Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

⬇ Download for 1.17–1.17.1⬇ Download for 1.16.5⬇ Download for 1.16–1.16.4
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Passive Shield is a configurable mod which makes some changes to the shield mechanics. When a shield is held in the offhand and not in use, it will not be rendered. Whenever the player right-clicks to raise the shield, it will be shown again. When the shield is not raised, it will still negate some damage. By default 33% extra negation, but this can be changed in the config file.

 

The shield provides the same passive protection when held idle in the main hand.


Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
hideShieldWhenNotInUse (default = true): When enabled, the shield will be hidden unless a player presses right-click.
passiveShieldPercentageDamageNegated (default = 0.3333, min 0.0, max 1.0): The percentage of damage that will be negated when a player is hit while holding a shield that's not held high.
