⬇ Download
Responsive Shields Mod allows you to adjust the delay in Minecraft’s blocking system. It reduces the time needed to raise the shield to block an attack, making the combat system more responsive and dynamic.
Features:
- Removes or adjusts the default 5-tick delay when raising a shield, allowing for faster blocking.
- Can be used in multiplayer without requiring other players to install the mod.
- Includes a configuration file (responsive-shields.toml) where players can tweak the raise time (default is 0 ticks for instant blocking).
- Players can set the raise time to 1 or 2 ticks for a balance between responsiveness and avoiding excessive block-hitting.
