About the mod

Passive Shield is a configurable mod which makes some changes to the shield mechanics. When a shield is held in the offhand and not in use, it will not be rendered. Whenever the player right-clicks to raise the shield, it will be shown again. When the shield is not raised, it will still negate some damage. By default 33% extra negation, but this can be changed in the config file.

 

The shield provides the same passive protection when held idle in the main hand.
