Timing-based combat parry. Whoever hits FIRST gets the parry!

A faithful port of the Bedrock Parry mod to Java Edition. No shield required — any item (or no item) works. Just time your attack to match the enemy's.

 

How It Works

If you and an enemy hit each other within a 0.4-second window (8 ticks), the person who hit first gets the parry. The second hitter is punished:

 
  • ❌ Takes zero damage
  • 🌀 Gets stunned (Slowness II + Weakness I for 3 seconds)
  • 💥 Gets knocked back away from the parry winner
  • ✨ A parry sound + critical-hit particle burst plays
  • 🔢 The winner's parry counter increments
 

This works in both directions:

  • You hit an enemy, then it hits you → YOU parry (the enemy gets stunned)
  • An enemy hits you, then you hit it → IT parries (you get stunned)
 

No shield needed. No specific item required. Fist, sword, axe — anything works.

 

Commands

Command
Description
/parry Toggle parry on/off for yourself

Installation

Requirements

Component
Version
Minecraft Java Edition 26.2 (latest stable)
Fabric Loader 0.19.3
Fabric API 0.156.0+26.2 (required dependency)
Java SE / JDK 25

Steps

  1. Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.2
  2. Download Fabric API and place it in your mods/ folder
  3. Download ciservermodding-parry-1.0.0.jar and place it in your mods/ folder
  4. Launch the game and join any world or server
 

Server Installation

Place both the Fabric API jar and the Parry jar in the server's mods/ folder. Clients connecting to the server do not need the mod installed (all logic runs server-side), but can install it if they want.

 

Compatibility

  • Fabric (not Forge/NeoForge)
  • Client + Server (environment: "*") — install on either or both
  • ✅ All parry logic runs server-side (safe no-op on a pure client)
  • ✅ Works with all other Fabric mods
  • ✅ No experiments or beta APIs
  • ✅ No mixins — uses only Fabric API events
  • ✅ No custom items, blocks, or entities (pure logic mod)
 

Technical Details

  • Parry window: 8 ticks (0.4 seconds at 20 TPS)
  • Stun: Slowness II + Weakness I, 60 ticks (3 seconds)
  • Knockback: 1.8 horizontal + 0.6 vertical (away from the parry winner)
  • Toggle: Uses vanilla entity tags (parry_disabled) — persists via NBT, visible to /tag list
