Most of the features are also configurable! ## ⭐Features * **Parrying**! Time your blocks just right and perform a parry, pushing back enemies and flinging back projectiles. * **Pummeling**, a new enchantment that increases parry knockback. * **Barbed**, a new enchantment which applies thorns onto your shield. * The **Netherite Shield**! A tough shield that's more durable, fire resistant, and grants some knockback resistance. * **Shield Trims!** The Netherite Shield utilizes armor trims, instead of banners for cosmetics. * **Instantaneous Blocking**! Shields will now block quicker, similar to the Combat Test snapshots. ## 👏 Contributors * Thanks to [Outer Cloud](https://modrinth.com/user/outercloudstudio) for creating the logo! * Thanks to [Chikorita Lover](https://modrinth.com/user/Chikorita-Lover) for their contributions to the Netherite Shield! * Thanks to [XKZGx](https://twitter.com/MEGATREX4) for Ukrainian localisations!
