re-ShieldStun
by Aurelith_MX
re-ShieldStun is a server-side Fabric fix that changes how the game handles damage taken while a shield blocks an attack.
What it does
The mod targets the shield invulnerability tick bug tracked as MC-268147, which has existed in vanilla Minecraft for years. Paper's option that skips the vanilla damage tick when a shield blocks an attack is carried over to Fabric here, which lets a server use that behavior while running Fabric. Only the server needs the mod, and players join without installing anything. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and files cover 1.19.4.
