Shield Banner Fix

by Darkhax

Shield Banner Fix corrects problems with banner patterns on shields, so the pattern a player applies to a shield displays as intended.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient required, server optionalAll rights reserved1.16.5 – 26.3

What it does

The mod targets the rendering and handling of banner patterns when they are applied to shields. Players who decorate shields with banners get patterns that behave as expected in the game. The client needs the mod, while a server can run without it. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3. It is not open source, and the code is under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Banner pattern fixes

    Corrects faults in how banner patterns are applied and shown on shields.

  2. Shield display

    Patterns on shields appear correctly, so decorated shields look as the player designed them.

  3. Client-side install

    Only the client needs the mod, and a server may run without it.

What the author says

This mod fixes an old "bug" that causes shields with banners to display inconsistently. With this mod installed the shield will display banner patterns with the same level of detail as a normal banner.
