Amethyst Shield
by Herr_Chaos
Amethyst Shield is a Fabric and Quilt magic item mod that adds an upgraded shield, built from amethyst shards, copper ingots, oxiwine bolts and a sculk latch.
What it does
The mod adds a late-game shield meant for mobility and combat. Its abilities are charged up by moving around and then spent by blocking hits, and the item can complement a range of other skills in both player-versus-player and player-versus-environment play. The concept comes from the Blockixel Artistry series of Minecraft videos by a YouTuber, and the mod follows that idea.
Crafting starts from three amethyst shards, one shield, two copper ingots, two oxiwine bolts and one sculk latch, which are new items added alongside the shield. Fabric API is required, and Trinkets is optional. The mod is open source under the MIT License and bundles oωo (owo-lib) inside the jar. The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.3, with 12 release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 2.7.0 for 26.3, published on the beta channel. The latest Quilt file is 2.2.14 for 1.21.1.

Player-versus-player

How it compares
Amethyst Addon runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge with files for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 and is client and server, but its license is All rights reserved and it is not open source. Better Amethyst Tool Crafting is for Fabric and Quilt on 1.19.2 – 1.20.4, is server required with client optional, and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Copper Shields adds a server-side shield option under the MIT License and is open source, but it targets 1.21 – 26.2 rather than Amethyst Shield's range.
