"You don't know how armor works"
uh, yeah i do >:(
*reaches the damage reduction formula*
okay no i don't ;-;

[tntsuperslayer_ttv]

Formula:
Damage reduction = min(20,
max(armorPoints / 5, armorPoints - 4 x damage / min(toughness, 20) + 8)) /
25

Components:
1. armorPoints: Refers to the total amount of armor a player or entity has.

2. damage: The incoming damage that the player is receiving.

3. toughness: Usually a value that helps resist higher levels of damage.
It can be capped at 20 (hence the min(toughness, 20) part).

Breaking Down the Formula:
1. armorPoints / 5: This divides the armor points by 5, setting a lower bound for damage reduction.

2. 4 x damage / min(toughness, 20):
This calculates the influence of incoming damage and toughness on the armor's effectiveness.

3. armorPoints - (4 x damage / min(toughness, 20)) + 8: Adjusts armor points by subtracting the effect of the incoming damage, but boosts it with 8 to compensate.

4. max(armorPoints / 5, armorPoints - 4 x damage / min(toughness, 20) +
8): Chooses the higher value between the simple armor reduction and the adjusted formula to avoid negative or very low reduction values.

5. min(20, ...): Caps the result at 20 for a maximum of 80% damage
reduction (since 20 / 25 = 0.8).

6. / 25: Divides by 25 to convert the result into a percentage-based
reduction (since 20 / 25 = 0.8).

Ah yes, my favourite type of Armour :- " LEATHERETTE " !!!

[andoisgoated]

Ahhhh, September 7th, 2024, my favorite video

[KyrieDomanais]

Goofy ahh "Leatherite armor"

[Kokichus]

i wish protection was included in the video, it is the most busted enchant in the game making you almost immortal to anything that isnt a charged creeper explosion

[nickcampbell]

I generally know how armor works. I looked it up on the wiki at some point.

I also realize that armor bars are a good enough abstraction for most players except for when it comes to diamond vs. neatherite.
At that point, it would become unclear why you would go through the trouble for what appears to be the same protection.

September 7, 2024 new type of armor:leatherite

[templin]

I remember there used to be this argument that netherite armor was pointless since it gave the same armor, this puts that argument in the dirt.

[notfine]

Bro that's exactly how everyone thought armor worked. The better the armor the more damage reduction

[nt_UN_Owen]

Ngl, I originally thought that armor toughness is the armor's armor. Like how it loses less durability per damage taken.

[alinouzri]

"ur only protected by 69% of damge" nice number

[Divinityffical]

So basically better armor protects you more ._.

[marvintg]

I basically studied the minecraft damage formula for a modded server to come up with a D&D-esque "Armor Class" in minecraft. The number you got showed how much incoming damage was required for the player to receive 1 point of damage. This approach gave neat numbers between 1 (no armor) and 40 (max modded armor). I still have all the spreadsheets.

When with a sword it only protects you from the sword by... Nice btw

[TrainOfImagination]

TYSM this was really useful to find out why people with custom items in my adventure map (Netherite armour with NBT data to increase attack damage) were surviving 6 hits from the boss whereas the people with the normal gear (diamond armour) were surviving only 5.

[Isque-jv]

That formula makes 11th grade math look easy

[awesomeduck]

After playing lots of mods where armor toughness is showed on a lot of sets its nice to finally know what it means
