Minecraft Damage Quiz

Each round shows your health, your armor, your potion effects and one hit. The hit can be a sword, an axe, a mace smash, an arrow, a fall, lava, the dragon's breath, a ravager, a warden or an explosion. You guess if you survive.

Then the game shows the damage step by step: the raw damage, the armor, the Resistance effect, the protection enchantments and the absorption hearts. You see how many hearts you have left.

The numbers are the numbers of Minecraft Java Edition 1.21 and later, from the Minecraft Wiki. The game does the damage math on the server.

How to play

• Read your state on the left: the red hearts, the gold absorption hearts, the armor points, each armor piece with its enchantment, and your effects.
• Read the hit on the right: the weapon or the danger, its enchantments, and the difficulty when a mob attacks.
• Press Survive or Die.
• The reveal shows each step of the damage and your hearts after the hit. Then press Next.
• A run has 10 rounds. Your score is the number of correct guesses.
• An arrow from a fully drawn bow does a random damage. The reveal shows the lowest and the highest value. The game picks your health so that the answer is the same at both ends.
• The timer counts up. Give up logs your score as it stands.
• The game saves your progress. You can close the page and continue within one hour.

What counts in this quiz

• Armor reduces most damage. The reduction depends on the armor points, the toughness and the size of the hit, up to 80%.
• Protection takes 4% off for each level. Fire Protection, Blast Protection and Projectile Protection take 8% off for each level against their own damage. Feather Falling takes 12% off for each level against fall damage. All together, the enchantments take 80% off at most.
• Resistance takes 20% off for each level. Turtle Master gives Resistance III, the strong potion Resistance IV.
• A golden apple gives 2 gold hearts. An enchanted golden apple gives 8 gold hearts, Resistance I and Fire Resistance.
• The hits: swords, axes and the trident with Sharpness and critical hits; the mace smash attack; critical arrows with Power; falls; a shulker bullet and the fall after its levitation; lava; the dragon's breath; the ravager; the warden's attack and its sonic boom; creepers and TNT.
• Mob attacks and creepers change with the difficulty. Every TNT round is on Normal.

What's not included, and why

• Armor durability, Thorns and shields are not part of the game.
• The burn after lava is not part of the game: you jump into water after the lava.
• Bedrock Edition uses some different numbers. The game uses Java Edition.

Good to know

• Armor does not reduce fall damage. Only Feather Falling, Protection and Resistance do.
• The warden's sonic boom ignores armor and every enchantment. Only Resistance reduces it.
• A fall of 23 blocks takes exactly 20 health, a full health bar, from a player with no protection.
• Slow Falling stops all fall damage, and Fire Resistance stops all lava damage.
• A critical hit multiplies the weapon damage by 1.5. The Sharpness bonus comes after the multiplier.
