Generic
Damage that is dealt by players or mobs that are not listed in any of the above categories is considered generic damage. This includes damage dealt by players wielding tools that don't otherwise have a damage type assigned to them like Prospector's Picks. Generic damage is reduced based on the armor's average protection to all three damage types.
Environmental
All damage caused to the player from external forces not included in the list above can be considered environmental damage. Examples of environmental damage include: Fire, Falling, Drowning, Lava, Suffocation, Falling Blocks, Explosion, etc.
Explosion
Explosion is a type of environmental damage and is caused by Creepers and Powder Kegs. Explosion damage scales with proximity, meaning the closer the player is to the source, the more damage that will be dealt to the player and armor.
