About this project
What does Shield Crouch add?
Shield Crouch
Allows shielding on crouch, yupyup.
But also contains small optional miscellaneous additions which don't fit in my other mods
- Impedes the usual right click interaction with the shield and replaces it with an automatic activation upon crouching
- Doesn't slow you down even more when shielding, you keep your crouching walk speed
- Also crouching in water whilst holding a shield will activate it
- Should be able to be enabled/disabled per client (the config on the server shouldn't apply it to connecting clients)
Miscellaneous Features (off by default):
- Lethal_Poison: makes vanilla poison lethal by removing the 1 hp check to not kill the player
