Shield Hider

ShieldHider 1.2.0

Added

• New builds: Fabric 1.19.2, Forge 1.19.2, Forge 1.21.1 and Forge 1.21.11. They hide the held shield in first person exactly like the other builds.
• Each new build checks the shield tag of its own loader and Minecraft version: c:shields on Fabric 1.19.2, forge:tools/shields on Forge 1.19.2, c:tools/shield on Forge 1.21.1 and 1.21.11.

Changed

• Fabric builds now require Fabric API and Architectury API. NeoForge builds require Architectury API. Forge builds need nothing beyond Forge.
• Fabric 26.1.2 now requires Fabric Loader 0.19.5 or newer: the current Architectury API crashes the game at startup on older loaders.
• Every jar is for exactly one Minecraft version. In 1.1.x the Forge 1.20.1 jar also accepted later 1.20.x releases, and the NeoForge 1.21.1 and 1.21.11 jars accepted any later Minecraft. That is no longer the case.

Fixed

• A malformed escape in config/shieldhider.properties (a \u not followed by four hex digits, for example a stray backslash in front of a u) crashed the game when entering a world. The mod now logs a warning naming the file and ignores the file's lists until it is fixed. The vanilla shield, shield-type items and the conventional shield tags are still hidden.

Unchanged

• The same items are hidden as in 1.1.0.
• config/shieldhider.properties keeps its name, its four keys and their syntax.
• No Minecraft version or loader was removed.

Compatibility

• Client-side only on every loader: a server does not need the mod.
• Architectury API is accepted up to, not including, its next major version. Forge and NeoForge are accepted within their own line.

Architectury API is required on Fabric and NeoForge only, never on Forge.
