📋 About This Mod
OVERVIEW
Modular improvements to Rock Solid, allowing for a more parry-focused playstyle.
Successful deflections will instantly complete Rock Solid's cooldown period, allowing it to be used again.
Mana refunded by successful deflections (via the Bold Venture skill): 10 (lvl 1) / 15 (lvl 2) → 20 (lvl 1) / 30 (lvl 2).
As its mana cost is 30, once fully upgraded this allows Rock Solid to be entirely self-sustaining - so long as you don't miss.
Note that Sound as a Bell (optional Relic perk) will stack with this regain, allowing you to be mana net positive with skillful deflects.
Additional options:
• remove the (0. 2s / 0. 3s) window reduction debuffs from Bold Venture
• increase the general Rock Solid cooldown reduction from Rock Mastery -2s → -7. 5s (i.e., halves total CD)
These options are modular - you can use them in any combination.
Requires CSharpLoader and Protobuf Loader.
Fully compatible with my other Black Myth: Wukong mod, Improved Movement.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
This mod is essentially a stripped down + fully modular version of various features available in several other Rock Solid mods, adjusted to my tastes as a player, as I found the existing mods far too forgiving (IMO). I wanted to make Rock Solid more integral to my playstyle, but with the default window, and to still be punished for missing the timing. That said, if you'd prefer increases to Rock Solid's deflection window, extended buff duration, attack immunity or no cooldown / mana cost, I'd suggest True Rock Solid, RockSolid, or No Cooldown Rock Solid - they've got you covered.
INSTALLATION
• install CSharpLoader and Protobuf Loader
• download mod(s) from the files tab
• extract contents (a folder for each mod option) to your local game directory's ProtobufLoader folder
- i.e., ".../steamapps/common/BlackMythWukong\b1\Binaries\Win64\CSharpLoader\Mods\ProtobufLoader"
• launch the game as usual
To uninstall, simply delete the folder and its contents from the ProtobufLoader folder.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tight design: modular means you pick what you want, no bloat
- Direct fix for a frustrating mechanic—deflection spam without the wait
- Fresh update (Aug 2025) so it's likely compatible with current builds
⚠️ Cons
- Small player base (25 endorsements) — might not be battle-tested
- Only affects deflection—if you don't use that skill, this mod does nothing for you
For 7 Days to Die players who rely on deflection and hate the cooldown. If you're a melee build that parries often, this is a quality-of-life boost. Skip if you don't use deflection or want broader gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's modular, check the mod folder for config files to toggle optional tweaks
- If you're on a dedicated server, make sure the mod is installed on both client and server
- Test in a single-player world first to see how the mana refund affects your stamina management
