I hope they add more shields with shapes like this. Carrying around a giant rectangle just isn't that great to me.

I want kite shields

Make Banner shields a different type allowing for kite shields but also a decent one with a custom pattern without having loads of useless square shields.

Set pack format to 2 in the .mcmeta to make it "compatible" with 1.9

I did ;) new download should be compatible.

This is exacly how I hoped shields to be. I really want these in vanilla so bad

This is ace, and what I expected (and still want!) the shield to be like. I care not for putting banners on shields, but I think if mojang were to add these great looking shields then the banner variant should stay too.

This is what I was hoping for. The shields Even with banners Don't interest me.

RokojoM · 3 points · Posted at 07:31:48 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

This is far more interesting for the game's future than being able to put banners on your shield.

You can go much more in depth with these things and have much more interesting gameplay. Also the shields are pretty low resolution, unfortunately.

True, i dont even use banners but shields with features would make nice combat update.

These textures are gorgeous. Love the stone shield.

Thanks much! I put lots of time into 'em; glad you like it! :D

I feel like these shields should be vanilla along with the banner shields. These just bring so much variety, and are so much... Cooler.

Wow. These textures are truly impressive. Hats off to you, Sir.

Textures are by /u/zeldahuman :)

Wouldn't these not work though? IIRC arrows from players can be completely stopped as long as they hit the shield. So since some of these don't cover the same area as the original design, wouldn't it be a bit weird to use them? I might be completely wrong, but idk

🎙️ VinciHD · 0 points · Posted at 06:35:43 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

As resource pack ... it only changes visuals , hit box is same.

Stickfigureguy · 2 points · Posted at 06:52:31 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

Yeah exactly. The hit box is the same, so if you're trying to shoot another person while using this resource pack, you might end up hitting the hit box because some of these shields don't cover the whole hit box area.

🎙️ VinciHD · 1 points · Posted at 06:59:44 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

But at same time i think arrows dont even hit shields ... only if you get hit from behind you will take demage .. front and sides will always block.

GiacomInox · 1 points · Posted at 11:39:24 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

You made my new sketch possible <3

🎙️ VinciHD · 2 points · Posted at 12:20:58 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

How so, where can i see it?

GiacomInox · 3 points · Posted at 12:23:22 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

Here.

I needed to retexture the shield, but I could't figure out how.

🎙️ VinciHD · 2 points · Posted at 14:44:43 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

Oh sweet ;) cant see video right now i will check it later.

ZoraFoxii · 1 points · Posted at 02:09:34 on August 18, 2015 · (Permalink)

can someone make me a .json file for the sheild texture i made in my drive https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByOSFijJ6UMLT3ZSOURoQk9sd28 i would really appreciate it

🎙️ VinciHD · 1 points · Posted at 08:44:40 on August 18, 2015 · (Permalink)

Just use imgur so ppl can see what you want.

ZoraFoxii · 1 points · Posted at 16:19:54 on August 18, 2015 · (Permalink)*

k used imgur here is link Imgur I'm new to this usually i just do these kinds of things myself but I'm in over my head because i can't figure out how to make the pixels surround the outside of the shield

🎙️ VinciHD · 1 points · Posted at 23:02:53 on August 16, 2015 · (Permalink)

Pls. read stuff above and under images for info.

Slime shield

Any damage done on the defender will be brought back on the attacker

Bright-Spark · 4 points · Posted at 04:49:25 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

Sounds more like a spiked/cactus shield to me.

Maybe projectiles bounce off with a slime shield?

Moustachable · 2 points · Posted at 07:09:59 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

your sword getting stuck in the slime giving you mining fatigue

🎙️ VinciHD · 1 points · Posted at 12:46:59 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

All the minigames that we could make with these shields ......

And Jeb is just mailing it in...

ShaneH7646 · 1 points · Posted at 22:48:53 on August 16, 2015 · (Permalink)

So you decided to give some credit? Well done

🎙️ VinciHD · 3 points · Posted at 22:58:18 on August 16, 2015 · (Permalink)

I never said i wouldnt, i just didnt know ... if i did know i would do it first time :)

Krafter640 · 0 points · Posted at 22:10:54 on August 16, 2015 · (Permalink)

Woah! How did you manage to make different models for different shields? Can each color be assigned a texture? Awesome work!

🎙️ VinciHD · 2 points · Posted at 22:19:02 on August 16, 2015 · (Permalink)

No its still beta and i'm trying to figure out stuff, they don't support banners or color but maybe someone can figure out before me how to make them work. For now they are just different resource packs.

MidnyteSketch · 2 points · Posted at 01:27:08 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

with the new changes to models and data values you could give a certain damage a certain model, but it'd change as soon as you damage the shield more.

🎙️ VinciHD · 1 points · Posted at 13:26:26 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

I checked nbt files for shields and they have pattern file but idk how to use nbt files .. i think that i could overlay base texture with some blending options depending on nbt tags if i understood nbt files... also in future update they will add different textures for mobs so i will have to check how it works and apply it to shields :) i hope i make some sence.

MidnyteSketch · 1 points · Posted at 16:18:16 on August 17, 2015 · (Permalink)

Hopefully in the future we could just have some sort of data value separate from damaging that works with all blocks and items to have tons of models for one block.

No mirror shield? Aww...

I'd like obsidian shield to be added in the coming snapshot.
