About Auto-Shield Reborn
From ModrinthAuto-block with a shield in either hand, within a 180-degree arc, with server-set durability cost. Fabric + NeoForge, MC 26.x.
Auto-Shield Reborn
Hold a shield in either hand and you automatically block any hit a raised shield would normally block - no need to raise it. All blocking is server-authoritative, so it works on dedicated servers even for players who do not have the mod installed.
Why Auto-Shield Reborn
- Block without raising. Melee, projectiles, and most direct damage from your front 180-degree arc
(horizontal) are blocked automatically while a shield is in your main or off hand; hits from behind still land, and shield-bypassing damage (fire, fall, drowning, magic, starvation) passes through - exactly like a manually-raised shield.
- Server-authoritative + fair. The per-hit shield durability cost is server-configurable (0-10,
default 1; 0 = the shield never wears). Operators set it; everyone else sees it read-only.
- Lightweight. Adds no blocks, items, or commands. Install it on a server for the behaviour;
install it on clients too for the in-game config screen.
Usage
Hold a shield. Each automatic block plays the shield sound, swings your arm, and chips the shield by the configured cost. Open the config screen from ModMenu (Fabric) or the Config button on the mod-list entry (Forge / NeoForge); operators edit the durability cost and the server clamps, persists, and syncs it to everyone.
Ships as a Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge mod (client + server).
