Zenith ADS Bridge

Zenith ADS Bridge is a lightweight Fabric compatibility layer for Zenith Attributes Renewed and Armor & damage scaling.

When both mods are installed, this bridge ensures that the following Zenith combat attributes are properly included in Armor & damage scaling's configurable damage calculations:

• Armor Pierce

• Armor Shred

• Protection Pierce

• Protection Shred

How It Works

Shred removes a percentage of the target's defense before flat Pierce is applied:

Effective Defense = max(0, Defense × (1 − Shred) − Pierce)

The resulting armor or protection value is then passed through Armor & damage scaling's existing configured formulas.

This means:

• Armor & damage scaling remains responsible for armor, toughness, protection, and player-damage calculations.

• Shred is applied before Pierce.

• Shred is capped at 100%.

• Excess Pierce never increases damage beyond the original hit.

• Armor Toughness continues to function according to the ADS configuration.

• Melee attacks use the attacker's attributes.

• Projectile attacks use the shooter's attributes.

• Environmental damage without a living attacker is unchanged.

• Attributes on both players and mobs are supported.

The bridge has no configuration file of its own.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1

• Fabric Loader

• Armor & damage scaling 1.20.1-3.5

• Zenith Attributes Renewed 1.0.3

The normal dependencies required by those projects are also required.

Installation

Install Zenith ADS Bridge in the mods folder alongside both required mods, then fully restart the game or server.

The mod must be installed on both the client and server when used in a multiplayer modpack.
