Elemental Combat

In TickMC, combat is based around an elemental damage system. There are two types of damage in this server:

• Normal damage - This is vanilla Minecraft damage. We aim to remove all sources of this damage, but it is still present in some cases.
• Elemental damage - This is the main type of damage in TickMC.

Damage events

Individual damage events can have multiple elements. The damage for each element is individually calculated, and then added together to get the final damage. Elemental damage events cause damage indicators to be displayed on the screen. These indicators are different for each element, and are displayed in the color of the element.

In the above damage, 8 Earth damage and 2 Ice damage was dealt.

Critical hits result in a larger damage indicator (Note that crit calculation occurs after adding all elemental damage together).

Elements

Each of the elements have their own focus and playstyle. However, take note that these are just guidelines, and items can technically have any element regardless of their playstyle. Elements are unrestricted, meaning that you can use any element you want - there is no class system.

Earth

Earth focuses on defense and tanking. It has the highest health and defense of all elements, but has low damage and speed.

Ender

Ender focuses on mobility, providing high amounts of speed, but low amounts of other stats.

Fire

Fire focuses on damage over time.

Ice

Ice focuses on debuffing enemies, such as decreasing their damage.

Light

Light is an all-rounder, with no specific strengths or weaknesses.

Physical

Physical focuses on dealing high amounts of damage to singular targets.

Shadow

Shadow focuses on dealing high amounts of damage to multiple targets.

Thunder

Thunder focuses on buffing allies, such as increasing their damage.

Water

Water focuses on healing and support, similar to Earth.

Wind

Wind focuses on decreasing enemy mobility, such as by knocking them back.
