Parrying

in minecraft combat is often easy for most players so I think they should add this to make combat have more skill needed to get max damage I think if you shift without a shield you block with your weapon but it still hurts you if you get hit but what I was thinking is that when blocking with a weapon if you hit a mob just before getting a block with a weapon you can parry there attacks making that hit do more damage

I Hope You Like My Idea
