Fix shield

by fufuWka

Fix shield removes the short delay that normally passes before a shield starts blocking after a right-click in Minecraft combat.

What it does

In vanilla Minecraft, a shield takes about a quarter second after the right-click to begin reducing damage, so a hit can land even when the block was timed well. Fix shield makes the protection activate at once when the player clicks, which the author describes as fixing one of the most annoying parts of combat.

Fix shield is a Fabric mod for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 that requires Fabric API. It is a client and server mod, so both the server and every player need it. The code is under a Creative Commons license that forbids commercial use and derivatives, and the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Instant shield block

    Blocking starts the moment the right mouse button is pressed, with no 0.25 second delay.

  2. Protection on fast reactions

    Players who react quickly are no longer hit only because the shield lagged behind the click.

  3. Single combat fix

    The change touches one timing rule of combat and leaves the rest of the shield behavior as it is.
