I never ever expected the mod to be as 'popular' as it now is - massive thanks from the AS:R team!

What's New - 3.0.1

After a ten-month hiatus and 100k downloads (thank you all!), the team is back with a big release.

Backend Structure Change

• The mod is now built using Architectury API, which allows us to introduce Fabric support!
• NeoForge is still supported as with the 1.20 releases.

Configurability For Latest MC Versions

We are also now dependent on Resourceful Config, which allowed us to easily introduce a configuration for the mod. Currently you can change:

• The base knockback for mod items.
• The maximum block duration for mod items.
• The base damage mod items receive while used for blocking.
• Whether the equipping sound is played or not. You can access the config UI through the modloader mod menu of choice (Fabric players need ModMenu to see the UI).

Note: this only affects client behaviour - server owners will have to change values in the generated json config file, then restart the server for changes to take effect.

Loot Tables

We are adding a new feature to this release: Modifying loot chests in dungeons to include mod items. This should make things feel a bit more like Hexxit!

• In End Cities, find Ender or Gilded Ender Shields
• In Bastions, find Netherquartz Giant Swords, (Gilded) Netherquartz Shields
• In Buried Treasure chests, find Iron and Golden Giant Swords
• In Nether Fortresses, find Skull Giant Swords and Gilded Skull Shields
• In Stronghold Corridors, find Iron Giant Swords and Gilded Iron Shields
• In Ruined Portals, find Golden Giant Swords
• In Woodland Mansions, find Diamond Giant Swords and (Gilded) Diamond Shields
• In the Spawn Bonus Chest, find Wooden Swords and Shields

Bug Fixes & Improvements (compared to 1.20 versions)

• Fixed a bug where more than one active players in a world had the same mod item in their inventory, the item cooldown tracker would not increment.
• Fixed bugs where changing hotbar slots while blocking did not add cooldown to the items blocked with initially.
• Fixed being able to block with swords while they are “charging”.
• Fixed rendering bugs while beginning to block with mod items.
• Improved random teleportation of entities when using Ender Shields.
• Improved arrow reflection when using Diamond Shields.
• Improved particle effects when beginning to use Skull and Ender Mod Items.

Version 2.1.0 for Minecraft 1.20.6 (NeoForge)

We finally escape beta with the first ever release for modern Minecraft versions!

• Completely transitioned to Data Generation
• Brought over the majority of functionality from 1.12 (including many bug fixes!)
• Rebalanced the damage Giant Swords deal and damage Asgard Shields take

There are a couple things missing still like the Skull Sword. We await for your feedback and comments on the current items before adding the last few :)

• Added Golden Shield & Blessed Golden Shield
• Added config setting for blocking sounds
• Adjusted knockback and particles
• Rebalanced durability
• Revised textures
• Tweaked language keys

• Fixed server-sided crash

Added:

• Repair materials for swords and shields

Changed:

• Enhanced compatibility
• Fixed server-sided behavior

This Version:

• Implements Skull and Wooden Shield functionality

• Updates to Minecraft 1.20.1

First ever release for 1.20

This version includes sword blocking, shields and even some custom shield functionality!

Known bugs:

• Blocking does not render for other players when playing on servers.

• Blocking cooldowns behave differently on client vs server.

• Using the Ender Shields may teleport the attacker to a deadly height or inside a wall.

Added:

• Patchwork items (giant sword, shields)
• German translation

A lot has changed since the first 1.19.2 release! Changes include:

• Swords can now block, although this is not visible to other players in multiplayer yet. Blocks have a time limit and cooldown similar to the 1.12 version of the mod.
• Custom Shields are now present, although they do not serve any functional purpose yet.
• A config file has been introduced; it is also currently not functional but should provide an example of what is yet to come!

Changed:

• Enhanced vanilla shield compatibility

Changed:

• Fixed one-handed combat

The latest available version for 1.19; includes giant swords only.

The latest available version for 1.14; Shields are not added at this point.
