I know there is already blocking with swords, but I thought it would be much cooler if there was a actual shield. They would only take a few hits before breaking (depending on the level, iron, gold, diamond, wood) so they wouldn't be too over powered. You could make them out of iron, gold and diamond and enchant them as well. You would have to scroll over to it, because you can only use one hand. And it would make combat more tactical.
You would craft it like this:
Or the same thing except with diamond, gold and wood.
So, do you like the idea?
EDIT: Santast suggested that you could craft a item with a shield and sword and when you scrolled over to that item, you could right click to attack and left click to block. I thought that idea was pretty good too.
Yah good idea, though unless you could hold a sword and a shield at the same time, it would be kind of hard to use while battling other players. But that would be a good mod.

Maybe, if you left click with the shield, it would push back the enemy like a sword with Knockback I-IV...Maybe make a Crafting Recipe that once you make the shield and sword you put them on a crafting bench and it becomes one item and it shows you holding both : Right Click = Shield ; Left Click = Sword... Use the scroll to switch items like normal!
