Title

Overview:

Replaces shields with swords to simulate the classic 1.8 sword blocking mechanic.

Customizable textures:

Rename the shield to any sword name (e.g., "diamond sword") to change its texture according to the sword material. Supports over 10 languages, including:

  • English
  • Italian
  • Spanish
  • French
  • German
  • Russian
  • Chinese
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Portuguese

Requirements:

The resource pack works perfectly fine in vanilla; however, to unlock the full functionality of customizable sword textures when renaming shields, OptiFine or the CIT Resewn mod is required. Otherwise, the shield will default to the iron sword texture.
