Anchor's No Shield Delay

# 🛡️ Anchor's No Shield Delay  **Anchor's No Shield Delay** is a lightweight, performance-focused utility mod for **Fabric 1.21.10** that fixes one of Minecraft's most frustrating combat mechanics: the shield delay. In Vanilla Minecraft, there is a hardcoded **5-tick (0.25 second) delay** from the moment you right-click to the moment the shield actually starts blocking damage. This mod eliminates that window entirely. ### ⚡ Features * **Instant Defense:** Removes the 5-tick "warm-up" period. If your shield is up, you are safe. * **Reflex-Based Combat:** Perfect for players who rely on "clutch" blocks against Creepers, Skeletons, or in PvP. * **Minimalist Design:** No unnecessary features or bloat—just a clean fix to the `isBlocking` logic. * **High Compatibility:** Built using Mixins, making it compatible with almost all other Fabric mods and custom shields. ### 🛠️ Technical Overview Vanilla Minecraft requires `itemUseTimeLeft` to be active for at least 5 ticks before the `isBlocking()` method returns `true`. This mod injects into the `LivingEntity` class to allow for **0-tick activation**, ensuring your hitboxes are updated the same frame you press the button. ### 📥 Installation Guide 1. **Requirements:** Ensure you are running **Fabric Loader** on version **1.21.10**. 2. **Download:** Grab the latest `.jar` from the versions tab. 3. **Setup:** Drop the file into your `%appdata%/.minecraft/mods` folder. 4. **Play:** Enjoy a more responsive and fair combat experience! --- *Note: This mod is client-side and server-side friendly. For best results in multiplayer, it is recommended to have the mod installed on the server to prevent "ghost" damage.*
