EasyShieldBreak

Shields break faster under heavy hits, so a single strong blow can finish a shield that would otherwise last many fights. Durability loss depends on the force of each hit, which rewards timing and positioning over simply holding block. The change is meant to make shield combat less repetitive in encounters where a shield otherwise dominates the fight.

The mod is a lightweight client mod that targets both player-versus-player and player-versus-environment combat. It sits on top of vanilla and other mods without adding new items or screens, aiming for faster, smoother battles. Only the client needs it, so players can use it alone in single-player worlds or while joining servers that allow it.

Because the mod alters combat behavior, some multiplayer servers may treat it as unfair or unauthorized. Server rules can ban its use, so owners and players should check those rules before joining.
