This datapack will add a simple defence mechanic to swords, which is a Parry!

Unlike shield, you don't have to hold right click to block. Instead, you have to time it correctly to negate any sources of damage.

Look on the Bottom to see how they work

How to use a Parry?

Right-Click with your swords, and it will perform a block or parry use parry

Reminder: While having shield, or putting any items in your offhand will disable your Parry

When parry succeed:

success parry

Attacker cannot attack and get slowed for 1s
- Also disables parry for players
Parrying projectile will get reflected where you facing at
Cooldown depending how much damage it took

Example: Zombie dealt 4 damage to your parry, grabs that damage into tick as cooldown. so 4 ticks means 0.2s (1 tick = 0.05s). Higher Damage = Longer Cooldown

fail parry

Cannot attack and get slowed for 1s
Parry gets cooldown for 3s before you can use it
- If you keep failing, add another 0.1s cooldown (up to 5s cooldown max). Removes the extra cooldown when parry succeeded
