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 such as pickaxes, shovels, etc. Generic damage is reduced based on the armor's average protection to all three damage types.

Environmental

Environmental Damage Examples: Fire, Falling, Drowning, Lava, Suffocation, Falling Blocks, Explosion, etc.
