Defense Innovation

Defense Revolution completely overhauls Minecraft's blocking mechanics and adds brand-new shields of various materials.

⚔️ Stamina Bar

Adds a Stamina Bar system, defaulting to 40 points. Blocking attacks consumes stamina. When stamina is depleted, you enter a Guard Break state and cannot block or parry for at least 1 second — the duration depends on how far your stamina was pushed into the negative.

When your hunger bar is full, you can eat food to instantly restore stamina equal to the food's hunger value. Managing stamina wisely and timing your parries precisely will give you the upper hand in combat.

🛡️ Defense Strength

The core attribute of this mod. The higher your Defense Strength, the less stamina you consume when blocking. Defense Strength increases with shield material quality.

🗡️ Blocking & Parrying

All tools with the sword tag can block and parry, giving players basic defense even without a shield.

• Block: Hold right-click to block, consuming stamina to reduce damage.

• Parry: Block within a very short window before an attack lands to fully negate damage and stun the attacker.

Bucklers have a longer parry window, making them the weapon of choice for skill-based players.

🔰 Three Shield Classes

The mod overhauls vanilla shields into three distinct classes, each with unique tactical roles:

Buckler

Light and agile. Lower strength and durability, but features a longer parry window and reduced movement penalty while blocking. Best for technical players.

Shield

Balanced and stable. Strength and durability fall between Buckler and Great Shield. While blocking, press attack to perform a Shield Bash — consuming stamina to deal damage and knock back enemies.

Great Shield

Heavy and solid. Blocking knocks back attackers. While blocking, press Ctrl to activate Fortified Guard, consuming stamina per second to greatly increase Defense Strength and knock back all enemies in front of you.

## 🗺️ Roadmap

- Defense-themed curios, enchantments, and potions

- **Better Combat integration**: While blocking with a Great Shield, you can attack with spear-type weapons for an offense-defense hybrid playstyle

Configuration

Most values are configurable,Players can configure it according to their own needs.
