βοΈ How the Swap Works
A five-step process that occurs within a single tick:
- Attack fired β player hits enemy
- Shield check β
isUsingItem()detects if the target is raising a shield - Swap to axe β
@Inject HEADswaps the held item to an axe - Axe hits β shield is disabled
- Revert slot β
@Inject RETURNswaps back to the original item instantly
π¦ Module Breakdown
ShieldDetector (util/ShieldDetector.java)
Checks if the target player is actively raising a shield via isUsingItem() + item identity
check. Catches the intent before the 5-tick raise delay, ensuring no missed hits.
InventoryScanner (util/InventoryScanner.java)
Scans hotbar slots 0β8 first, then main inventory slots 9β35. Maintains a cached
last-used axe slot for instant lookup on repeated attacks. Supports any modded axe
extending AxeItem.
SwapHandler (handler/SwapHandler.java)
Orchestrates the full swap sequence. Guards against spam with a 150ms cooldown. Sends a
vanilla UpdateSelectedSlotC2SPacket for server sync. Reverts in the same call-stack frame
β zero extra ticks.
Attack Mixin (mixin/ClientPlayerInteractionManagerMixin.java)
Hooks into attackEntity() at HEAD (pre-packet) and RETURN (post-packet). Only
intercepts PlayerEntity targets β mob attacks pass through unmodified.
Config (config/ShieldBreakConfig.java)
GSON-backed JSON config at config/instant-shield-break.json. Supports enabled toggle,cooldownMs tuning, and debugLogging for verbose output. Auto-creates defaults on first
launch.
