Shield Mastery

Master the vanilla shield with server-authoritative timing-based parries. Start blocking inside the configurable 200 ms window to cancel the hit, push back a melee attacker, reflect standard and compatible modded projectiles, and earn exactly one counterattack bonus. Ordinary blocking outside the window remains vanilla.

Features

  • Reflection, Stability, Counterstrike and Reinforced shield enchantments
  • Reflected arrows, tridents, fireballs and standard Projectile subclasses
  • Configurable timing, durability, knockback and enchantment levels
  • Small optional crosshair flash with no large HUD
  • English and Russian localization
  • JSON configuration and safe disconnect cleanup

Requires Minecraft 1.20.1, Fabric Loader, Fabric API and Java 17. Install on client and server. Compatible with Sodium, Lithium and standard content mods; no chunks are forced and no world scan occurs. MIT licensed.
