EF-Protectparry
EF-Protectparry, a Forge addon for Epic Fight, lets a successful parry trigger buffs for the player and debuffs for the enemy.
What it does
The mod provides a parrying skill that blocks nearly all damage. A successful parry can grant the player buff effects and inflict debuff effects on the attacker. By default the player receives Haste II, Regeneration, Slowness, Mining Fatigue and other listed potions, and the enemy receives effects as well. Every effect, its level and its duration can be changed in a configuration file.
The skill is an addon module for Epic Fight, so Epic Fight is required and must be installed next to EF-Protectparry. Modpacks often include many modded monsters with magical attacks that a regular shield cannot block, and this skill is meant to cover that gap. The default setting blocks everything except damage types placed on a blacklist.
The mod is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with source code available publicly.
Key features
Parry-based buffs
A successful parry grants the player potion effects set in the configuration file.
Debuffs on enemies
A successful parry can also apply potion effects to the attacker, with type, level and duration configurable.
Configurable timing and costs
The parry window duration, the stamina penalty for successful and failed parries, and the knockback applied by source-less damage can all be adjusted.
Blocking by damage type
By default the skill blocks all damage types except those on a blacklist, which can be edited.

What the author says
This is an addon module for the Epic fight. The author enjoys playing Epic Fight and is particularly fond of parrying. However, in modpacks, I often encountered many modded monsters whose magical attacks couldn’t be blocked at all, which led them to create this mod.
