 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. Unintended Side Effects A common issue you might encounter is balance, ironically. As this mod changes the general formula, this means it applies to ALL entities. So if you have entities that depend heavily on armor, you might have to manually adjust them. Configuration File

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Server Utility on Fabric, Quilt. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The latest stored update signal is May 24, 2025. Older projects can still work well, but they deserve extra compatibility testing before being added to a current world or public server.

What to verify before choosing a file

• Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
• Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
• Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
• Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
• Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
