Unstable smp Shields
by Ayham
Unstable SMP Shields adds the shield designs from the Unstable SMP, including Cinder Crest, as craftable and browsable items on Fabric servers.
What it does
Players open the UU Shields menu either by typing uushields in chat or from the Creative inventory, with no commands needed beyond that. The menu is a chest-style screen that matches the vanilla interface, so it feels like part of the base game. From there a player can pick one of the historic shield designs, and servers can hand these out to players with ease.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it and the server needs it alone. It is built to run smoothly and stay lightweight, and it works with UU Shields. Files target 1.21.11 under the MIT License, but the code is not open source. Fabric API is required and must be installed next to it.

How it compares
No Shield Glint is a client-side only Fabric mod under the MIT-0 license, and it is not open source, with versions 1.21 – 1.21.11. More Extra Shield Variants is open source under the MIT License, runs on client and server, and covers 1.21 – 1.21.1, so it sits on a different version range.
