Art of Parrying

Art of Parrying adds timed parries to Minecraft combat. Activate a parry just before taking a hit to cancel the damage and knock your attacker back, with sparks and sound effects marking a successful block.

Each parry opens a short window of protection. By default, landing one resets your cooldown, letting you parry again immediately. Miss the timing, and you’ll have to wait before trying again.

• Configurable parry window, cooldown, and cooldown reset on success.
• Rebindable parry key, set to Mouse Button 5 by default.
• Optional controls to trigger a parry when you release a held attack.
• Optional animations through Punchy and Player Animator.
• Optional camera feedback through CameraOverhaul.

The core parry mechanic works without the animation or camera mods. Install them if you want additional visual feedback.

Available for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Fabric and Forge, and Minecraft 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge. Install on both the client and server for multiplayer.
