Sword Blocking Mechanics restores the very useful blocking ability to all swords straight from the Minecraft 1.7 / 1.8 combat era. What more is there to say really? It's just as equally awesome as it was back in the day. Simply right-click your held sword and 50% of all incoming damage will be blocked. Really easy to use and much more convenient than bulky shields. You still want to ocasionally use a shield though? No problem! When held in the offhand it will be prioritized over sword blocking.

Everything about sword blocking is fully customizable, and there even is a new parry mechanic. It is active in the first 0.5 seconds after initiating a sword block, where the block is more similar to a shield and prevents all incoming damage.

Any item that is to support the sword blocking mechanic must be added to the swordblockingmechanics:can_perform_sword_blocking item tag. Items you want to use from your offhand while holding a sword in the mainhand should be added to the swordblockingmechanics:overrides_sword_blocking_in_offhand item tag.

For bringing back not the old sword blocking mechanic, but also just fast paced combat, make sure to check out Golden Age Combat.
