Shield Overhaul

Shield Overhaul is a vanilla+ style modification that significantly expands shield capabilities in Minecraft. The mod adds completely new mechanics including powerful shield bashes and parrying techniques.

Development was inspired by and perfectly complements the Better Combat mod by daedelus.

Main Features

Powerful Shield Bash

When attacking while blocking, you perform a quick forward dash followed by a powerful shield strike. Hitting a target causes stun for a configurable duration.

Parrying Technique

Blocking now opens a small time window (configurable) during which successful parrying of an attack also stuns the opponent.

Compatibility

The mod is fully compatible with all modifications that add shields working on vanilla principles.

Flexible Configuration

All parameters can be customized to your preferences. Development was conducted with modpack usage in mind, so Shield Overhaul will fit perfectly into any configuration.

Additional Features

• Stun when shield bashing or parrying (configurable)
• Stun immunity after receiving the effect to prevent control chains (configurable)
• Cooldown after shield bash and right-click spam (both parameters configurable)
• Option to enable stun immunity for bosses
• Instant shield blocking (version 1.0.1 and above, can be disabled)
