Always Shield

"How the #### did that hit me?" No more

Why?

In Minecraft, the delay before the shield starts actually protecting you is longer than the block animation itself. I've often seen people and myself be confused by how were they damaged despite their shield was up. I got fed up with it after learning about it and decided to code it myself.

And I do realize there's many mods like this one, but most are Fabric-only and aren't always up-to-date with the latest versions, and that's where Always Shield comes in with its support for 1.21 and above for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

Questions you may have

How long will this be kept updated?

Until I'm 2 meters under. I love Minecraft and programming, so I'll keep updating the mod for however long I live.

Any plans?

I've got planned: Quilt Loader support, Multiloader jars, Snapshots support and 1.20.1-1.20.6 version support

But you can also request a custom port to some of the most popular loaders (including for server like Spigot, Paper etc) for any version and I'll gladly port it!

Why does the mod version change, but there's no new content?

Just indicates state of the actual source code, gradle etc., but not the content of the mod itself.

This is just a small QoL project, hope y'all like it
