Shield by Side Resource Pack cleans up your screen by moving the shield out of your way. When you hold a shield in your off-hand, it usually blocks a big part of your view. This pack changes how you hold the item so it rests down by your side. Now you can see more of the world in front of you while still staying safe from attacks.

Features:

Better View: Moves the shield model down to your side so it blocks less of your screen.
Matches the third-person view, making your character look the same from any camera angle.
Gives you more clear space on your monitor to spot enemies and blocks.
Keeps all normal shield blocking mechanics exactly the same as before.
