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:
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:
Mod-specific Material Support:
The following requires Botania:
All of the above Shields can be regenerated using Botania Mana. They also have Lexica Botania entries!
[Version 1.x and 3.x only] The following requires Thermal Foundation:
[Version 1.x only] The following requires Abyssalcraft:
[Version 1.x only] The following requires Better with Mods:

[Version 1.x only] The following requires Redstone Arsenal:
Tower Shields:
Tower Shields function in the same way as regular Shields but you can also apply some banners to them!
In version 3.x, these now have more durability and can Shield Bash multiple enemies in a small radius and has a larger cooldown.

Enchantments:
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:

Finally! Version 3.0.0 is here! Sorry it took so long
Updated for Minecraft 1.18.2! A version for 1.20.1 will be coming up next (and possibly 1.19.x if the demand is there)
Additions:
- Added Aluminum Shields!
- Every basic shield variant (excluding the Mekanism Osmium, Lapis Lazuli, Refined Glowstone and Refined Obsidian shields) now have Tower Shield variants now!
- Tower shields also now have higher durability than the standard shields
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed shields bashing with the main hand swinging instead of the shield hand swinging
- Tower Shields now cost 6 of the material it is made from to craft them
Compatibility:
- Other mod's shields can now have shield bashes assigned to them via the item tag "spartanshields:shields_with_bash". Currently the Vanilla Shield and Mekanism Tools' Shields are supported, but additional ones can be added via datapacks

Compatibility Fixes:
- Changed the version required for Botania from "409" to "1.16.3-409". This should fix any compatibility issues people are having with newer versions of Minecraft Forge.
Misc Tweaks:
- Re-coloured the Bronze Shields slightly to use a new palette that I think looks better imo. This will be more obvious when in the next major Spartan Weaponry release.
- Updated Forge version to 36.1.2 on Minecraft 1.16.5
Changes in version "2.1.1":
Bugfixes:
- Fixed the attribute values for Obsidian Shields. They were supposed to give a 30% decrease in speed, rather than a 70% increase. Oops.
Changes in release version "2.1.0":
Bugfixes:
- Removed the Lexica Botania extension data from this mod, at least temporarily. This is due to the Patchouli mod (that the Lexica Botania uses to make the book work) being in more widespread use amongst other mods. If Botania isn't installed but Patchouli is, then it causes serious issues including lag and crashing. If you want this back, I'll consider making a data pack that will restore this. Just keep in mind that this requires both Spartan Shields and Botania to be installed to use it correctly.
Tweaks:
- Reduced the console spam when attempting to stitching textures (which is used for adding the Tower Shield textures). It should only come up once when the Tower Shield textures has been added now.
Changes in version "2.1.0 beta-1":
Additions:
- Netherite Strengthened Shield
Can be upgraded from a Diamond Reinforced Shield in a Smithing Table by using a Netherite Ingot
- Netherite Tower Shield
Same as above but using a Diamond Tower Shield instead
- JEI Integration
Hang on a sec, what would we need JEI integration for? Simple. It adds a recipe category that shows how to apply banners to shields.
