About this project

What does Shield Gauntlets add?

If you're not reading this on Curseforge, I recommend going to Curseforge, I only released this there. Anything else might be suspicious, proceed at your own risk.

If you want your shields to obstruct your view less, want shields with built-in lighting or just like the aesthetic of a gauntlet more than a shield, then this is for you.

Currently adds 12 gauntlets to the game, two for each shield currently shown in the armorer's workbench.

They are based off of the same tier shield, including recipes, so the regular gauntlets only have visual changes compared to shields. Magelight variants emit light and additionally cost cyan crystal shards. The light radius and crystal shard requirement increase for higher tier gauntlets. Their looks are based off of their matching armor's hand armor, but slightly edited.

/!\ NOTE: This mod does not add a way to get mithril resources, so you'll need another mod to get those if you want to craft the mithril variant.

To-Do:

  • Keep visibility with two-handed items (if it's even possible possible in asset editor)
  • Add Onyxium and Prisma variants
  • Change recipe to allow any crystal shard instead of just blue
  • Change magelight version's recipe to require the normal gauntlet + crystal shards instead so you can just craft the regular version before upgrading it to magelight (last time I tried this it didn't work, but I didn't try much to fix it)
    • I might even just make the regular gauntlets crafted with a normal shield instead of the shield's materials for the same sake?
  • Change blocking sound to be more metallic (if I can do that just for the gauntlets)
  • Make magelight gauntlets create a translucent barrier while blocking (visual only, I have no idea if that's possible, so I don't expect much success here)
    • I would also like to change their block sound to be more magic-y if I can add this
  • Make a full arm variant of each (if I can attach it to the right arm parts, not sure if that is possible)
    • Hide arm clothing for the left arm for full arm variants (if possible to do on just one side)
  • Update the gallery with up-to-date recipes and light radius
  • See if I can fix the ordering in the crafting station (I want to fix it to always show shield > gauntlet > magelight)

I f you know how to do the armor hiding and / or the visibility remaining with two-handed items, or know for certain it's not possible, please leave me a comment about it.

Note: this is what I intend to do if I work on it again, I'm not promising that I will.


If you want to copy this for whatever reason, go right ahead, I don't really care what you do with it.
This is just me trying to get the hang of the asset editor, I don't expect to pay much attention to this or any comments in the future.
