BalanceEx

The BalanceEx datapack is a custom predefined set of stat adjustments for the PlayerEx and RelicEx mods.

Issues with Default Settings

The standard settings of these mods create several imbalances. High evasion rate completely eliminates the possibility of ranged combat in PvP. Strength becomes an overpowered characteristic, while constitution is almost useless. Dexterity functions rather strangely.

Regarding relics, excessively high critical damage chance and lifesteal break the game balance if obtained. Meanwhile, most "immortal" tier relics turn out to be practically useless. This creates a situation where relics either break the game or require excessive grinding without the possibility of balancing through simple drop rate adjustments.

Solution

Fortunately, these mods have extensive customization capabilities, but this requires creating a datapack. BalanceEx is designed to save modpack developers time by eliminating the need to study the Data Attributes format and configure stats themselves.

Recommended compatibility with other mods: intelligence may seem like a weak characteristic, but it's designed to synergize with magic mods such as Spell Power, WizardEx, and the BalanceEx Magic Addon.

Recommended Configuration Changes

(The PlayerEx configuration file will likely need to be deleted and recreated before editing)

• In PlayerEx, set the level formula to exponential (for example: "1+0.05*x^2"). You can also set a level cap - additional information is available on the PlayerEx wiki
• In RelicEx, set mobDropIsTomeChance to 0 and chestsHaveTomeChance to 0. It's also recommended to reduce the default mobsDropLootChance to 2, or even to 1 for harder gameplay or if your pack has many luck sources
