Hey guys!
A few days ago my friends and I had a minecraft pvp war and during the war one of us said:
"Dude, you can block with a sword but why not just add shields and keep the ability to block with swords"
We all thought this was a good idea and I wanted to share it with you guys.
So the shields would provide blast protection, arrow protection and sword protection but from the front only. They would be have the same enchantments as armour and have the durability of the leggings of the material. So diamond shields would have the durability of diamond leggings. The sword blocking would work so that when someone hits near your sword and you're blocking your opponent's sword would fly back a bit from the block. The downside is you are slightly pushed back.
I think these ideas would make PvP a bit better. :smile.gif:
Only problem is that in minecraft you can only use one item at once. so with a shield you would have to constantly keep switching between sword and shield. this wouldn't be to bad though, so long as you keep them right next to each other in the tool bar

Along with the addition of shields a new equip region will be added.
There you will equip the shield and it will appear in your left hand.
edit: like this
along the lines of the left hand being useful, you should also be able to carry a torch to illuminate the surrounding area.
This would be nice but because minecraft is already a high CPU usage game the constant lighting updates would be intense and may cause low frame rate.
I'd love held torches to give off light though! :biggrin.gif:

Let me know what you think!
Yeah, I already knew the about the shields mod and I love it. I'd just love minecraft more overall if shields were added.
