Weapons and Armor

How damage is calculated

Minecraft calculates the base: the weapon, enchantments, attack charge, and the jump crit. Player stats multiply that result, and the target's armor is applied last.

1. Base damage: weapon damage (with item quality) plus the Sharpness enchantment bonus. A hit before the attack bar is fully charged and a jump crit work as in Minecraft.
2. The attacker's Strength: x (1 + Strength / 100). Applies to melee hits and to projectiles fired by the player.
3. Pet skills can add their own multiplier (Pets).
4. Critical hit: with a Crit Chance probability, the hit gets x (1 + Crit Damage / 100). The player sees sparks and hears a crit sound. This crit is independent of the jump crit.
5. The target's Defense, if the target is a player: x 100 / (100 + Defense). Does not apply to falling into the void, the /kill command, or the world border.
6. The target's armor, toughness, and protective enchantments are applied last, to the result after Defense, as in Minecraft.

• Projectiles remember the shooter's Strength, Crit Chance, and Crit Damage from the moment of firing. Changing the item in hand while the arrow is in flight changes nothing.
• PvP: both multipliers apply, the attacker's and the defender's.
• Pet hits do not get the owner's Strength or crit, because the pet already has them in its damage.
• A player with no items has 30% Crit Chance and 50% Crit Damage, so on average deals x 1.15 of base damage.

Weapons

Weapons available in the game: from the item catalog, plain Minecraft weapons from drops, crates, and blueprints, and paid sets from the merchant's shop. Damage is the value of one full hit, counting the player's fist (1 point) and the Sharpness bonus, without stats. Regular weapon crafting is blocked, so a sword can only be made from a blueprint.

Weapon comparison

Average damage of a full melee hit at base crits (Crit Chance 30%, Crit Damage 50%) and varying Strength. Without the jump crit and without target armor.

A fully drawn bow fires an arrow for about 6 damage. Power V raises it by 150%, to about 15. Strength and crits multiply arrow damage the same way as a melee hit.

Armor

The catalog currently has no armor of its own. The only armor you can get is the Magic Armor Set from the merchant's shop for 700 VED: a full diamond set with Protection IV, Unbreaking III, and Mending enchantments, plus Resistance II and Regeneration I for 10 minutes. Regular armor crafting is blocked, and there are no armor blueprints.

Armor and Protection

A full set with Protection IV is 4 x 4 = 16 levels, which means 64% less damage after armor. The player's Defense is applied before armor, so armor receives an already smaller hit and protects better.

Values in health points (2 points = 1 heart at 100 Health). Without the Resistance effect and without absorption.

Stats on weapons and armor

Stats are granted by the four worn armor pieces and the item in the main hand, as long as it is not an armor piece. Stacking with the pet and the caps: Item list -> How they stack.

How quality changes the values

Weapons and armor from a blueprint have a quality from 0% to 100%. Quality changes the item once, at the moment of creation. The quality range depends on the profession and the blueprint quality (Blueprints and crafting -> Modes).

The weapon bonus scales, not the player's fist point: Iron Sword gives fist 1 + bonus 5, so at 50% quality it deals 1 + 5 x 0.75 = 4.75.

Iron Sword from the Iron Longsword blueprint

The only weapon from a blueprint. Profession: Weaponsmith, blueprint level 5.

The Health Regen and chestplate columns show how quality would change such an item if it were made from a blueprint. Today there are no armor blueprints or blueprints for weapons with stats.

The merchant pays 31 VED for an Iron Sword from a blueprint (the recipe's raw materials), regardless of quality. An Iron Sword from a drop or a crate sells at the default price, 1 VED.

Enchantments

• The enchanting table, anvil, and enchanted books work as in Minecraft, for items of any quality.
• Quality does not change enchantments or the enchanting cost.
• Enchantments from the item catalog are applied when the item is created. Keys have a hidden enchantment only for the glint.
• The merchant does not buy enchanted Minecraft items. A blueprint-crafted item is bought even when enchanted, at the price of its raw materials.

Repair

• An anvil with a material (e.g. a diamond for a diamond sword) repairs the item at any quality.
• Combining two items of the same kind in an anvil or grindstone requires both to have 100% quality or none at all. Otherwise the result does not appear and the player gets a message.
• Mending repairs with experience as in Minecraft.
• The maximum durability of a crafted item is fixed by its quality forever. Repair restores it at most up to that reduced maximum.
• The smithing table (e.g. a netherite upgrade) does not accept an item with quality below 100%.
• Combining two items in the crafting grid is blocked along with the rest of regular crafting.

To be decided

• Weapons from drops are unobtainable. Diamond Sword, Diamond Pickaxe (Mini Boss), Iron Sword (Strong Zombie), and Bow (Elite Skeleton) drop from mobs that have no spawn in the world. Iron Sword can be obtained from the Iron Crate and from a blueprint, Diamond Sword from the Diamond Crate.
• No custom armor and no armor blueprints. The catalog has no armor at all, and the only obtainable armor is the paid set from the merchant's shop. The Armorsmith profession has no blueprints.
• One weapon from a blueprint. The Iron Longsword blueprint makes a plain Iron Sword. There are no bow blueprints or blueprints for weapons with stats.
• Health Regen units. Health is counted in units 5 times larger than health points (100 Health = 20 points), while Health Regen is counted in health points. So Health Regen 2 heals as much as 10 Health. To be decided whether to leave it or convert to Health units.
• Weapon requirements are not checked. Hunter's Bow requires Hunting 30 in its description, but anyone can use it, and there is no such skill in the current system.
• Enchantments from the description. Beginner's Sword (Sharpness III) and Hunter's Bow (Power V, Flame II, Infinity, Unbreaking V) do not have the enchantments the description promises.
• Quality vs. enchanting. Quality does not affect enchanting. To be decided whether a weaker item should get worse enchantments or fewer slots.
• Combat professions vs. damage. Combat teaches combat skills (Skills and professions), but damage is calculated only from the weapon, stats, and the pet. To be decided whether a profession should change damage or hit chance.
