Description from the author on Modrinth

Complete Shield Fixes!

This mod addresses two Minecraft bugs related to shields. It resolves issues with shield sounds (bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-105068)
and corrects the animation glitch where the player's shield doesn't display blocking properly (bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-238293).


Information:

Shield Sounds

This mod adds shield sounds for the following events:

  • If a player's shield gets disabled.
  • If a player's shield is being hit / attacked by any damage source. This includes explosions and projectiles.

Shield Blocking

This mod fixes the animation issue with shields where a player is shielding but sometimes doesn't show them blocking. This can be very annoying when PvPing as you
don't know if the player is shielding or not. The video below shows a player shielding and in survival.

This mod also factors in the 5-tick delay from shields. This means it will not show the player is blocking until they actually are blocking. The video below shows a player spam using the shield and occasionally holding it up long enough for the shield to actually show. However, you can disable this using the config screen if you find this un-useful or annoying.
