Shields
Banner patterns render on shields, too! Craft a banner with any pattern, combine it with a shield, and your emblem is displayed pixel-perfect at 100% scale – the pattern now fills the shield face exactly 1:1, with no shrinking, stretching, or off-centre artifacts.
Epic Knights Compatibility
Full support for Epic Knights (magistuarmory) shields! Patterns render correctly on all paintable Epic Knights shield types – Heater, Kite, Round, Elliptical, Tartsche, and Pavese – each with its own precisely calibrated shape so the pattern matches the shield silhouette perfectly. The overlay is layered on top of Epic Knights' own renderer, so both mods play together without visual conflicts.
