Java Make shields work like in 1.11+

So, right now, in modern MC, shields block 100% damage from melee attacks, and you don't take knockback from melee attacks.

But here in CubeCraft, shields block 80% damage from melee attacks, and you can still take knockback from melee attacks when blocking with your shield. This probably isn't a bug, it was just how shields worked before 1.11.

So my suggestion for CubeCraft: Java Edition is to make shields work like they do in modern MC, and axes should always disable shields. Shields should still have the 80% damage reduction, but no knockback from melee attacks. For the duels kits that have shields and not axes, they would have to be either removed, or they should all get axes. This would also improve the "Brute" kit with the iron axe, shield, and iron armor. I also think this would help in Colony Control because of the mobs there, especially the spiders that can hit you from too far away for some reason.

I think shield with 100% block is a little to OP so i think 80% is ok! ( i never use shields xd)

I disagree with this suggestion, i think the shields are already balanced in my opinion. I also think if they would block 100% that fights would last longer and in my opinion also become boring

Yeah you are right and like DMR_ibrahim said fights would last longer and it would be boring. So I'll change this thread a bit.
