Elemental Shields
by PellucidDice
Elemental Shields adds regenerable shields to armour, with elemental types set by special enchantments on a chestplate.
What it does
Strengthening existing armour is the core of the mod: each piece gains an extra shield that regenerates over time. Some rare enchantments grant special perks, and putting these enchantments on a chestplate gives the shield a different elemental type. Some elements regenerate on their own, while others are restored by drinking a potion of a matching kind. The chestplate's armour value counts three times toward defence, at 12.0 points in total for the shield.
Installation needs Forge only, and the mod is published for 1.19.4, 1.20, 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with 1.5 for 1.20.2 as the latest file. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Regenerable armour shields
Existing armour gains extra shields that refill over time, so fights do not have to end the moment armour is worn down.
Enchantment-based elements
Rare enchantments on a chestplate give the shield a specific elemental type, each with its own perk.
Potion restoration
Some elements do not regenerate naturally and are refilled by drinking a matching potion instead.
