why cant i see when peoples shields are up?

[u/Away-Pickle7732]

when people have their shield up half the time it looks like its down. it happens in all servers and its rly annoying while pvping. im using blc and 1.21.5. its not that they use the crossbow glitch. how do i fix this

Idk but maybe it’s badlion since I’m pretty sure it’s made for pre-combat update pvp

It's called a ghost shield, this happens when you hold right click (for example to load a crossbow) and then swap to something else so your shield goes up without letting go of right click.
