Shield Mod
Shield Mod, by LostMindsCreative, adds three new craftable shields for Fabric in 1.21.
What it does
Three new shields can be crafted in the game: golden, diamond and netherite. A fireproof variant is included as well. The shields differ in appearance and purpose rather than in stats, and the author plans to add enchantments and animations later. Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. Its only published build is 1.0.0 for 1.21, released on 2024-08-05 on the beta channel, and it is not open source, under All rights reserved.
