Fryc's Parry (aka Sword Parry)

Using a block action right before a hit triggers a parry. A parried projectile is negated, and a parried melee attack knocks the attacker back and slows them. The block delay is set by the item used, and it is 0 for most items except the mace. Explosions are handled differently: they cannot be parried, and the explosion block delay stays below 0, so only shields and maces block them.

The parry key defaults to R and starts blocking. Players may instead set parrying to the right-click Use Key, which unbinds the Parry Key, or leave the Use Key alone and bind blocking to a different key. Config files sit in a frycparry folder, and the settings can also be opened through Mod Menu. Each item can be adjusted individually to modify its parry attributes.

Installation needs Cloth Config API and Multiple use actions. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, for 1.20 – 1.21.2, with 6.5.0+1.21 for 1.21.1 as the latest file from 2026-05-11. The server and every player need the mod installed. Version 6.5.0 and later use Multiple use actions, and on 1.20 those builds do not work because that library is incompatible with Sinytra Connector, which this mod requires. Version 6.4.0 works on 1.20.
