# Parry It Datapack<\/p>\n
> Parry projectiles, creepers and damage!<\/p>\n
## Introduction<\/p>\n
This datapack features a new type of shield that allows the player to parry projectiles, creepers and damage.<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
– Place the .zip in your world’s datapacks folder<\/p>\n
## Usage<\/p>\n
– If you don’t have the recipe use the `\/reload` command to obtain it<\/p>\n
– Craft the shield
\n<\/p>\n
## Parrying<\/p>\n
– Right click it while holding it with your left or right hand to perform a parry<\/p>\n
– By default, you have a 7 ticks (0.35 seconds) window to perform a parry, if you fail, you will be applied a negative effect and your parry cooldown is increased<\/p>\n
– If you perform a succesful parry, it will reset your cooldown to 2 ticks<\/p>\n
– Depending on what do you parry, it will give you different effects<\/p>\n
### Damage Parry<\/p>\n
– If you are hit while parrying, it blocks the damage and gives you strenght for a few seconds<\/p>\n
– The mob\/player that has hit you be given a slow and nausea effect<\/p>\n
### Projectile parry<\/p>\n
There are 3 types of projectiles, each one has a different effect when parried<\/p>\n
– Absorbable (Wind Charges and Wither Skulls): Gives the player strenght and speed, and gives slowness to the mob\/player that shot the projectile<\/p>\n
– Deflectable (Arrows, tridents and throwable potions): Changes the direction of the projectile and gives slowness to the mob\/player that shot the projectile<\/p>\n
– Stopable (Fireballs): Stops in the air the projectile (and can be punch again) and gives slowness to the mob\/player that shot the projectile<\/p>\n
### Creeper Parry<\/p>\n
– When in a 3 block radius from a creeper that is targeting you, using the shield around 5 ticks (0.25) right before it explodes, it will instantly do 1000 damage to the creeper<\/p>\n
## Admin commands<\/p>\n
– To give yourself a parry shield use the `\/function parry_it:_sudo\/give_shield` command<\/p>\n
– To change the datapack configuration use the `\/function parry_it:_sudo\/open_config`, this will open a dialog and it will print out the current configuration in the chat<\/p>\n
### Configuration<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
– `\/function parry_it:_sudo\/reset` sets the configuration to the default values<\/p>\n
There are 4 types of values that can be modified inside the configuration dialog<\/p>\n
> Note that all the values are in ticks: 20 ticks => 1 second<\/p>\n
– Parry Window (7 ticks by default): It’s the time between using the parry and failing it, a lower value requires the player to use it more precisely<\/p>\n
– Parry Cooldown on Success (2 ticks by default): It’s value of the cooldown after a successful parry, a lower value allows to use it right before a parry<\/p>\n
– Parry Cooldown on Fail (40 ticks by default): It’s value of the cooldown after a failed parry and the duration of the negative effects, a higher value punishes more the player<\/p>\n
– Parry Creeper Minimum Fuse Time (25 ticks by default): It’s the creeper fuse time required to parry a creeper successfully, a lower value allows to parry creeper earlier and less risky<\/p>\n
> It’s highly recommended to use a higher parry window and lower creeper minimum fuse time in servers, lag can make this datapack very inconsistent<\/p>\n
