just parry
by thebugger4
With just parry installed, a player can block incoming attacks and projectiles by pressing G at the right moment, and the mechanic is configurable on the server.
What it does
The parry mechanic was originally part of the Movement Arrows mod and is now a standalone mod. Pressing G plays a first-person or third-person parry animation and opens a parry window of 13 ticks. Anything that hits the player during a window of 60 ticks can be parried, and damage handling depends on the type of damage, so fall damage can be parried as well. Every part of the behavior is configurable.
Installation needs Forge or NeoForge and playerAnimator. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for 1.20.1 only, with 2.5 as the latest file for both Forge and NeoForge, released 2025-08-08. The license is a custom license, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Parry window and animation
Pressing G starts a parry animation and opens a 13-tick window in which incoming hits are blocked.
Configurable attributes
The parry:enableparry attribute decides whether a player can use the ability, and it applies from the default value set in the config.
Item-specific parry settings
The justparryitemregistry command lets a server assign parry properties to specific items, such as parry knockback, parried projectile redirection and parry cooldown.
Parried projectile control
Parried projectiles can be redirected, with a speed multiplier and an inaccuracy value, and the mod can parry the player's own or enemy projectiles.
