Void Strike

Void Strike is a damage enchantment which can mark a target with the Voided effect. The next damage taken by that target is multiplied and consumes the effect.

Obtaining

Enchanting recipe

Usage

Each hit has a 25% chance to apply Voided. Melee attacks must be direct hits, while projectiles from Bows and Crossbows can apply it when they hit their target.

Voided starts with a 1.1 damage multiplier. Higher levels keep the effect active for longer and let its multiplier increase by 0.1 every 5 seconds.

| Level | Duration | 0-5 seconds | 5-10 seconds | 10-15 seconds | | —- | —- | —-: | —-: | —-: | —-: | | I | 5 seconds | 1.1x | - | - | | II | 10 seconds | 1.1x | 1.2x | - | | III | 15 seconds | 1.1x | 1.2x | 1.3x |

The next valid damage consumes Voided, even when it comes from another player, a mob or the environment. This means you can attack immediately for a reliable 1.1 multiplier or wait for a stronger hit at levels II and III.

Applying Voided again refreshes its duration without lowering a multiplier which has already increased. If the effect expires before the target takes damage, no bonus is dealt.

Damage types in the vsq:bypasses_voided tag do not consume or receive the multiplier.

Supported items

Void Strike can be applied to Swords, Axes, Spears, Tridents, Maces, Bows and Crossbows. It uses one Damage slot. Ranged weapons can activate it from either hand when they fire a projectile.
