Arrows can disable shields just like axes!
Tested Versions
Minecraft: 1.20 to 1.20.2
Servers: Paper, Pufferfish, Purpur or any other stable paper fork.
Spigot and modded hybrids might not likely work and will receive no support. If you're still using spigot, it is HIGHLY recommend you upgrade to Paper
How does it work? When shielding, getting hit by an arrow will temporarily disable the shield just as if they were hit with by an axe
This plugin uses bStats. You can opt-out in the bStats config
