No Shield Glint
No Shield Glint stops the enchantment shimmer from showing on shields held in the hand, for players who want shields to look plain.
What it does
The mod removes the enchanted glint from shields held in a player's hands. Only the client needs it, so players join servers without installing anything. It requires Fabric and runs with the dependencies listed on its page. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0+mc1.21.10 for 1.21.11 as the latest build, released under MIT-0 and not open source.
Key features
Held shields without glint
Shields held in the hand lose the enchantment shimmer, while their base texture stays unchanged.
Other items keep the glint
The effect stays visible on dropped items, in inventories, item frames and shelves, so only held shields change.
Client-side setup
The mod runs on the client alone, and servers need no installation for players to use it.
