About this Mod

This mod makes it so that entities can now collide with shield and get pushback a bit,
you can edit the amount of knockback along with horse stopping force and stagger by editing the shieldwall.toml in the config folder.
It makes so that when blocking with a shield entities cannot phase through each other.

This mod's newest version now supports modded shields like epic knights.

I made this mod so it runs independantly but i made it mainly for the Villager recruits mod do check it out as well :)
Feel free to dm me on discord- "amigokilo88" for any queries, suggestions or bugs.

Hope you enjoy this mod. If you like it maybe check out my other mods too <3

Frequently Asked Questions

Shieldwall server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge 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 Shieldwall compatible with forge?

Shieldwall officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Shieldwall – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Shieldwall consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
