Frequently asked questions

What does the Shield Fixes Mod actually change?
It fixes two vanilla shield bugs: the wrong hurt sound playing when you attack a blocking player, and the animation glitch where a blocking player's shield doesn't visibly raise for others. Everything else about shields works the same as vanilla.
Do I need to do anything to enable the fixes after installing?
No. The fixes are active as soon as the mod is loaded, both in singleplayer and on servers that have it installed. There are no toggles or config options you need to touch to get the core behavior.
Why can I suddenly hear a sound when my shield gets disabled?
That's the mod's shield-disable sound cue, which plays when your shield is put on cooldown by an axe hit. It's there so you know immediately that you can't block for a moment, instead of finding out the hard way.
Does the mod work on a server, or only in singleplayer?
The sound and animation fixes need to be present on the server for other players to see and hear them correctly. In singleplayer it works out of the box; on multiplayer, the server has to have the mod too.
