If you have the habit of using Minecraft shields regularly, you might have come across an issue where the shield does not block an arrow even when you have raised it, resulting in you being hit with the arrow. This is due to a delay that is given to shields in the vanilla game. No Shield Delay Mod removes the delay, and even better, the mod actually lets you configure the delay. This ensures that you will no longer get unfairly hit.
