Shield progression - userofbricks/Expanded-Combat GitHub Wiki

the Shield progression is the most detailed part of this mod with lots of veriety and end results.

The current system is a 5 "slot" system with crafting done in the smithing table. All applied materials increase the durability of the shield with the amount changing based on the material. Each Material can be used to increase or decrease the shields mending capability once the mending enchantment is applied. Materials can get replaced however you do not get the previous material back. Some materials require specific materials to already be on the shield in order to be placed on it. an example of this is netherite which requires diamond before it and will only replace diamond. materials such as netherite (currently netherite is the only one) only require one ingot to replace all diamond slots in the shield. if you have jei installed you will se these recipes with it.
