Skeleton Banging Shield
by Parwar
Skeleton Banging Shield adds a shield-carrying skeleton that spawns naturally in the Overworld and is the mod's only added entity.
What it does
The entity keeps a sword and shield in hand, and an animation plays as a player approaches it. It behaves much like a Zombie or Wither Skeleton, but without the Wither effect, and it does not burn in sunlight. Players on Fabric 1.21.4 need the mod on the client and on the server, since the environment is client and server. The license is the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Natural Overworld spawns
The skeleton appears naturally in the Overworld, so players meet it while exploring without any command or setup.
Approach animation
An animation starts when a player nears the skeleton, which holds an iron sword and a shield.
Zombie-like behavior
The skeleton acts similarly to a Zombie or Wither Skeleton, but it applies no Wither effect and does not burn in the sun.
