BlockVantage
by s0und
BlockVantage gives a short timed boost after a player blocks an attack successfully with a shield.
What it does
A successful block with a shield triggers a short set of status effects on the player. According to the Modrinth page, the reward is speed for two seconds, strength V and resistance V for three seconds each, applied after the block lands rather than as a constant bonus. The effect is tied to timing, so only blocks that connect produce it.
BlockVantage is built on Fabric and requires Fabric API. It is open source under the MIT License, and its source code is public. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Fabric files exist for 1.21, 1.21.1 and 1.21.2, with 1.21.2 as the latest release, published on 2025-04-29.
