Bouclier
by stfbx
Bouclier, a Fabric equipment mod, adds three shields crafted from wood, stone and iron, each with its own look and level of protection.
What it does
Bouclier introduces three new shields, each made from a different material and given its own appearance and feel. The wooden shield is the entry option, light and simple to craft early on. The stone shield is heavier and more durable, giving stronger protection in harder fights. The iron shield serves as a mid-game upgrade that balances toughness with usability.
The mod requires Fabric API and Shield Lib, both of which must be installed alongside it. Bouclier runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its files are published for Fabric only, across 10 release versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the mod open source.
