Crit Chance

Crit Chance is the chance that a melee or bow hit is a critical hit. Critical hits get the extra damage from Crit Damage; normal hits don't.¹ Unlike in normal Minecraft, jumping doesn't make a hit critical.¹

Every player starts with 30% Crit Chance.¹ The Combat Skill adds 0.5% per level, +30% at level 60,² so the base value tops out at 60%. Items, pets and reforges add more on top (tables below).³

Example: with 60% Crit Chance and 200% Crit Damage, 60 hits in 100 deal 3× damage and 40 deal normal damage, so the average hit deals 0.6 × 3 + 0.4 × 1 = 2.2× a normal hit.
