Overview

Minecraft Dungeons 2 is a fantastic sequel to the first, however, one thing that didn't make it into the game for some reason, is gear stats. However, these are in the files of the game, and thanks to No-Vermicelli-461 on Reddit, these have been explained.

TL;DR - Weapons have real damage, and every weapon has set damage for each hit of the combo, alongside reach and stagger. For example, a Sword does 14/16/22 per combo, and Double Daggers do 6/6/9. Armor does NOT have health or defense stats, which is why HP does not change when you swap armor.

Armor in Minecraft Dungeons 2 is simply the Item Power + its effects. Light/Medium/Heavy is purely a label. Rarity also does NOT affect stats, only the effects and values of those effects. Uniques are also not guaranteed to be better, most Uniques have identical base stats as the normal version, and some are even weaker (eg. Unique Gauntlets do about 40% less damage).

Basically, weapon types set the base damage, Item Power scales it, and the effects added affect the rest. The exact Item Power formula is in the code of the game instead of the data files.

The reddit post can be found here.

Formulas

All numbers are base values from the games data. In game, Damage is scaled by the Base Damage, your Item Power, and by Enchantments and Effects. These tables should be used to compare items and not as exact damage.

Item Power matters most, Damage scales with Gear Power compared with the area, up to a cap of 1.75x.
Armor has no hidden defense stat, and only has it's Item Power plus Effects and Enchantments. Light, Medium, and Heavy armor makes no difference.
"Very Low" means you are below 80% of recommended Power.
Drops can roll up to 9 Power Levels above your current Gear Level, with 0-4 different Effects possible to roll on them.
Almost every single melee weapon deals 30% splash damage to enemies next to your target, the Mob Mallet deals 60%.
Uniques usually have the same base stats as the normal version, and their uniqueness comes from the special effect. Exceptions are listed in the tables below.

Melee Weapons

Combo is the damage of each hit in the combo, with the Total equaling the whole combo. Reach is the attack range, where bigger means it hits farther.
