It's completely visual - no game modifications, just the classic 1.8 blocking animations :)
Works with 1.21.5 or above.
(Looks best with Model Gap Fix mod - https://modrinth.com/mod/modelfix)
- Animations break if main hand is set to left
- Incompatible with certain mod-dependant texture packs. (Furfsky Reborn, Hypixel+, etc.)
