MC-102439Shield Desynchronises
Shield is supposed to show up to attacker:
The shield should show up as blocking for both players.
Shield only shows up for the attacker on the first hit:
The person attacking after they hit the person defending once, can no longer see that the person defending is blocking. This means that it's a guessing game whether or not your opponent is actually blocking, because there's no visual feedback.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a friend and have them hold a shield while you attack
2. Watch as after you hit them their shield will be considered blocking but they will not be performing the block animation to you.
As shown in the video, a fist will not make the shield disappear but any strike with a weapon will make the shield vanish from the attacker's view after the first strike.
Thank you for your time. 
P.S. The sparks are from a combat plugin we have, but it is not the issue and we have tested this on multiple different servers including a vanilla LAN.

Affects 18w21b and relates to MC-102439 and this bug might be the cause of it.
Hello, I'm just wondering if this ticket was skipped over by chance?
No, it's still open.
Sorry, there's just a lot of bugs and I didn't even see mine in the active list, was concerning me. Thank you for the reply!
This bug is bothering me so much. This error makes shields useless.
Mojang please fix this!
This bug has not been patched. Tests in 16w41a continue to have desync on shield use.
Is this still happening? We did changes in this area so this might be fixed.
Yes, this is still an issue, even on 1.12 Minecraft. Just tested this on a vanilla server.
I don't know how this got marked 'resolved' without my noticing, but this bug is still extant in 1.12.
And still in 1.12.2
Affects 18w21b
Affects 18w22a
Greg Milson, ticket is yours now
Please do not mark unreleased versions as affected.
You don't have access to them yet.
Fixed in 1.14.4? as i dont see this hapening for me. Might it be poor performance?
then make it to show up as priority, this is crucial for combat.
Is anyone able to reproduce in 1.14.4?
Fixed in 20w13a
