📖 About

With this datapack, any sword can be used as a shield, but will only block half the damage.

Features:

  • When a player takes a sword into his hand, the `blocks_attacks` and `use_cooldown` components are added to it.
    • The `use_cooldown` component is needed for the general delay group for all swords separately from shields;
  • The sword blocks half of the damage;
  • After disabling blocking with an axe, the player cannot use the sword as a shield or as a weapon at all;
  • If the player has a shield in either hand, blocking with sword is disabled.
