Sidearms is a mod that aims to add more flavor to combat by introducing various new items to occupy the offhand, as well as changing how shields work.

Shield Tweaks

Shields now have a short cooldown after blocking. Blocking with precise timing will reward you with a much shorter cooldown.

New Items

Cactus Shield

Deals 3 damage to an attacker upon blocking a melee attack, but has a slightly longer block cooldowns and perfect block window than the regular shield.

Golden Shield

Has no shield warmup (Starts blocking as soon as right click is held), but tighter perfect block window and moderately longer cooldowns compared to the regular shield.

Reflector

Blocking allows you to reflect any incoming projectile, as well as small mobs (such as silverfish and vexes). Requires very precise block timing.

Reflector Enchantments - Reflex: Parrying increases the length of the current parry window and you can parry multiple projectiles in one window. - Ignition: Parried projectiles are lit on fire.

Diamond Shield

Has significantly more durability than a regular shield, perfect blocks yield no cooldown.

Sharpening Knife

Use with a sword, axe or mace in your other hand to sharpen the weapon, giving the weapon +1 damage in its next attack (up to 5 stacks/+5 damage).

For mod/datapack developers You can configure custom shield timings using a datapack. JSON files are located at "data//sidearms_shielding" This example shows the configuration for the shield. ``` { "item": "minecraft:shield", "perfect_window": 20, "perfect_cooldown": 10, "normal_cooldown": 60 } ```
