More Shields
More Shields adds six themed shields to Forge and NeoForge, each with its own effect that triggers when a player blocks an attack.
What it does
Each of the six shields applies a different effect on a successful block. The Fire Shield sets the attacker on fire, a knockback shield launches the attacker into the air, and a freezing shield can trap enemies inside powdered snow blocks with a 50% chance. A lightning shield has a 50% chance to call a bolt onto the attacker, and the Ender Shield applies five seconds of Glowing so the attacker stays visible through walls. A single-use shield kills the attacker outright when it blocks, but it is expensive to craft.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4. The latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released 2025-12-07, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.4, released 2025-12-23. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source.
