About this project
What does More Shield Variants add?
More Shield Variants
Not only can you now craft a shield of every wood type, there is also two options for each shield variant's texture.
On one hand there are custom textures unique to each different wood type designed by hypothetiKal, and then there is also a more traditional texture which is simply a recolored version of the original shield texture (which is now used as the texture of the Spruce Shield).
The texture (custom or vanilla-like) can be selected for each shield individually via the mod's config file or simply using Mod Menu.

^All textures on display - cycling through custom and vanilla-like - using More Armor Stand Variants.^
Adding 11 new shield items and 23 new shield textures to Minecraft!
If you're interested in Shield variants not only for different woods but also different tiers/materials, please check out IMB11's Extra Shields and my accompanying More Extra Shield Variants add-on adding wood variants for all Shields from Copper to Netherite.
