Reduce shield blocking regarding explosions

Being able to block explosions is something fundamental when combating creepers or being surrounded by other explosive events, but it has become too OP as of the recent combat snapshot. Blocking around 100% makes creepers look like a confetti fest compared of what it was before 1.9, basically removing the danger and challenge from them. Reducing the blocking percentage like around 50-75% could make creepers more dangerous while still making shields just as useful.

    I think it should just remove 5 damage like with everything else. In normal mode a 5 damage reduction makes creepers survivable, while not op, I think that's fair.

    I agree. Creepers are the icon of Minecraft and now they are very easy to avoid.
