Shield 'n Parry Mod
This mod makes combat require a higher amount of skill while still letting new pvp-ers have a chance. Learn to parry attacks, bash with your shield, and reflect projectiles.
So, What's Actually New?
1. Weapon Parrying
Press R (configurable) with a weapon just before an attack hits you.
- Perfect timing blocks damage and staggers the attacker
- Weapon matters: Faster weapons = tighter timing windows, faster cooldown recharge
- Feels badass: Screen effects, sounds, and knockback when you nail it
- Fail? You get slowed down briefly. Practice makes perfect.
2. Shield Bashing
Hold block with a shield, then press the parry key.
- Charge forward and knock enemies back
- Applies slowness to anything you hit
- Works with any shield (vanilla or modded)
3. Projectile Reflection
Time a parry right as an arrow or fireball reaches you.
- Deflects it back at the shooter
- Gains extra power on the return trip
- Works with most modded projectiles automatically
- Extremely satisfying (and extremely hard) when you reflect a skeleton's own arrows
AND YES YOU CAN PARRY FALL DAMAGE!!!
Extra Stuff & Compatibility
- Three new enchantments:
- Parry Recovery (less cooldown)
- Parry Window (easier timing)

- No performance hit: Efficient code that doesn't lag your game
