📋 About This Mod

Stagger adds a simple poise and stagger system to shield blocking akin to Soulslike games.
Each player has by default 20 poise and blocking with a shield will instead apply that much poise damage. Once your poise damage is maxed out, your shield will be disabled for 5 seconds. Your poise recovers slowly over time.
Axes no longer disable shields, instead they deal more poise damage by virtue of having higher attack damage.
This behavior is controlled by four attributes, which other mods and modpacks can make use of.
### `stagger:max_poise`
The amount of poise a player has, i.e. the amount of damage they can block before staggering.
Default: 20
### `stagger:poise_rate`
The amount of poise regained per tick.
Default: 0. 025
### `stagger:stagger_length`
The number of seconds the shield will be disabled for, rounded down to the tick.
### `stagger:poise_damage`
A multiplier for the amount of poise damage an attacker will apply for blocking.
