What i would add to minecraft? everything is fine but thinking, shields should be added because they doesn't change the way you play the game.

those new shields can be crafted with wood, leather and iron with detailed edges made of iron, gold diamond.
every type of those shields can have the same usages of a sword.

why you should add shields, they are so much helper than the sword in case you need to protect yourself, they can be used agains all the mods just for protect yourself. an advantage is that the shield doesn't alter the way we play minecraft because is helpful and isn't a huge change like weapon could be.

i really think that this will be nice if its added if not what a shame. thanks for reading have a nice day.
