Superior Shields - Personal Force Fields for Minecraft
The Superior Shields mod adds personal force fields to Minecraft, reminiscent of energy barriers from popular games like Borderlands and Halo. Simply place the shield in the special Curios slot - and you're ready for battle!
Variety of Defense Systems
You'll find shields made from various materials - both standard vanilla ones and those added by other mods. Each type has unique characteristics and special abilities. For example, a netherite shield with the "Shield Capacity" enchantment can withstand even the most powerful attacks, while an electrum shield with the "Amplify" enchantment deals additional damage to enemies at the cost of a slight reduction in defense durability.
Automatic Regeneration and Special Properties
Your Superior Shield automatically regenerates over time if you're not taking damage. The delay before regeneration starts, recovery speed, and total durability vary for each shield and are displayed in tooltips when hovering the cursor.
Shields can be enchanted with special abilities: "Nova" activates an area of effect when the shield is completely depleted, while "Spikes" apply effects to monsters that attack you. Some shields, such as the Fiery Shield from Twilight Forest, already have built-in abilities in addition to being enchantable.
