Projectile Deflection
by GFBruno
Projectile Deflection gives Projectile Protection enchantments a small chance to send incoming arrows and other projectiles back, with the chance growing per enchantment level.
What it does
Armor enchanted with Projectile Protection can deflect projectiles. Each level of the enchantment adds a small chance per projectile, and a full armor set with the enchantment reaches a 100% chance. The effect applies only to the enchantment's own projectiles, so other protection types are unchanged. Projectile Deflection is server required and client optional, so the server must run it while players may leave it out. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.21 – 26.2 and the latest file for 26.2. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Chance-based deflection
Each projectile that hits an enchanted player has a chance to be deflected, based on the Projectile Protection level.
Scaling with armor
Wearing more enchanted pieces adds to the chance, so a full set can reach a 100% chance.
Data pack option
The mod is also available as a data pack for server platforms that do not use mod loaders.
