This datapack will add a simple 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 negate any sources 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 not able to Attack or Parry (for player), and get Slowed for 1s
• Parrying projectile will get reflected where you facing at
• 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:

• You will not able to Attack, and get Slowed for 1s
• 3s Parry Cooldown + 0.1s if you keep failing (up to 5s max). Removes extra seconds when successfully parried

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 (don't know if it's helpful)

There's also an Enchantment that can upgrade or boost your parry
