This datapack grants players wielding shields with banner patterns in their off hand special buffs, giving a reason to add banners to shields beyond cosmetic purposes, as well as giving players a datapack for getting buffs from something held in the offhand slot without the need of a resource pack.
The specific buff is determined by the base color of the banner pattern applied. The list of potential buffs can be found down below.
