Sword Blocking Mechanics is a Minecraft mod that brings back the classic ability to block with any sword, just like in the 1.7 and 1.8 combat era. By simply right clicking while holding a sword, you automatically reduce half of all incoming damage without needing a bulky shield. This makes close combat much smoother and more intuitive, especially when you want to keep your offhand free for torches or other tools.
On top of the basic block feature, the mod adds a customizable parry system that works in the first half second after you start blocking. During that window, you block all damage just like a shield, giving you a powerful counter timing in fights. You can still use a shield if you prefer by holding it in your offhand, and shields will always take priority over sword blocking. With a full range of settings to tweak block timing and damage reduction, Sword Blocking Mechanics fits any play style and brings fresh depth to your Minecraft battles.
