Shields don't block?

[beanboy7]

I was fighting someone and they were hitting me with an axe, so when I went to block it, it didn't negate any damage whatsoever. I'm wondering if this is intentional or not.

Cubecraft servers are still on 1.9, so shields don't prevent knockback and only reduce the damage. If you get hit with an axe while blocking, your shield gets disabled for a short time, you can see the cooldown on the shield icon in yout offhand.
Also when you get hit while blocking you have a chance of the shield glitching, causing you to keep blocking forever from other player's prespective and being unable to hit.

When blocking, arrows don't give damage and doesn't push you back. When the person is using a sword, axe, or anything, you'll get knockback and damage will be reduced.

Since 1.11 Shields block 100% melee damage and prevent knockback. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Shield

I'm trying so hard to get of rid of that myth. It get's disabled 2/3 of the time.

Shields do not block the damage completely, they just reduce the damage.
