More Shield Variants
Not only can you now craft a shield of every wood type, there is also two options for each shield variant's texture. On one hand there are custom textures unique to each different wood type designed by hypothetiKal, and then there is also a more traditional texture which is simply a recolored version of the original shield texture (which is now used as the texture of the Spruce Shield). > _The texture (custom or vanilla-like) can be selected for each shield individually via the mod's config file or simply using Mod Menu._
All textures on display - cycling through custom and vanilla-like - using More Armor Stand Variants.
Adding 11 new _Shield_ items and 23 new _Shield_ textures to Minecraft!
How can I craft vanilla Shields using modded wood types from Biomes o' Plenty, [Let's Do] mods, and others?
Unfortunately, the vanilla Shield crafting recipe has to be overridden for the crafting of the variants to function.But usually these mods add their wood types to the Vanilla recipe, which creates a conflict. Fortunately, there is also a fairly easy way around this issue.
That is what the "More Compatibility Variants" are for:
These datapacks/mods resolve this issue across all of our "More X Variants" mods, so you can craft shields and other vanilla items/blocks just as you would expect.
Currently available _More Compatibility Variants_:
- Biomes o' Plenty
- [[Let's Do] Meadow, (Nether)Vinery, Beachparty and Blooming Nature](https://modrinth.com/datapack/more-compatibility-variants-lets-do)
- Nature's Spirit
- Oh The Biomes We've Gone
Would you like to see support for another mod with custom wood types? Let me know via Discord, GitHub, or E-Mail!
