NEW SHIELD VARIANTS SUMMARY

Initially, this mod was designed to add shields made of different materials, and of course, with different hardnesses, such as minerals. But when developing it, we realized the full potential of the mod, and therefore, we have added some shields with effects.

Shields with added effects:

  • Ender Shield: a powerful shield which teleports your enemies away from you.
  • Blaze Shield: ignite your attackers without fighting back.
  • Fire Charge Shield: which sends a projectile at your enemies every time you block.
  • TNT Shield: Throw a dynamite every time the shield is used
  • Dragon Shield: Slows down enemies temporarily with slow effects.
  • Shulker Shield: every time the shield is used, the player will levitate.

NEW SHIELD VARIANTS F.A.Q

Is the hardness of the shields different?

Each shield has a durability according to the manufacturing material, being, for example, the diamond one much better than the stone one. In any case, we plan to make big changes in future updates.

The shields give new effects, or are they just those from Minecraft?

Some shields, such as Shulker's, give a levitation effect, but there are many others according to their manufacturing material that are not effects as such. For example, the TNT launcher.

Does it work on servers?

Can this mod be used in modpacks?

Of course! As long as it is published only on Modrinth or CurseForge. Uploading it to any other platform would be violating our rights and is not allowed at all.

However, we are really grateful if you consider adding it to your Modrinth or CurseForge modpack. If you need any small changes or have any questions, contact us!
