Description

Classic Sword Blocking

Miss the old combat mechanics? Classic Sword Blocking brings back the iconic ability to block with swords to Minecraft 1.21.1.

When holding the block button while using a sword, incoming damage is reduced by 50%, recreating the classic defensive playstyle from earlier versions of the game. To maintain compatibility and balance, if the player has a shield equipped, the shield's blocking mechanics will always take priority over sword blocking.

Features

Restores the classic sword blocking mechanic. Reduces incoming damage by 50% while blocking. Shields automatically take priority when equipped. Designed specifically for Minecraft 1.21.1. Lightweight and straightforward implementation. Preserves the nostalgic feel of classic combat while maintaining modern gameplay compatibility.
