Allows blocking your sword to reduce taken damage by 50% – like in 1.8
Vanilla Sword Blocking
This is a very simple plugin that brings back the old sword blocking mechanics, allowing you to block with your sword to reduce the damage you take by 50%.
The best part about it: It's server-only, so players don't even have to install a mod on their client for this - just add the plugin to the server and it works for everyone!
How it works
Essentialy, this plugin uses the recently added component called "consumable", to make Minecraft think you can eat swords!
This is used to enable the blocking animation; because the consumable component is currently the only way to do that.
Then, the plugin prevents you from actually eating your sword (you're welcome!), and instead reduces damage when it detects you are blocking ("eating", from minecraft's perspective) your sword.
Note:
While this mod can be installed on any server version 1.21.2 and later, the blocking will only be displayed correctly by clients on version 1.21.4 (24w44a, to be exact) and later.
