⚠️ Note: The Custom RPG HUD replaces the vanilla health and hunger bars. Visual features from mods like AppleSkin will not render on the RPG HUD. You can always disable the RPG HUD in the mod configs if you prefer the vanilla look!

📊 New Custom Stats

Welcome to the new RPG-style combat system! Your custom HUD now displays a variety of advanced statistics. Here is exactly what each stat does to help you build the ultimate character:

RPG Stats

💡 Tip: You can toggle the Stats Box visibility at any time by pressing the "O" key (default keybind, fully customizable).


⚔️ Core Offensive & Defensive Stats (Click to expand)
  • Attack Damage / Ranged Damage: Shows your exact damage output. The HUD dynamically swaps between melee and ranged damage depending on the weapon in your main hand.
  • Attack Speed: Indicates how fast you can swing your melee weapons.
  • Draft Speed: A custom multiplier for Ranged Weapons. It dictates how fast you can draw a bow or load a crossbow. For example, a 2.0x Draft Speed means you charge your weapon twice as fast. (Highly synergistic with the Accelerate enchantment!)
  • Armor: Reduces incoming physical damage. The HUD now calculates and displays the exact percentage (%) of physical damage you mitigate based on our custom RPG armor formula.
  • Magic Resistance: A brand-new defensive layer! Reduces incoming magical damage (e.g., Evoker fangs, Witch potions, Harming arrows, and magic weapons). Just like Armor, it displays the exact percentage of magic damage mitigated.
🗡️ Penetration & Lethality (Click to expand)
  • Lethality (Physical): Flat physical armor negation. It directly subtracts a fixed amount of Armor from your target before calculating your physical damage. Excellent for bursting down lightly armored targets.
  • Armor Penetration: Percentage-based physical armor negation. It ignores a specific % of the target's total Armor. The absolute best stat for shredding heavily armored bosses!
  • Magic Lethality: Flat magic resistance negation. Subtracts a fixed amount of Magic Resistance from your target, allowing your magic attacks to hit harder.
  • Magic Penetration: Percentage-based magic resistance negation. It ignores a specific % of the target's total Magic Resistance, making it essential against magically fortified enemies.
💥 Criticals & Extra Damage (Click to expand)
  • Critical Chance: The percentage probability that your attacks (both melee and ranged) will land a devastating Critical Strike.
  • Critical Damage: The damage multiplier applied when you successfully land a crit. For instance, a 1.5x multiplier means your critical strikes deal 50% bonus damage.
  • Additional magic damage on-hit: Deals a fixed amount of extra magical damage with every successful strike. This damage is mitigated by the target's Magic Resistance.
  • Additional true damage on-hit: Deals a fixed amount of pure, unmitigated damage with every strike. True damage completely bypasses all Armor and Magic Resistance.
🩸 Sustain & Vitality (Click to expand)
  • Additional Health Regeneration: Grants passive health recovery over time, accurately measured and displayed in HP per second.
  • Heal and shields power: Amplifies your survivability by increasing the effectiveness of all incoming healing and applied shields by a specific percentage.
  • Omnivamp: The ultimate life-steal stat. It heals you for a percentage of all damage you deal to enemies, keeping you alive in the heat of battle!

✨ New Enchantments

Dungeons Essence introduces a massive variety of new enchantments, completely overhauling the combat experience. Whether you want to unleash devastating area-of-effect magic or become a rapid-firing archer, there is a build for you!

  • Harped: Fires a wide, fan-shaped spread of additional arrows with each shot.
  • Harpooned: Arrows ignore water resistance, traveling at full speed while submerged.
  • Hunter's Promise: Marks the target, forcing your tamed pets to focus their attacks on them.
  • Poison Trail: Fired arrows leave a trail of poison clouds behind them.
  • Ratchet Fire: Fires a devastating burst of arrows, but requires a cooldown period to recharge.
  • Reliable Ricochet: Fully charged arrows are guaranteed to bounce between multiple nearby enemies.
  • Ricochet: Arrows have a chance to bounce off the initial target and strike another nearby enemy.
  • Roll Charge: When you perform a roll, your next ranged attack within the timing window will automatically be fully charged.
  • Shadow Barb: Allows you to fire a few shots without breaking Shadow Form, perfect for stealthy attacks.
  • Shadow Shot: Defeating an enemy grants a chance to briefly enter Shadow Form (Invisibility).
  • Supercharge: Fully charged shots deal significantly more damage and travel with enough force to knock enemies back.
  • Tempo Theft: Steals a portion of a mob's movement speed and gives it to you for a few seconds.
  • Wild Rage: Hits have a chance to enrage the target, forcing it to attack other nearby monsters instead of you.
