About
Improved Damage Framework overhauls Minecraft’s combat and equipment by replacing its conventional damage and health handling with a system built around RPG-style attributes. Its seven damage types are Physical, Fire, Water, Lightning, Magic, Dark, and Holy, each with corresponding damage and defence attributes; vanilla attack damage and armor are incorporated as Physical damage and defence. Combat also accounts for Force and Weight, which shape damage and knockback according to the attack and target, while Weight makes heavily equipped players use hunger faster. Weapons and targets use Slash, Pierce, and Strike damage classes, with class multipliers that make an attack more or less effective against different entities. Additional attributes include critical-hit chance and damage, lifesteal, evasion, armor penetration, and projectile accuracy, adding options for both attackers and defenders. Mob health bars and damage indicators make combat outcomes visible, and enchantment tooltip colours distinguish lower-level enchantments from those near or at their maximum level. The framework supplies default configurations for vanilla equipment and mobs, and supports configurable attributes for other modded gear and entities; built-in integrations include Legendary Tooltips, Tetra, and Better Combat.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.19.2.
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 13 files in your config folder.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.1 latest file. It is not for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about it. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.19.2.
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of its one file, for Minecraft 1.19.2. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and sounds and found none.
We have not read its changelogs and code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
