Here are the different types of damage caps this mod offers:

Flat Capped Mobs: Mobs listed here wont take more damage than the value defined in Flat Damage Limit per hit.

Percent Capped Mobs: Mobs listed here wont take more damage than the % of their total health defined in Max Health Percentage.

Min Hit Mobs: Mobs listed here will have to be hit the number of times defined in Min Hits Requiered before they can die.

Total Hit Mobs Flat: Mobs listed here wont take more damage than the value defined in Total Hits Flat Damage Limit the number of times defined in Total Hits Flat Requiered

Total Hit Mobs Percentage: Mobs listed here wont take more damage than the % of their health defined in Total Hits Percentage Limit the number of times defined in **Total Hits Percentage Requiered

Cap Indicator:** Whenever any of the damage caps above is hit, a cap indicator texture will show up above the entities head to the left side.

Adaptation: This damage cap causes mobs to adapt to specific damage types and items with each hit. You can configure the adaptation speed per hit, the maximum damage reduction (from 1% to 100%), and the duration of the adaptation. This encourages weapon variety by preventing players from relying on a single strategy. Players are notified of the adaptation via specific visual particles and sound cues.

1. Adaptation buildup: smoke particles will come towards the entity and a metallic sound will play which's pitch gets higher as the adaptation reaches it's maximum.

2. Adaptation max: large smoke particles will come from the entity and a heavier metallic sound will play.

3. Adaptation reset: campfire particles will come from the entity and a extinguishing sound will play.

 
Adaptation cap indicators:

Question mark shield: shows up when an entity has an adaptation active, but the player is not holding the item the entity is adapted to.

Exclamation mark shield: shows up when the player is holding an item that the entity is adapting to. The higher the adaptation the red-ish the texture gets. If the player hits the entity when it has reached it's 100% in adaptation, it'll play a shake animation.

Utility settings:

Minimum Damage To Count: The minimum damage that has to be dealt for the minimum hits to start the countdown (to avoid the minimum and total hits features from being cheesed by simply throwing snowballs "x" number of times).

Threshold Mobs: Mobs listed here will activate their damage caps when they've fell below the threshhold of their hp defined in Health Threshold Percentage.

Bypass Items: Items listed here completely ignore all damage caps

Bypass Damage Types: Damage Types listed here completely ignore all damage caps

Percent Capped Mobs: Mobs listed here won't take more damage than the % of their total health defined in Max Health Percentage.

Min Hit Mobs: Mobs listed here will need to be hit the number of times defined in Min Hits Required before they can die. While the cap is active, each hit won't deal more than 50% of the mob's current health (see Global Min Hits Mode to change this behavior).

Total Hit Mobs Percentage: Mobs listed here won't take more damage than the % of their health defined in Total Hits Percentage Limit the number of times defined in Total Hits Percentage Required.

Cap Indicator: Whenever any of the damage caps above is hit, a cap indicator texture will show up next to the entity's head (it appears to the right by default, and its position can be moved with the UI settings).

You can configure the adaptation speed per hit, the maximum damage reduction (from 1% to 100%), and the duration of the adaptation.

Minimum Damage To Count: The minimum damage that has to be dealt for the minimum and total hits features to start their countdown (to avoid these features from being cheesed by simply throwing snowballs "x" number of times).

Threshold Mobs: Mobs listed here will activate their damage caps once they've fallen below the threshold of their hp defined in Health Threshold Percentage.

Bypass Items: Items listed here completely ignore all damage caps.

Bypass Damage Types: Damage Types listed here completely ignore all damage caps.
