Shield and Parry

Important note: This mod will no longer be updated on Curseforge, for further additions and patches you can find this project on Modrinth

Shield ‘n Parry Mod

This mod makes combat require a higher amount of skill while still letting new pvp-ers have a chance. Learn to parry attacks, bash with your shield, and reflect projectiles.

So, What’s Actually New?

1. Weapon Parrying

Press R (configurable) with a weapon just before an attack hits you.

• Perfect timing blocks damage and staggers the attacker
• Weapon matters: Faster weapons = tighter timing windows, faster cooldown recharge
• Feels badass: Screen effects, sounds, and knockback when you nail it
• Fail? You get slowed down briefly. Practice makes perfect.

2. Shield Bashing

Put up your shield, then hold the parry key.

• Charge forward and knock enemies back
• The longer you hold, the harder the impact
• Applies slowness to anything you hit
• Works with any shield (vanilla or modded)

3. Projectile Reflection

Time a parry right as an arrow or fireball reaches you.

• Deflects it back at the shooter
• Gains extra power on the return trip
• Works with most modded projectiles automatically
• Extremely satisfying (and extremely hard) when you reflect a skeleton’s own arrows

AND YES YOU CAN PARRY FALL DAMAGE!!!

Extra Stuff & Compatibility

• Three new enchantments:
  • Parry Recovery (less cooldown)
  • Parry Window (easier timing)
  • Guarding Lunge (stronger bashes)
• Special compatibility with CombatRoll mod: Successful parries refill your dodge charges
• Fully configurable: Turn features on/off, blacklist certain attacks
• No performance hit: Efficient code that doesn’t lag your game
• COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE FUNCTIONALLY with Tactical Shield Overhaul!!!

You are allowed to use this in modpacks, make videos about it, or add any new compat addons to it.
