Requires the library mod Collective.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

   This mod is part of The Vanilla Experience<\/span> modpack and Serilum’s Client Bundle<\/span> mod.<\/strong>
Passive Shield is a configurable mod which makes some changes to the shield mechanics. When a shield is held in the offhand and not in use, it will not be rendered. Whenever the player right-clicks to raise the shield, it will be shown again. When the shield is not raised, it will still negate some damage. By default 33% extra negation, but this can be changed in the config file.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The shield provides the same passive protection when held idle in the main hand.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Configurable:<\/span> ( how do I configure? )<\/span>
<\/strong>hideShieldWhenNotInUse<\/strong> (default = true): When enabled, the shield will be hidden unless a player presses right-click.<\/span>
passiveShieldPercentageDamageNegated<\/strong> (default = 0.3333, min 0.0, max 1.0): The percentage of damage that will be negated when a player is hit while holding a shield that’s not held high.<\/span><\/p>\n
