Asgard Shield: Reloaded

After a ten-month hiatus and 100k downloads (thank you all!), the team is back with a big release.

Backend Structure Change

• The mod is now built using Architectury API, which allows us to introduce Fabric support!
• NeoForge is still supported as with the 1.20 releases.

Configurability For Latest MC Versions

We are also now dependent on Resourceful Config, which allowed us to easily introduce a configuration for the mod. Currently you can change:

• The base knockback for mod items.
• The maximum block duration for mod items.
• The base damage mod items receive while used for blocking.
• Whether the equipping sound is played or not. You can access the config UI through the modloader mod menu of choice (Fabric players need ModMenu to see the UI).

Note: this only affects client behaviour - server owners will have to change values in the generated json config file, then restart the server for changes to take effect.

Loot Tables

We are adding a new feature to this release: Modifying loot chests in dungeons to include mod items. This should make things feel a bit more like Hexxit!

• In End Cities, find Ender or Gilded Ender Shields
• In Bastions, find Netherquartz Giant Swords, (Gilded) Netherquartz Shields
• In Buried Treasure chests, find Iron and Golden Giant Swords
• In Nether Fortresses, find Skull Giant Swords and Gilded Skull Shields
• In Stronghold Corridors, find Iron Giant Swords and Gilded Iron Shields
• In Ruined Portals, find Golden Giant Swords
• In Woodland Mansions, find Diamond Giant Swords and (Gilded) Diamond Shields
• In the Spawn Bonus Chest, find Wooden Swords and Shields

Bug Fixes & Improvements (compared to 1.20 versions)

• Fixed a bug where more than one active players in a world had the same mod item in their inventory, the item cooldown tracker would not increment.
• Fixed bugs where changing hotbar slots while blocking did not add cooldown to the items blocked with initially.
• Fixed being able to block with swords while they are “charging”.
• Fixed rendering bugs while beginning to block with mod items.
• Improved random teleportation of entities when using Ender Shields.
• Improved arrow reflection when using Diamond Shields.
• Improved particle effects when beginning to use Skull and Ender Mod Items.
