🛡️ Anchor's No Shield Delay

Anchor's No Shield Delay is a lightweight, performance-focused utility mod for Fabric 1.21.10 that fixes one of Minecraft's most frustrating combat mechanics: the shield delay.
In Vanilla Minecraft, there is a hardcoded 5-tick (0.25 second) delay from the moment you right-click to the moment the shield actually starts blocking damage. This mod eliminates that window entirely.
⚡ Features
- Instant Defense: Removes the 5-tick "warm-up" period. If your shield is up, you are safe.
- Reflex-Based Combat: Perfect for players who rely on "clutch" blocks against Creepers, Skeletons, or in PvP.
- Minimalist Design: No unnecessary features or bloat—just a clean fix to the
isBlockinglogic. - High Compatibility: Built using Mixins, making it compatible with almost all other Fabric mods and custom shields.
🛠️ Technical Overview
Vanilla Minecraft requires itemUseTimeLeft to be active for at least 5 ticks before the isBlocking() method returns true. This mod injects into the LivingEntity class to allow for 0-tick activation, ensuring your hitboxes are updated the same frame you press the button.
📥 Installation Guide
- Requirements: Ensure you are running Fabric Loader on version 1.21.10.
- Download: Grab the latest
.jarfrom the versions tab. - Setup: Drop the file into your
%appdata%/.minecraft/modsfolder. - Play: Enjoy a more responsive and fair combat experience!
Note: This mod is client-side and server-side friendly. For best results in multiplayer, it is recommended to have the mod installed on the server to prevent "ghost" damage.
