About this Mod

We Are Bringing 1.8 Sword Blocking Visuals to 1.21

  • Works with any ANIMATION mods (e.g., odin, nofrills)
  • Works with any TEXTURE packs
  • Added Hypixel Compatibility
  • Added Arm Rotation on Third Person View

Type /swordblock on/off to toggle.

Note: This mod is purely visual and does not add actual sword blocking mechanics (damage reduction). It is 100% client-side and safe for use on servers like Hypixel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does SwordBlock need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks SwordBlock as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does SwordBlock require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.11, 1.21.10. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

SwordBlock is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
