About this project
What does Classic Sword Blocking add?
This mod adds the defensive mechanism from pre-1.9 versions, allowing new version players to experience this classic and useful feature. When the player is holding a sword, right-clicking will enable defense, blocking some damage including from bows and explosions. Defense can negate half of the damage inflicted on the player by an attack. Using a sword to defend at any time will not decrease the sword's durability.
