The bug
Ever since the beginning of 1.14 snapshots, mobs wouldn't get knocked back when a player is blocking with a shield.
Here are some screenshots from the current version (1.13.2) and current snapshot (19w14b)
1.13.2:
- Vindicators
- Piglin (New Mob in 1.16.x)
- Zombie Pigman/Zombified Piglin (renamed in 1.16.x)
- Zombie Villager
- Zombie
- Husk
- Drowned
- Wolf
- Wither Skeleton
- Enderman
- Spider & Cave Spider
- Silverfish
- Slime and Magma Cube
These mobs do knockback when you're blocking.
19w14a & b and beyond of 1.14 - 1.16:
The mobs I said above don't do knockback in the current version(s).
However, this doesn't affect to Creeper/TNT explosions, as you still do knockback from it. And arrows from Skeletons/Strays will still bounce of the shield.
