# \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Anchor’s No Shield Delay<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
**Anchor’s No Shield Delay** is a lightweight, performance-focused utility mod for **Fabric 1.21.10** that fixes one of Minecraft’s most frustrating combat mechanics: the shield delay.<\/p>\n
In Vanilla Minecraft, there is a hardcoded **5-tick (0.25 second) delay** from the moment you right-click to the moment the shield actually starts blocking damage. This mod eliminates that window entirely.<\/p>\n
### \u26a1 Features
\n* **Instant Defense:** Removes the 5-tick “warm-up” period. If your shield is up, you are safe.
\n* **Reflex-Based Combat:** Perfect for players who rely on “clutch” blocks against Creepers, Skeletons, or in PvP.
\n* **Minimalist Design:** No unnecessary features or bloat\u2014just a clean fix to the `isBlocking` logic.
\n* **High Compatibility:** Built using Mixins, making it compatible with almost all other Fabric mods and custom shields.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Technical Overview
\nVanilla Minecraft requires `itemUseTimeLeft` to be active for at least 5 ticks before the `isBlocking()` method returns `true`. This mod injects into the `LivingEntity` class to allow for **0-tick activation**, ensuring your hitboxes are updated the same frame you press the button.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udce5 Installation Guide
\n1. **Requirements:** Ensure you are running **Fabric Loader** on version **1.21.10**.
\n2. **Download:** Grab the latest `.jar` from the versions tab.
\n3. **Setup:** Drop the file into your `%appdata%\/.minecraft\/mods` folder.
\n4. **Play:** Enjoy a more responsive and fair combat experience!<\/p>\n
