Guarding

Guarding 2.4.0, for Minecraft 1.20.1.

A small mod expanding shields with new enchantments, mechanics and more!

The author's own description, out of the mod's manifest. Quoted, not paraphrased.

Items

All 3 items and blocks — 1 have a page of their own, 2 are listed there as anchors. Which ones earn a page was decided once, in the cross-index, and is obeyed here rather than recomputed (D-022).

First 1 by name.

Progression

The mod's own advancement tree, as its author built it. The ordering is theirs; nothing here invents a progression (D-011).

• On Guard! Use a Netherite Ingot to upgrade a shield. 1 item
• Shielding with Style! Decorate a shield with a banner.
  • Parry This, You Casual! Kill a Skeleton or Pillager by parrying their own arrow.

Recipe types

Type	Recipes
guarding:smithing_transform_shield	1

A recipe file always lives under its shipping mod's namespace, so cross-mod support shows up in the recipe type, never the directory.

Dependencies

What the JAR declares it needs, exactly as written. The range is what the modloader itself enforces; it is not resolved to a build, because a range is stable and a resolution is perishable (D-019).

Mod	Declared range
fabric-api	*	required
fabricloader	>=0.14.21	required
java	>=17	required
minecraft	~1.20	required
