Shield Stun (Fabric)

Server-side Fabric mod that adds Paper's shield stunning.

Since 1.11.2 a blocked hit runs a full damage tick, handing the defender invulnerability frames and swallowing the follow-up that used to launch them (MC-268147). This mod skips that tick.

It matches Paper's skip-vanilla-damage-tick-when-shield-blocked. Skipping the tick was originally a Paper bug, but players got used to stunning with it.

Configuration

The config file is located at config/shieldstun.json.

{
  "enable_stuns": true
}

Commands and permissions

What this mod doesn't do

This mod does not enable shield stunning for fake players like those found in Carpet. If you are using TheobaldTheBird's CarpetPvP mod, type:

/carpet shieldStunning true

This will temporarily enable shieldStunning for fake players. If you want it to be permanent, click the text that says '[Change permanently?]'.

This mod also doesn't enable stunning for Fabric clients on Paper servers that have shield stunning disabled.
