Survival Balance System

Applies to Equivalent Legacy 1.1.0+ for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge).

The [balance] section of server.toml controls the survival balance system added by Equivalent Legacy. It is enabled by default and gives server admins and modpack makers fine control over how generous the mod is.

Every key below also has a legacy value: the behaviour used when balance.enabled = false. That column lets you predict what the mod does when the whole system is switched off.

Master. balance.enabled is the switch for the entire system. The other two keys are global modifiers: balance.effectEmcMultiplier scales the EMC cost of every item effect the system covers (repair, heal, feed and the SWRG shield), and balance.dimensionBlacklist stops those item abilities from working in the listed dimensions.

Key Default Range What it does Legacy
balance.enabled true on/off Master switch for the whole survival balance system. off
balance.effectEmcMultiplier 1.0 0.0-100.0 Multiplies the EMC cost of every covered item effect. 1.0
balance.dimensionBlacklist empty list of dimension ids Covered item abilities do nothing in these dimensions, e.g. minecraft:the_nether. empty

Repair. The Talisman of Repair can be limited so that it charges EMC for every point of durability it restores, and it can be told which containers and slots to search.

Key Default Range What it does Legacy
balance.repair.enabled true on/off Lets the Talisman of Repair repair items. on
balance.repair.emcPerRepair 4 0-Long.MAX EMC charged per point of durability repaired; 0 is free. 0 (free)
balance.repair.includeCurios true on/off Also repairs items equipped in Curios/Regalia slots. on
balance.repair.includeAlchStorage true on/off Also repairs items inside alchemical bags and chests. on

Auto survival. These options govern the automatic heal and feed given by the Body, Soul and Life Stones and by the Gem Helmet and Gem Chestplate. emcPerHeal and emcPerFeed are charged once per activation, healAmount and feedAmount set how much one activation restores, and requireCurio forces the items to be equipped in a Regalia slot to work.

Key Default Range What it does Legacy
balance.autoSurvival.enabled true on/off Enables automatic healing and feeding. on
balance.autoSurvival.emcPerHeal 256 0-Long.MAX EMC charged for each automatic heal. 64
balance.autoSurvival.emcPerFeed 256 0-Long.MAX EMC charged for each automatic feed. 64
balance.autoSurvival.healAmount 1.0 0.0-20.0 Health restored by each automatic heal. 2.0
balance.autoSurvival.feedAmount 1 0-20 Food restored by each automatic feed. 2
balance.autoSurvival.requireCurio true on/off Auto survival items (and the Repair Talisman) only work from a Regalia slot. off

Gem Armor, fire, fluids and SWRG. Gem Armor keeps its special abilities; gemArmor.noFall cancels fall damage on the Gem Boots and speedBonus sets the movement bonus. Fire immunity and walking on fluids are simple on/off switches. The Swiftwolf's Rending Gale has its own EMC drain and repel radius.

Key Default Range What it does Legacy
balance.gemArmor.enabled true on/off Enables the Gem Armor special abilities. on
balance.gemArmor.noFall false on/off Gem Boots cancel fall damage. on
balance.gemArmor.speedBonus 0.5 0.0-2.0 Movement speed bonus granted by the Gem Boots. 1.0
balance.fireImmunity.enabled true on/off Fire immunity from Equivalent Legacy items and armor. on
balance.walkOnFluids.enabled true on/off Walking on fluids from Equivalent Legacy items and armor. on
balance.swrg.enabled true on/off Enables the Swiftwolf's Rending Gale abilities. on
balance.swrg.emcPerTick 1.0 0.0-100.0 EMC drained per tick while the SWRG shield is active. 0.32
balance.swrg.repelRadius 3.0 0.0-32.0 Radius in blocks the shield repels entities. 5.0

Armor. reductionMultiplier scales the damage reduction of a full set, absorbMultiplier scales the maximum absorb of each piece, and durabilityLoss makes the armor wear out like ordinary gear.

Key Default Range What it does Legacy
balance.armor.reductionMultiplier 0.7 0.0-1.0 Scales the damage reduction granted by a full set of armor. 1.0
balance.armor.absorbMultiplier 1.0 0.0-10.0 Scales the maximum absorb per armor piece. 1.0
balance.armor.durabilityLoss false on/off If on, Equivalent Legacy armor takes durability damage. off

Tools and combat. Tools can have infinite durability, a limit on vein mining and a multiplier on the radius of dig, shear, till and strip actions. Combat adds the Red Katar death aura, the extra armor-piercing hit and AOE attacks.

Key Default Range What it does Legacy
balance.tools.infiniteDurability true on/off Equivalent Legacy tools have infinite durability. on
balance.tools.veinMineMaxBlocks 64 0-1000 Maximum blocks vein mining may break at once. 250
balance.tools.aoeRadiusMultiplier 0.5 0.0-1.0 Scales the radius and depth of dig, shear, till and strip actions. 1.0
balance.combat.katarEnabled true on/off Enables the Red Katar death aura mode. on
balance.combat.armorPiercing false on/off If off, the extra armor-ignoring hit deals normal damage instead. on
balance.combat.attackAoe true on/off Enables AOE attacks for Equivalent Legacy weapons. on

EMC economy. These keys scale EMC generation, make condensers more expensive, restrict collectors to sunlight, put a floor under Entropy Sink efficiency, cap the Stellar Condenser and change the ore-doubling chance of the matter furnaces. See Collectors and Relays, Condensers, Entropy Sinks, Stellar Condenser and Matter Furnaces.

Key Default Range What it does Legacy
balance.emc.enabled true on/off Enables the EMC generation and condenser cost options. on
balance.emc.generationMultiplier 0.25 0.0-100.0 Scales EMC generated by collectors and other generators. 1.0
balance.emc.condenserCostMultiplier 2.0 1.0-100.0 Scales the EMC cost of condenser operations. 1.0
balance.collectors.sunOnly true on/off Collectors only generate EMC when they can see the sun. off
balance.entropySinks.efficiencyFloor 0.05 0.0-1.0 Minimum efficiency of an Entropy Sink; 0 disables the floor. 0.0
balance.stellarCondenser.softCapPerMinute 512 0-2147483647 Maximum EMC the Stellar Condenser may produce per minute. unlimited
balance.matterFurnaces.dmDoubleOreChance 0.25 0.0-1.0 Chance for the Dark Matter Furnace to double ore output. 0.5
balance.matterFurnaces.rmDoubleOreChance 0.0 0.0-1.0 Chance for the Red Matter Furnace to double ore output. 1.0
