MCPE-150205Shield blocking is delayed
This is also currently being tracked on Java MC-100949.
Since at least 1.18 (according to other reports) there has been an issue with shields not instantly blocking any incoming damage when activated. This causes there to be a slight visual and practical delay when the shield is used.
Steps to reproduce:
- Spawn in a zombie and coax it into attacking you.
- With your shield in hand, try and block any attacks.
Observed results:
There'll be a slight delay between when the shield is first activated to when it starts blocking any damage.
Expected results:
The shield should immediately start blocking any damage when used.

Created Issue:
Blocking with a shield doesn't work for a brief period of time after blocking
When I initiate a block with a shield, a brief window of time of less than a second exists for an enemy mob to damage me while my shield is all the way up. This makes combat very annoying
