Luck 🍀
Effectiveness defined in config.yml Luck got an overhaul with the plugin!
Each point of luck you have grants you 1 re-roll with most things related to RNG for a favorable outcome. For example, if you fail a 20% chance to critically hit, you get another 20% chance to do it again! The opposite, however, is also true. Where negative luck means if you succeed you get 1 re-roll in favor of a negative outcome.

For negative luck, the chance for success is (chanceluck ) For positive luck, the chance for success if (1 - (1 - chance)luck )
To see which stats are affected by luck, check the stats page (look for 🍀)
Due to how much effect it has on various parts of the game, Luck is one of the most powerful stats to get
Bleeding 🩸
Tick rates defined in config.yml
Bleeding is a status effect that may be inflicted. It has a Chance to inflict, Duration, and Tick Damage. When bleeding is inflicted it deals Tick Damage amount of damage every 40 ticks. Bleeding damage ignores armor.
When bleeding is inflicted while a target is already bleeding, the duration is refreshed and the tick rate speeds up by 5 ticks, up to 4 times. So if bleeding is inflicted 5 times in a short enough time, the victim will bleed twice as fast.
Parrying 🤺
Parrying is an active ability unlocked as one of the perks in the Light Weapons skill. It is activated by using right-click while holding a (light) weapon.
For a short time after activation, if you get hit by a melee or ranged attack you'll deflect this attack, take reduced damage, and debuff the enemy for having successfully parried their attack (unless ranged).
These debuffs by default include slowness, weakness, and reduced armor.
However, if you get hit shortly after said duration, you are debuffed instead.
Mob Stats 🧟♂️
Defined in mob_stats.yml
Radiant Damage Can be seen as "Smite" damage, though the Smite enchantment does not deal radiant damage. Deals 2x damage against undead and 1.5x damage to nether mobs, but 0x damage to everything else.
Necrotic Damage The "Wither" debuff now deals necrotic damage. Deals 1x damage against everything, except 0.5x damage to nether mobs and 0x damage to undead.
Scaling Spawned mobs scale with the level of the average of all surrounding players. They're given a level up to 5 levels away from the local average. Mobs gain increased stats based on their given level.

Damage 💥
Defined in config.yml
Damage taken is defined by the following formula
Where typeResistance is whatever your total resistance stat is versus the specific damage type, and trueResistance being your generic damage resistance stat. If this damage happens to be physical, the following multiplier is applied again:
Physical damage are all reduced by armor, but some sources may be more effective against armor than others. If a source has, for example, 50% armor efficiency that means you'll be taking damage from that source as if you were wearing half as much armor. Physical damage sources are:
Projectile
Falling blocks (anvil)
Bludgeoning (at 70% armor efficiency) ❗ Custom damage type
Melee Attacks
Sweeping Attacks
Explosions (at 70% armor efficiency)
Contact (cacti)
Falling
Lava (at 50% armor efficiency)
In simpler terms, every 15 armor the player has increases their effective HP by 100%.
Effective HP being the amount of raw damage you can take before death. If you have 10 hearts of health and have 10 armor, that means you can take 20 hearts of health in damage before dying. 20 armor would make that 30 health, 30 armor 40 health, etc. Each 15 armor is an extra HP bar worth of damage you can take.
Damage is further reduced by toughness, a flat 0.15 damage reduction for each point of toughness you have. That means that with 10 armor toughness, 4 damage is reduced to 2.5. That makes armor toughness especially effective against low damage hits, but rather ineffective against high damage hits.
Armor can be reduced by enemy armor penetration. This can be flat penetration or % penetration, flat penetration reducing your armor by a static amount and % penetration reducing your armor by a fraction of itself. 5 flat penetration would reduce your 10 armor to 5, and 10% penetration would reduce 10 armor to 9.
Armor cannot reduce damage taken to below 10% of the original damage taken, so there is an armor cap of 150 armor (ignoring toughness)
The damage you take after all those calculations is then further reduced by your aforementioned resistances.
