Note: 1.20 versions are outdated. The description below refers to 1.21 versions.

Adds parry mechanics and allows blocking with items other than shield.

Block and parry:

You can use some items (tools by default) to block attacks.

~~Press parry key (R by default) to start blocking.~~ (mod is using Multiple use actions since 6.5.0)

Player takes less damage while blocking (value depends on item that is being used).

Using block action right before taking a hit triggers parry:

- parrying attack or projectile negates damage - parrying melee attack knocks back and slows enemy - explosions can't be parried

Block delay:

By default, all items (except mace) have 0 block delay (you start blocking immediately after pressing button).

Explosion block delay:

Explosions are handled in a bit different way:

- apart from normal block delay, there is also explosion block delay - if explosion block delay is below 0, explosions can't be blocked (all items except shield and mace) - shield and mace have 5 explosion block delay - if player is holding block for less than 5 ticks, your item's protection will be 80% weaker (for example, shield that normally fully absorbs explosion damage, will only absorb 20%)

Cooldown:

Item starts cooling down when player interrupts block action, changes item or attacks.

Cooldown after parry is shorter.

Enchantments:

This mod makes shield enchantable and adds 3 parry related enchantments:

- Reflex - decreases block delay by 1 per level, or increases parry ticks by 1 per level if block delay is 0 - Counterarrack - deals damage to parried enemies (20% - 50% of players damage) - Parry - strengthens status effects applied after parry

Configuration:

~~Keybinds:~~

~~To set parrying to right click (Use Key), unbind Parry Key.~~

~~There is also "Prevent using parry key" which prevents player from blocking or parrying~~

See Setting block action to different key and Setting block action to right click

Config files:

You can access config via Mod Menu

Config files are inside 'frycparry' folder

Datapacks:

You can modify pool of items that can parry and modify parry attributes for each item individually
