Shield Parry Mod

Add Dark Souls / Valheim style parry mechanics to Minecraft! Master the timing and stun enemies with a well-executed shield parry.

⚔️ How It Works

The Parry Mechanic: Raise your shield and let enemies attack you within a 0.7-second window to execute a perfect parry.

When You Successfully Parry:

• Enemy is stunned for 3 seconds
• Applied effects: Slowness X, Weakness V, Mining Fatigue X, Glowing
• Enemy is knocked back
• Epic visual effects: Gold particles, enchanted sparkles, and explosion
• Satisfying sound effects

Visual Feedback:

• "PARRY WINDOW ACTIVE" message when you raise your shield (gold)
• "PARRY SUCCESS" when you nail the timing (green)
• "Too late - Parry failed" when you miss (red)

🎮 Gameplay

This mod rewards perfect timing and reaction speed. When an enemy is about to strike:

1. Raise your shield (hold right-click)
2. Let the enemy hit you while blocking
3. If they hit within 0.7 seconds of raising the shield → Perfect parry!
4. The stunned enemy glows and you have 3 seconds to counter-attack
