About Shield Sounds Backport
From ModrinthA server-side mod adds shield breaking and blocking sounds, which are exactly the same as in Minecraft 1.21.5

In 1.21.5, Mojang fixed the long-existing bug that shield blocking and breaking sounds are only heardable by the blocker. This mod brings back that fix to earlier Minecraft version.
