Shield Hider

1.1.0

Detection

• First-person hiding is no longer limited to minecraft:shield
• An item is treated as a shield if it is minecraft:shield, uses the game’s shield item type (ShieldItem), is in that build’s conventional shield item tag(s), or is listed in the config
• Items are not guessed by name, model, or tooltip — otherwise only the config can hide them

Configuration

• New file: config/shieldhider.properties (written with comments on first launch)
• extra_shield_items, extra_shield_tags — hide these in addition to the built-in rules
• force_visible_items, force_visible_tags — stay visible even when a rule matches (including minecraft:shield)
• Comma-separated entries; tags may omit #; bare ids default to minecraft:
• Read once per launch

Compatibility

• No new required/optional/suggested mod dependencies beyond loader + Minecraft
• Modded shields work via item type, tags, and config when their mod is installed
• Untouched config + vanilla shield: same hide conditions as 1.0.0

Builds

• Forge 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.21.11 jars are part of this release
