AttributeFix in FTB Skies 2

Same as in the All the Mods 10 2.12 guide

AttributeFix is a behind-the-scenes fix mod. Minecraft uses an attribute system for important calculations such as armor values, attack damage and the maximum health of a mob, and that system also puts caps on how high any of those values can go.^[1]

You usually won't notice those caps, but plenty of mods run into them without realizing it. AttributeFix raises the caps significantly so those mods can work the way their authors intended. That's why its tagline is that it fixes many mods!^[1]

Attributes it uncaps

• Max Health^[1]
• Follow Range^[1]
• Knockback Resistance^[1]
• Movement Speed^[1]
• Attack Damage^[1]
• Attack Speed^[1]
• Armor^[1]
• Armor Toughness^[1]
• Luck^[1]

Who it's for

This one is really for everyone playing the pack, because it helps other mods behave correctly. If you're stacking armor, boosting your health or building a big damage setup with gear from other mods, AttributeFix is what keeps those high values from being quietly cut off by vanilla's limits.^[1]

This pack ships AttributeFix version 21.1.2 for NeoForge 1.21.1, and it has been part of the pack since its early releases.^[2]

Unverified The sources don't show whether AttributeFix adds any items, recipes or quests, and they don't give the exact cap values the pack uses, so those details aren't covered here.

Good news: there's nothing you need to craft to get started with AttributeFix. It's a fixer mod that works in the background. It doesn't add a first item to build or a progression step to follow.^[1]

Minecraft handles important calculations through an attribute system, covering everything from armor values to attack damage to a mob's maximum health. That system also has caps that limit how high any value can go. Many mods are unknowingly affected by those caps, and AttributeFix significantly raises them so those mods can work as they were intended.^[1]

Attributes it affects

• Max Health^[1]
• Follow Range^[1]
• Knockback Resistance^[1]
• Movement Speed^[1]
• Attack Damage^[1]
• Attack Speed^[1]
• Armor^[1]
• Armor Toughness^[1]
• Luck^[1]

In practice, this means gear, effects and mobs from other mods in the pack that push these stats high aren't held back by the vanilla limits.^[1]

Unverified I couldn't confirm any in-pack recipes, quests, items or config values for AttributeFix, so there are no recipe blocks or setup steps in this section. The exact new cap values used in this pack are also unverified.

If you came here looking for machines, multiblocks or pipes, AttributeFix doesn't have any. It's a behind-the-scenes fix mod with no items or blocks for you to build. What it does is quietly remove limits in one of Minecraft's core systems so that lots of other mods can work properly.^[1]

The attribute system

Minecraft uses an attribute system to handle important calculations. It covers everything from armor values, to attack damage, to the maximum health of a mob. Whenever gear, effects or mods change a stat like that, it goes through this system.^[1]

The problem: attribute caps

The attribute system also comes with caps that limit how high any value can go. You usually won't notice them, but many mods are affected by them without knowing it. For example, a mod might try to push a stat past the cap and end up weaker than its designer intended.^[1]

What AttributeFix changes

AttributeFix raises these caps a lot, so the mods that change attributes behave the way their authors meant them to. You don't need to do anything to use it. It just works in the background.^[1]

These are the attributes the mod's project page lists as affected:^[1]

• Max Health^[1]
• Follow Range^[1]
• Knockback Resistance^[1]
• Movement Speed^[1]
• Attack Damage^[1]
• Attack Speed^[1]
• Armor^[1]
• Armor Toughness^[1]
• Luck^[1]

Unverified The exact new cap values and whether they can be adjusted in this pack could not be confirmed. No config files for this mod are included in the pack, and the available source does not list specific numbers.

AttributeFix is configured with a small JSON file per attribute. Each file has the same options: a lowest allowed value, a highest allowed value, and a switch that decides whether the range is modified at all. The pack ships files for Apothic Attributes, Apothic Enchanting and Ars Nouveau attributes.^[3][4][5]

Here's the key point: in every file shown in the sources, the pack's value is identical to the mod default. The pack has not changed any of these ranges. The switch modify_range.value is false, and the same is true for the other files shown. By the option's own description, that means the range is not modified.^{[3][4][6][7][8][9]}

Ranges worth knowing

• Crit damage runs from 1 to 100 (min.value and max.value).^[7]
• Cooldown reduction runs from -10 to 0.95 (min.value and max.value).^[10]
• Arrow damage tops out at 10 (max.value), as do crit chance, life steal and mining speed.^{[11][12][13][14]}
• Dodge chance runs from 0 (min.value) to 1 (max.value).^[15]
• Max Eterna for Apothic Enchanting is capped at 100 (max.value).^[4]
• Armor pierce, cold damage, fire damage and healing received all cap at 1,000, while protection pierce caps at 34 (max.value).^{[3][16][17][18][19]}
• Ars Nouveau max mana caps at 10,000 (max.value) and mana regen at 2,000 (max.value).^[20][21]
• The per-school mana discount perks (abjuration, air, conjuration, earth, elemental, fire, manipulation, necromancy and water) all run from -1,000,000 to 1. The general mana discount runs from -1,000,000 to 1,000,000.^{[8][9][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]}

FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 ships with AttributeFix 21.1.3. The mod has been in the pack since FTB Skies 2 1.0.1 or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of the modpack.^[30]

Recent mod releases

• 21.1.3 (the version in this pack): updates the build dependencies. It's a behind-the-scenes maintenance release, so you won't see anything different in play.^[30][31]
• 21.1.2: disables the logo blur.^[32]

Neither of these changelogs lists any gameplay changes, so there's nothing you need to relearn when you update between them.^[31][32]

Unverified No pack changelog entries for AttributeFix were available, so any changes the pack itself made to this mod across releases are unverified.
