Attributer is a Vintage Story mod by Yew. Attributer lets item attributes change stats and behavior in Vintage Story. It is a utility patch and has no effect without supported attributes or another mod.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod is mainly useful for mod developers and custom content that needs item-specific stats. Players may need it as a dependency for mods that assign dynamic attributes to items.
What Attributer adds
Attributer changes how supported item properties are read: when an item has its own attribute, that value can take priority over the parent object’s default. This makes it possible to give otherwise identical items different attack power, protection, temperature limits, or other behavior.
The patch exposes support for attributes such as protection modifiers, high-damage-tier resistance, flat damage reduction, relative protection, healing effectiveness, ranged weapon accuracy and speed, impact break chance, required anvil tier, and workable temperature. Some of these properties may already be available through the game API, so the mod is most relevant where a consuming mod expects Attributer’s patch.
Two tier-based damage reduction settings use nested tree attributes rather than ordinary arrays. This is a technical workaround for API limitations and allows values for separate tiers to be stored on the item.
As a standalone utility, Attributer only becomes useful when another system or command writes supported attributes to an item. It is therefore a dependency-style tool rather than a content mod with its own blocks, items, or interface.
