Blocking



Blocking is a feature implemented in the Adventure Update. When the player holds the right mouse button while wielding a sword, they are able to block attacks, including arrows; blocked attacks deal only half damage. Blocking works with any sword, and does not decrease the sword's durability.

The player moves at a speed slower than sneaking while blocking. Additionally, sneaking while blocking makes the player move even more slowly.

Bugs

 * Blocking halves all damage, except for drowning, starving, suffocating, and burning. Blocking with even as much as a wooden sword allows the player to survive 41 block high falls unarmored.
 * You can mine blocks while blocking.
