Shields defensive tools introduced to minecraft in 2016 during the combat update of 1.9 is there much to know of these damage blocking tools well let’s find out shields are items used for blocking attacks ones that come in all types of varieties including melee attacks ranged projectiles and even some explosions Shields are best used in the offhand so you can therefore output damage with a weapon in your main hand to craft a shield you’ll need six wooden planks of any colour and a single iron ingot this is not a bad trade for an item that wields a durability of 337 Readying your shield for blocking will cause you to slow down to a sneaking pace soon after readying a shield all blockable attacks that come from in front of the shield will deal no damage making the shield a vital tool for defense the stronger the attack that is successfully blocked by a shield the More durability damage the shield is going to take a creeper’s explosion is commonly known to be a shield destroyer but is usually worth it as it may save your life shields have the unique ability to completely nullify attacks with the knockback effect except for explosions in which the shield will still reduce The effect of the knockback considerably when successfully blocking an attack that would otherwise set you on fire the shield will prevent you from being ignited this effect with a shield also works with attacks with poison as well however splash potions of poison still pose a threat shields can actually block The majority of damage from a guardian’s laser attack using a shield underwater may also come in handy when versing drowned with tridents as they can be thrown at you to deal significant damage when arrows hit a shield they can ricochet off the shield and either land On blocks or hit other mobs or players as strong as shields are they can sometimes be disabled for 5 seconds when attacked by an axe the chance of this disabling effect can be increased by sprinting and attacking with an axe or by the level of efficiency enchanted on The axe shields can actually receive a few enchantments but only through the use of enchanted books with an anvil a shield with the unbreaking enchantment increases the durability of the shield a shield with the mending enchantment will automatically have portions of its durability repaired when picking up Experience orbs if a shield has the curse of vanishing enchantment the shield will not drop upon death shields also prevent damage from the thorns enchantments which would normally deal damage back to the attacker one of the coolest aspects about shields is the fact that they can be decorated From using a huge variety of possible patterns to do this you’ll need to create a designer on a banner first and combine it with a shield to give it a unique design however unlike banners shields cannot be repainted nor washed using a cauldron as the shield is Classed as a tool if its durability is running low you can repair the shield by combining it with another shield one that’s of course ideally damaged too this can be done on a player crafting grid crafting table or the anvil by also using an anvil a shield can be renamed At the cost of a small amount of experience remember knowledge is power so if you’re interested to learn about other items and even mobs in minecraft feel free to request an episode that you’d like to see down in the comment section i also have an entire playlist of episodes Already awaiting your curious mind the link for that is ready for you in the description but before i leave you it is time once again for the trivia question do arrows that ricochet of shields still deal full damage to entities they hit hello again it’s me just letting you Know that if you’re keen to show your support and want to see more videos from me simply hitting the like button helps out immensely if you do here’s a virtual high five okay bye Video Information
