AMinecraftplayer created four shield concepts and shared their ideas with the community.Minecraftis a popular game for exploration and exciting combat. To survive mobs, which can be quite strong, players have different weapons and gear at their disposal.
At the start of the game, the axe is a highly useful tool forMinecraftplayers to obtain wood, and it can be improvised as a weapon in the event of an unexpected encounter with a spider or even a Creeper. WhenMinecraftplayers find diamonds, one of the first things many do is craft a chestplate, protecting the upper part of their character. Recently, a member of theMinecraftcommunity showed what it would be like if the game had more kinds of gear for players to use in their adventures.
On theMinecraftsubreddit, user Diamond_JMS shared their concepts for four types of shields. The first is a buckler, a shield that does not slow down the player and blocks half of melee damage, but does not prevent them from being hit by projectiles. The wooden shield, on the other hand, is ideal forMinecraft’searly gamebecause it is inexpensive and still prevents half of all physical damage. The iron shield is largely the same as the shield in the base game, but using it to parry an imminent attack knocks back the attacker and stuns their weapon. Suitable for the late game, the Netherite shield has greater durability, fire resistance, and uses trims instead of banners.
In addition to showcasing their shield concepts, the OP gave ideas for four new types ofMinecraftenchantments. Pummeling adds an extra knockback to parrying, while Reflection makes the player able to throw projectiles in the direction they were shot from. Stun makes a weapon’s stun time longer; if the attacker is a mob, it stuns itself and temporarily forgets about the player. Finally, with the Respite enchantment, successfully parrying recovers a small amount of health.
Minecraftplayers reacted to the post with over 5,400 upvotes and 118 comments, leaving their thoughts on the concepts. One Redditor suggested another type of enchantment that would negate knock back while defending. Others think that replacingMinecraft’s banner patternswith armor trims would make Netherite shields less interesting. Mojang does not indicate it has any plans to introduce new shields, but withMinecraftreceiving frequent updates, players wait to see if new equipment will be added in future patches.
