Overview

Spartan Shields is a combat-focused mod built around one idea: Minecraft should have more than one shield. Vanilla gives you a single wooden shield; this mod replaces that limitation with a full armoury of 64 shields - 34 standard shields and 30 larger Tower Shields - crafted from materials that range from wood all the way up to netherite and popular modded metals.

Every shield blocks incoming attacks like the vanilla shield, but each tier is tougher than the last, and many shields carry special abilities that trigger when you block. On top of blocking, the mod adds a shield-bash attack and a set of shield-only enchantments, so a shield can defend you, punish attackers, and even push enemies back.

Because shields upgrade from a simple wooden base and use the same materials you already gather for armour and tools, the whole system fits neatly into normal survival progression - your shield grows in step with the rest of your gear.
