Introducing Guarding!
Guarding is a fabric mod that intends on adding new features to the shield in a vanilla styled way.
What does Guarding include?
Parrying Mechanic:
Time your shield at just the right time and you can perform a parry! This knocks the enemy back slightly, but with the new enchantments added, this can be further extended to perform other useful tricks!
Faster Shields:
Shields no longer have an obnoxious delay and are as responsive as Bedrock/Combat Test, this will compliment parries.
Shield Hugging Punishment
Tired of someone who relies on their shield too often, shields will now be disabled once the use time has reached past 10 seconds, this is an optional feature and can be disabled.
Shield Enchantments
- Pummelling: Sends knockback to attacker on successful parry, with knockback level depending on enchantment level. (Max: 3)
- Barbed: Deals damage to attacker on successful parry. (Max: 1)
New Shield Type: Netherite Shield
A quality of life item that makes shields valuable in late game, this is still experimental and I'm looking for feedback, be sure to give some on the discord.
Configure to your hearts content!
This mod is highly configurable, recommended presets can be found on the wiki.
