Skada is a rework of Minecraft's damage system. It aims not to change combat, but how the stats of mobs and weapons interact, with the goal of making Minecraft's adventure and exploring aspects much more interesting and exciting.
Minecraft's combat has always been a statcheck— not skill-based— system. Instead of trying to change that, Skada leans into Minecraft's DPS race, statchecky combat by adding features more commonly found in JRPG/turnbased games, such as elemental damage and resistances, attack types (strike/slash/thrust), and more. In adding these features, Minecraft gains a new layer of complexity and interaction without removing or changing anything that makes the game what it is.
What unique combination of gear will make you strongest? What do you want to experiment with? What kind of cool new stuff will you find on your next adventure? These are the types of questions Skada aims to enable.
Skada is a foundation more than a mod on its own. It is a tool for pack developers to create bigger and better things, and is not a plug-and-play mod that you can use in any pack.
This project is currently in alpha stages. There will be bugs, oversights, and incompatibilities. If you find any issues with balancing or incompatibilites, please leave a bug report on the issues section of the github repo.
For more information, please check out my my devlog series covering the mod. A formal wiki is currently WIP.
