[MC-87949] The shield use statistic is not working

The bug

The scoreboard objective type minecraft.used:minecraft.shield does not work. I expected it to increase when a player blocks with a shield, however this is not the case.

How to reproduce

Type /scoreboard objectives add UseShield minecraft.used:minecraft.shield
Type /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar UseShield (to display value)
Type /scoreboard players set @s UseShield 0 (so the value is visible on sidebar)
Block with shield while taking damage from a mob
→ ❌ Notice the value hasn't increased

Code analysis

The following is based on decompiled version of Minecraft 1.9 using MCP 9.24 beta. All method and class names are the names used in the decompiled version.

The reason why the statistic value is not increasing is because the method net.minecraft.item.ItemShield.onItemRightClick(ItemStack, World, EntityPlayer, EnumHand) is not calling playerIn.triggerAchievement(StatList.func_188057_b(this));.

Logical_Cyclops 2016-01-28T16:59:42Z

This bug is still around in 16w04a.

Mithey 2016-02-04T21:09:30Z

The bug is still in 16w05b.

Logical_Cyclops 2016-02-29T05:09:38Z

Still in 1.9 pre release 4.

Logical_Cyclops 2016-02-29T21:02:53Z

I almost can't believe this bug made it's way all the up to 1.9's full release; Can't the mods like change the priority of tickets for bugs that needs mojang's attention?

Nathan 2016-04-10T05:17:09Z

Still in the latest snapshot. Can this be resolved soon? I am making a vanilla McMMO and want to be able to have players level it up by using the shield, not just breaking it.

user-f2760 2016-04-10T07:51:46Z

@unknown, for in the future, please say which version exactly, like 16w14a.

PearUhDox 2016-09-03T18:48:07Z

I can confirm that this bug still exists in the current snapshot, 16w35a.
Steps to reproduce: (Run in 16w35a)
1. Type /scoreboard objectives add UseShield stat.useItem.minecraft.shield
2. Type /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar UseShield (to display value)
3. Type /scoreboard players set @p UseShield 0 (so the value is visible on sidebar)
4. Take damage from any mob. The value does not increase.
Can this bug please be fixed for 16w36a? This is kind of annoying that this bug has been around since 1.9 and still has not been fixed.

(If this is considered a necro-post, I apologize. I just really would like to see this bug fixed.)

@unknown shouldn't step 4 be "Block with your shield"?

PearUhDox 2016-09-04T17:05:47Z

Yes, step 4 should be block with shield while taking damage from a mob. My bad.

PearUhDox 2017-05-09T00:40:29Z

Can confirm this bug still exists in 17w18b, the current 1.12 snapshot, using the steps provided above in the description.

Brenden Smith 2017-06-17T17:19:51Z
