🛡️ Shield Stun [Fabric]

A server-side Fabric mod that aims to balance the shield in PvP.

🔧 Technical Details

The Problem

A minecraft bug (MC-268147) from 1.11.2 introduced unintended shield behavior, making shields:

• More overpowered in PvP combat
• Trigger invulnerability tick behaviour (despite the player not turning red)
