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. | A '''shield''' is a defensive [[Minecraft:tool]] that can be used to block [[Minecraft:damage]] from melee attacks, ranged attacks and explosions.

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:
- Melee attacks from all sources. When blocking melee attacks from axe-wielding players, axe-wielding mobs, and Minecraft:wardens, only a single attack can be blocked before a shield is disabled for 5 seconds.
- Status effects do not carry through to the blocker.
- Normal, tipped, and spectral Minecraft:arrows
- Arrows other than Minecraft:Piercing are deflected and can hit other targets.
- Status effects do not carry through to the blocker.
- Flaming arrows
- Burning does not carry through to the blocker.
- Thrown Minecraft:tridents
- Minecraft:Snowballs and Minecraft:eggs
- Spines from Minecraft:pufferfish
- Bullets from Minecraft:shulkers
- The Levitation effect does not carry through to the blocker.Template:Only
- Spit from Minecraft:llamas
- Minecraft:Fireballs, such as from Minecraft:blazes and Minecraft:fire charges
- Burning does not carry through to the blocker.
- Direct hits from Minecraft:ghast Minecraft:fireballs
- These still cause environmental damage.
- All explosionsTemplate:Only
- Explosion damage from Minecraft:creepers
- Minecraft:TNT that another player lit
- Skull attacks from the Minecraft:wither
- Minecraft:Ravager headbutts
- These still knock the blocker back by about 3 blocks.
- Blocking these strikes has a chance to stun the ravager for a moment, and it roars afterward.
- Ravager roars are blocked but still knock back the blocker.
- Minecraft:Bee stings are blocked, but bees continuously attack until the player stops blocking and the player is stung.
Unblockable attacks
Attacks that cannot be blocked include:
- Arrows from a Minecraft:crossbow enchanted with Minecraft:Piercing
- This does not reduce the shield's durability.
- Lightning, even from Channeling tridents
- Status effects from splash/lingering Minecraft:potions, Minecraft:evokers' fangs, or breath from the Minecraft:ender dragon
- Warden's sonic boom attack
- Minecraft:Fall damage, including that from Minecraft:ender pearls
- This also includes when the player rides an Minecraft:entity that died due to fall damage.
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.
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.
Repairing
Combining
Template:Crafting Template:Grinding
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>
