Not Simple Shields

Each new shield is crafted from its own recipe and behaves differently when it blocks or is used. The Diamond Shield is a durable shield that resists breaking, and the Netherite Shield is the most durable of the set. Other shields act on the attacker: the Creeper Shield pushes the opponent into the air with a small explosion, the Ice Shield freezes an enemy for a few seconds to allow an escape, the Spiked Shield deals damage to an opponent when blocking, and the Lava Shield sets the opponent alight for a few seconds.

The Ender Shield teleports the player to a nearby location up to 10 blocks away after a successful block made while crouching. The invisibility-and-speed shield makes the player invisible and fast for a few seconds to allow an escape. The Absorption Shield grants absorption when an opponent hits it, up to a maximum of 50 absorption damage, and releases the stored value in the next hit against a mob. The Experience Shield gives some experience instantly after a successful block.

The mod is built for NeoForge and targets 1.21.1 only. It runs on the client and the server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
