About this Mod

         

 

Shield Overhaul is a vanilla+ shield expansion mod that adds slamming, parrying and other various mechanics.

Inspired from and designed to be used along Better Combat by daedelus.

 

Forge works thanks to Sinytra Connector. Was tested working without any issues present.

 

  

🛡️ Shield Slamming 🛡️

Attacking while blocking will make you quickly dash forward and slam with your shield,

stunning the target you hit for a configurable time.

 

⚔️ Parrying ⚔️

Blocking will now open a small configurable time window where the attack will also stun the target.

 

🌎 Compatibility 🌎

Shield Overhaul is compatible with every mod that adds shields based on vanilla's behavior!

 

⚙️ Configurability ⚙️

All values are configurable to bring the mod at your liking.

The mod was designed with modpacks in mind so the mod can fit in all kinds of modpacks.

 

 

Other misc features

  • Stunning when bashing / parrying (Configurable)
  • Stun immunity after being stunned to avoid CC chains with bashes (Configurable)
  • Cooldowns when bashing or spamming right click (Both configurable)

Frequently Asked Questions

Shield Overhaul server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Shield Overhaul compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?

Shield Overhaul officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.20.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Shield Overhaul – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Shield Overhaul consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
