Sword Blocking Re-added
Re-adds the sword blocking animation upon right clicking. This recource pack is purely cosmetic and doesn't block any damage like sword blocking did…
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Simply a resource pack made to add the animation of sword blocking from before the combat update to modern Minecraft. The pack is cosmetic only so it doesn't actually block any incoming damage, but it's cool anyway if you like to spam the animation. It may not work with other resource packs which mess with item models.
