Sword Block 1.8- ViaVersion

Problem
Blockhitting is not working in 1.8 versions when using ViaVersion. When you block your sword, the damage you take is not but in half like it should be. This technically isn't a bug because 1.8 is not a tested version
Proposed solution
Make it so that people on the versions 1.8 and 1.7 may take 1/2 of the damage taken when blocking to allow 1.7-1.8 players pvp with 1.9+ players.
I think that it may be happening because when you hold right click, it only gives you a shield and your client blocks. If you made it so that your movement speed and damage reduced when holding right click, rather than giving you a shield, this could work.
What version of Bukkit is the server actually running? And what version of OCM?
It is a 1.16.3 bukkit server using the latest version of OCM.
This is evidently something that ViaVersion is doing because OCM sets the damage proportional to the original damage. I believe we have had some similar bug reports but I don't see what OCM could do about it.

While blocking in 1.8 whilst viewing in 1.16 (With viarewind ofc) the shield of the 1.8 players appears for a second then disappears, this applies also when right-click is held with the sword. A video of this happening can be seen here https://youtu.be/GQ_sqRN6w8Q
