Blocking with an iron sword from the player's perspective.
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 and explosions; 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. Sneaking while blocking makes the player move slower still.
Bugs
- You can mine blocks while blocking.
- If you try to attack while blocking, the attack will only register when you let go of the block button.
