This datapack will add an unique 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 blocked any source of damage. It will not damage your item while parrying, and it will not have a cooldown when it got hit by a heavy blow

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 disabled the Parry option

Succeed Parry:

!success parry

When Successfully parried an attack:

• Attacker will gain "Parried Debuff" (can't attack & parry, and slowed) for 1s
• If you parried a projectile, it can reflected where you facing at
• Set 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 cooldown (1 tick = 0.05s). Higher Damage = Longer Cooldown

Failed Parry

!fail parry

When Failed or Accidently used a parry:

• Gain "Failed Debuff" (can't attack and slowed) for 1s
• Set Cooldown for 3s + 0.1s if you keep failing

Thats all of the parry uses you can do. There's more of this stuff on Guide Option (in-game), you can check it out

There's also more that can upgrade or boost the parry, Which is an Enchantment
