Revamp your defense with an overhauled shield system that brings new layers of strategy to combat:

  • Damage Reduction on Block: Shields now reduce damage by a customizable percentage, instead of blocking 100% damage.
  • Passive Protection: Gain percentage-based damage reduction just by holding a shield in your offhand, even without actively blocking.
  • Customizable Shields: Different shields offer unique blocking and passive protection values.
  • Mod Compatibility: Automatically generates adjustable config entries for shields from other mods.

 

Also introduces 5 new enchantments exclusively for shields:

  • Blocking: Increases block damage reduction by up to 10%.
  • Last Resort: Grants a chance to gain absorption hearts when blocking at low health.
  • Blindness: Chance to blind attackers on a successful block.
  • Knockback: Chance to knock back attackers on block.
  • Slowness: Chance to slow attackers on block.

The shield stats are set through the config:

  • Set Damage Reduction on Block
  • Set Damage Reduction on hold
  • Set Blocking cooldown

Shields which are not configured yet do get automatically added with generated default values, depending on the shields durability.

The more the merrier, as this mod changes how shields works it is best paired with other mods which add new shields to the game, like Spartan Shields.

If you enjoy this mod consider supporting the development, any support is greatly appreciated.

The development is an unpaid free-time activity, so any support helps being able to spend more time on it.
