Ghost Shield
Ghost Shield is a lightweight resource pack compatible with all Minecraft versions since the shield's release. It adds the two following features.
Hidden Shield:
The shield is not visible when it's held in the offhand and not in use. It'll show again when blocking.
Lower Shield:
Ghost Shield lowers the shield in first-person for better visibility.
