Don't Run With Scissors
Remember being told to not run with scissors while at school because it was "dangerous"? Do you have an itch to just try it out and see what happens? Well if you do you will suffer the consequences. With this mod running with scissors (shears) will damage you or if you take fall damage with them in your hand.
This mod was created because there is the saying "Don't run with scissors" and shears in Minecraft are basically just scissors. Thanks to my friend for this idea!
