	A '''shield''' is a defensive [[Minecraft:tool]] that can be used to block [[Minecraft:damage]] from melee attacks, ranged attacks and explosions. Shields are temporarily disabled when hit by an [[Minecraft:axe]] or attacked by a [[Minecraft:warden]] while blocking, and certain damage sources ignore a shield's protection. Shields can have ornamental [[Minecraft:banner]] designs applied to them.
