Advanced Damage Caps

This mod preserves game balance by preventing mobs from taking excessive damage through the use of various different types of damage caps. No matter how strong the player becomes, the game's balance will be preserved.

Cap Indicator: Whenever any of the damage caps above is hit, a cap indicator texture will show up above the entities head to the left side.

Adaptation: This damage cap causes mobs to adapt to specific damage types and items with each hit. You can configure the adaptation speed per hit, the maximum damage reduction (from 1% to 100%), and the duration of the adaptation. This encourages weapon variety by preventing players from relying on a single strategy. Players are notified of the adaptation via specific visual particles and sound cues:

1. Adaptation buildup: smoke particles will come towards the entity and a metallic sound will play which's pitch gets higher as the adaptation reaches it's maximum.

2. Adaptation max: large smoke particles will come from the entity and a heavier metallic sound will play.

3. Adaptation reset: campfire particles will come from the entity and a extinguishing sound will play.

Adaptation cap indicators:
Question mark shield: shows up when an entity has an adaptation active, but the player is not holding the item the entity is adapted to.

Exclamation mark shield: shows up when the player is holding an item that the entity is adapting to. The higher the adaptation the red-ish the texture gets. If the player hits the entity when it has reached it's 100% in adaptation, it'll play a shake animation.
