Hey everyone,

For all the map makers out there wanting to make a map with the new shields, you'll probably want to use /give or /replaceitem to give the shields.

But how do you do that?

Well...

I use this website to create banners: http://www.needcoolshoes.com/banner?=mabKoglh

When you have your banner, take your code,

example:

^{/give @p minecraft:banner 1 0 {BlockEntityTag:{Base:12,Patterns:[{Pattern:gru,Color:1},{Pattern:bt,Color:14},{Pattern:bts,Color:11}]}}}

Than, replace the word "banner" with "shield"

^{/give @p minecraft:shield 1 0 {BlockEntityTag:{Base:12,Patterns:[{Pattern:gru,Color:1},{Pattern:bt,Color:14},{Pattern:bts,Color:11}]}}}

And there you've got yourself a custom shield, have fun

Thanks, I'm discovering a lot of stuff while making a new map.

And if you'd like to put the shield in the off hand slot:

This is a very neat trick and has already proved very useful. Cheers mate, ~Nibby

What if I were to summon an item? The command successfully executed when I entered it, however the output was a normal shield with no art on it.

This is what I did:

summon Item ~ ~ ~ {Motion:[0.0,.4,0.0],Item:{id:"minecraft:shield",Count:1},BlockEntityTag:{Base:7,Patterns:[{Color:8,Pattern:"cbo"},{Color:8,Pattern:"bri"},{Color:7,Pattern:"gru"},{Color:7,Pattern:"gra"},{Color:7,Pattern:"sku"}]}}

Does anyone the proper way to summon a shield with art on it?
