QuiltAbout the Passive Shield 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.
All available config options:
Show Spoiler
hideShieldWhenNotInUse default true When enabled, the shield will be hidden unless a player presses right-click.
passiveShieldPercentageDamageNegated default 0.3333, min 0.0, max 1.0 The percentage of damage that will be negated when a player is hit while holding a shield that's not held high.
