In the future there are plans to add features such as adding new attacks to the Vanilla swords, more ways to protect yourself, combo attacks, movement improvements, and more.

Interesting... i wish to see the full version)) good luck))
I like de idea
A port to Minecraft 1.9.4 is now available!
- Due to changes in Minecraft, there is now no blocking sound.
- Being knocked back while sneaking and right-clicking now applies to the shield as long as the shield is in your off-hand instead of the sword.
