A '''shield''' is a defensive [[Minecraft:tool]] that can be used to block 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.

For the {{{Description}}} of the same name, see [[{{{Destination}}}]].

Template:Infobox item 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.

Usage

Defense

Shields are used for Minecraft:blocking incoming attacks. Template:ControlTemplate:Only or Template:ControlTemplate:Only causes a player to slow to a Minecraft:sneaking pace, and after Template:Convert<ref>Template:Bug</ref>, non-piercing attacks coming from in front of the player are blocked, dealing no damage. Shields deal knockback when blocking melee attacks, unless the entity is immune to knockback.Template:Only When the shield blocks an attack of Template:Hp or stronger, it takes durability damage equal to the strength of the attack rounded up. When a player enters a boat, their shields exhibit the blocking animation.

Most blocked projectiles that carry status effects (such as Minecraft:shulker bullets, flaming Minecraft:arrows, or tipped arrows Template:Only), do not affect the blocker, while the effects of tipped arrow still applies.Template:Only Minecraft:Channeling tridents still summon lightning upon blocking, but the trident itself does not damage the player.Template:Only Minecraft:Tridents and arrows can be deflected into other targets. Knockback from melee attacks and projectiles is prevented, while knockback from Minecraft:explosions, Minecraft:hoglin, Minecraft:zoglin, and Minecraft:ravager attacks are significantly reduced. Template:Only

The shield directionally blocks all attacks coming from within the horizontal direction the wielder is facing, providing a full semicylinder of coverage to them. Pitch is unaccounted for.

Mobs that deal continuous contact damage such as the Minecraft:slime, Minecraft:magma cube, and Minecraft:blaze rapidly drain the shield's durability for as long as the shielded player remains within the mob's hitbox.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Blockable attacks

Attacks that can be blocked include:

Unblockable attacks

Attacks that cannot be blocked include:

Laser beam attacks from Minecraft:guardians and Minecraft:elder guardians are only partially blocked (does not block the magic damage they deal).

Disabling

  • All of a user's shields are disabled for 5 seconds if hit by an Minecraft:axe-wielding player while the user's shield is up.
  • Melee strikes from a warden or any axe-wielding mob (e.g., Minecraft:vindicators, Minecraft:piglin brutes, Minecraft:zombies, etc) also disable shields for 5 seconds.
  • A shield cannot be disabled during their 5 game tick blocking delay. The shield must be fully active to be disabled.

Applying patterns

Shields can be decorated by applying a Minecraft:banner.

Template:Crafting

Unlike with Minecraft:banners, shields cannot be repainted or washed in a Minecraft:cauldron. Shields have only half the resolution of banners, making patterns look slightly different. In the game files, the pattern textures can be found in a separate directory called entity/shield.

Template:IN, shields with patterns can also be obtained using the same commands as banners, except banner has to be replaced with shield.

Unit repair

Template:Main Template:Repairing

A shield can be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by adding Minecraft:planks or another shield. Shields repaired on anvils retain their pattern. One plank restores 25% of the shield's durability.Template:Verify

Enchantments

A shield can receive the following Minecraft:enchantments:

Name Description Max Level Method Weight
Minecraft:Unbreaking Grants a chance to negate durability consumption. III Template:BlockLink 5
Minecraft:Mending Repairs the shield when obtaining Minecraft:experience. I Template:BlockLink 2
Minecraft:Curse of Vanishing The shield vanishes upon death, not dropping as an item. I Template:BlockLink 1

Despite using iron in its crafting recipe, shields cannot be smelted into Minecraft:iron nuggets.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
