Parrying Daggers
by ihnvert
Parrying Daggers adds a family of five parrying daggers, from wooden to netherite, that reduce incoming damage when a player times a block correctly.
What it does
Each dagger tier is crafted from the tier below it: a wooden dagger needs flint and a wooden sword piece at a crafting table, a stone dagger adds cobblestone and string, an iron dagger uses an iron ingot at a smithing table, a diamond dagger uses a diamond, and a netherite dagger uses a netherite ingot. The mod is built for Forge on Minecraft 1.19.2 only, and its single file dates from 2023-11-18.
A successful parry negates or reduces damage taken, and higher tiers shorten the cooldown before the next parry. A server can change the reduction through a configuration option: the default value is 80 percent on a scale from 0 to 100, and a setting can make parries negate all damage instead. Daggers work in the offhand while a regular sword stays in the main hand, so the weapon choice is left to the player.
Parrying Daggers runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, and the code is not open source. The author notes that more equipment is planned for future updates.
Key features
Five dagger tiers
Wooden, stone, iron, diamond and netherite daggers, each crafted from the tier below it.
Timed parries
Right-clicking as an attack approaches triggers a parry that negates or reduces the damage taken.
Adjustable damage reduction
The percentage of damage a successful parry reduces can be set, with a default of 80 on a 0 to 100 scale.
Offhand use
Daggers are held in the offhand, so a sword or axe stays in the main hand for attacks.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Combat with a regular weapon
Players keep a sword or axe in the main hand and use a dagger in the offhand to block incoming hits.
Progression through tiers
Players move from wooden to netherite daggers as they gather materials and use smithing tables.
Who it’s for: Players who want timed defensive combat on Forge 1.19.2, and server owners who want a combat option that players can use alongside their existing weapons.
How it compares
Damp Daggers is a Forge mod for 1.19.4 – 1.20.1, with All rights reserved and not open source, so it does not cover 1.19.2. Sombrius's Weaponry is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 under the MIT License, so it covers the same version as Parrying Daggers but is not a parry-focused dagger set.
