Release Notes

Armor Attribute Rework

Protection System Overhaul

• Completely reworked all ToolTiers protection attributes.
• Protection is now handled as an independent defensive layer instead of attempting to replicate vanilla Protection enchantment mechanics.
• ToolTiers protection is applied after vanilla armor, armor toughness and enchantment calculations, making the system easier to understand, balance and maintain.
• Generic Protection and specialized Protection attributes now stack correctly while remaining fully compatible with vanilla enchantments.

Diminishing Returns

• Fixed diminishing returns being calculated independently for each armor piece.

• Diminishing returns are now applied globally across the entire equipped armor set.

• The following attributes now correctly use the shared armor-wide diminishing pipeline:

  • Movement Speed
  • Protection
  • Fire Protection
  • Blast Protection
  • Projectile Protection

This prevents excessive stacking while preserving meaningful progression from better gear.

Internal Improvements

• Unified armor attribute processing into a single global calculation pipeline.
• Improved consistency and maintainability of armor attribute handling.
• Refactored the protection implementation to use the new shared architecture, reducing duplicate logic and making future balancing significantly easier.
• Additional internal cleanup and stability improvements.
