Shields

Create custom shield designs with unique textures.

Style Toggle

Shields support a 2D/3D style toggle:

• 2D mode — Upload flat textures for the shield face and blocking state
• 3D mode — Upload custom JSON models for the shield and its blocking model

Texture Requirements (2D mode)

• Shield texture — PNG following Minecraft’s shield texture template
• Blocking texture — Optional alternate texture when blocking

Model Requirements (3D mode)

• Shield model — JSON model for the shield
• Blocking model — JSON model when blocking
• Textures — PNG textures referenced by the models

Configuration Options

• Shield Name — Internal identifier
• Display Name — In-game name
• Durability — Custom durability value
• Blocking model — Custom model when blocking

Tips

Use Blockbench’s shield template for properly mapped textures.

The 3D mode is recommended for shields with unique shapes that go beyond the vanilla flat design.
