Not really sure what I am missing there, it looks pretty simple but monsters like balron are still doing 50+ damage on naked players. Im guessing damage is generated somewhere else ? (Baseweapons maybe?)

thanks for your highlightment

 public virtual void AlterMeleeDamageTo(Mobile to, ref int damage)
        {
            
            int mindamage = 5;
            int maxdamage = 35;
            
            // Damage Limit from monsters to Players//
            if(IsMonster && to is PlayerMobile)
            {
            if (damage <= 5)
            {
            damage = (int)mindamage;
            }
            else if (damage >= 35)
            {
            damage = (int)maxdamage;
            }
            }

Add an override to the balron like this:

        public override void AlterMeleeDamageTo(Mobile to, ref int damage)
        {
            base.AlterMeleeDamageTo(to, ref damage);
            
            if (damage > 50)
                damage = 50;
        }

Your code is changing only it's Min/Max hit damage like you would change on a weapon. It does not really mean it can do a minimum of 5 damage and a maximum of 35. That is before any modifiers like their skills and stats are taken into account.

Adding this to every single creature sounds pretty awful tho

You're not adding it to every single creature, you're overriding in Balron.cs not adding to the virtual in BaseCreature.cs which makes it for balrons only.

**Edit**
You'll want to add a PlayerMobile check to make sure it only decreases damage for players only and not their pets. Such as:

        public override void AlterMeleeDamageTo(Mobile to, ref int damage)
        {
            base.AlterMeleeDamageTo(to, ref damage);

            if (to is PlayerMobile && damage > 50)
                damage = 50;
        }
