About this Mod

With the addition of the new spear weapon, a problem has arisen: holding a spear does not allow you to block with your shield. Historically, spears and shields were often used together, and the vanilla mechanics do not allow for this synergy. Plus, it would just be much more convenient to be able to block while poking mobs or other players with the spear.

Thus, I have decided to solve this problem in the form of Let Me Block!

Notes

This mod disables the spear's charged attack while holding a shield. Additionally, due to the way Minecraft's networking works, the mod must also be installed on the server side if playing multiplayer.
