Spartan Shields is a mod for Minecraft that adds a variety of new shields to the game.
Getting started:
Right from the outset, you can craft the Crude Wooden Shield as soon as you punch some trees! This has changed in version 3.0.0, now requiring only 4 planks instead of 6
Alternatively, you can make a Wooden Tower Shield which allows you to apply banners to them!
Wood won't cut it for long, so you can upgrade it when you get new materials. Note: The Wood Shield you use must be undamaged for this to work!
The same can be done with the Wood Tower Shield as well! This has changed in version 3.0.0, these now require six of the appropriate material
The Shields you can make this way (with no other mods) are the following:
- Stone Braced Shield & Stone Tower Shield
- Iron Plated Shield & Iron Tower Shield
- Gold Gilded Shield & Gold Tower Shield
- Diamond Reinforced Shield & Diamond Tower Shield
- Bulky Obsidian Shield & Obsidian Tower Shield -> Increased Knockback Resistance + Slower movement speed
Common Modded Material Support:
Depending on other mods you have running and the materials which are contained within them, more recipes will become available for you to use.
The following require any mod with a valid OreDictionary [1.12.2 and below] or vanilla Tag [1.13.2 and above] entry for their respective ingots:

Most shields can be enchanted using an Enchanting Table, unlike the vanilla Shield. The exceptions are the RF/FE Powered Shields.
The following enchantments can be applied to them:
- Unbreaking [Vanilla]
- Knockback [Vanilla] -> Used to enhance Shield Bash knockback power
- Spikes - Max Levels: 3 - Gives a chance to inflict damage to any mob which hits the Shield when blocking
New in 2.1.0 (for 1.14.4):
- Firebrand - Max Levels: 2 - Shield bashing causes the hit target to catch on fire. Higher levels causes the target to be on fire for longer
- Payback - Max Levels: 4 - Blocking absorbs about 50% of damage into the shield. This boosts damage of the Shield Bash. Higher levels increases the max damage that the Shield can absorb by 2 points per level
Requires Java 8!
