  • Pummeling, a new enchantment that increases parry knockback.
  • Barbed, a new enchantment which applies thorns onto your shield.
  • The Netherite Shield! A tough shield that's more durable, fire resistant, and grants some knockback resistance.
  • Shield Trims! The Netherite Shield utilizes armor trims, instead of banners for cosmetics.
  • Instantaneous Blocking! Shields will now block quicker, similar to the Combat Test snapshots.
