Anchor's No Shield Delay

🛡️ Anchor's No Shield Delay

Fabric 1.21.10 is a lightweight, performance-focused utility mod for Fabric 1.21.10 that fixes one of Minecraft's most frustrating combat mechanics: the shield delay.

In Vanilla Minecraft, there is a hardcoded 5-tick (0.25 second) delay from the moment you right-click to the moment the shield actually starts blocking damage. This mod eliminates that window entirely.

⚡ Features

* High Compatibility: Removes the 5-tick "warm-up" period. If your shield is up, you are safe. * High Compatibility: Perfect for players who rely on "clutch" blocks against Creepers, Skeletons, or in PvP. * High Compatibility: No unnecessary features or bloat—just a clean fix to the `isBlocking` logic. * High Compatibility: Built using Mixins, making it compatible with almost all other Fabric mods and custom shields.

🛠️ Technical Overview

Vanilla Minecraft requires `itemUseTimeLeft` to be active for at least 5 ticks before the `isBlocking()` method returns `true`. This mod injects into the `LivingEntity` class to allow for 0-tick activation, ensuring your hitboxes are updated the same frame you press the button.

📥 Installation Guide

1. Play: Ensure you are running Play: on version Play:. 2. Play: Grab the latest `.jar` from the versions tab. 3. Play: Drop the file into your `%appdata%/.minecraft/mods` folder. 4. Play: Enjoy a more responsive and fair combat experience!

--- *Note: This mod is client-side and server-side friendly. For best results in multiplayer, it is recommended to have the mod installed on the server to prevent "ghost" damage.*
