These shields will allow users to defend and nerf damage taken by enemies. Although currently swords allow players to 'defend' by right clicking the mouse, I think that ability should be removed and added to a Shield item. The shields will be used to guard and take less damage depending on the tier of shield.
Defense Rate
When Guarding:
Wood: .3x Damage Nerf
Stone: .5x Damage Nerf
Iron: 1x Damage Nerf
Gold: 1.3x Damage Nerf
Diamond: 2x Damage Nerf
(Diamond Shield you take half the normal damage)
How they work
How the shield's durability goes down is simple. When you guard by right clicking with a shield and get hit, the shield's durability will go down by the amount of damage its blocking.
So lets say you have a Diamond Shield and are guarding. You block an attack that does 6 Damage, Your shield's durability will go down by 3.

If you support the Shields just +1 the post or post whatever; If you wanna add something or comment then do it, No one should be afraid to criticize.
I'm afraid that having the shield would make armour redunant, and it will conflict with right-click inputs. If we want to place/use something, then we have to use the right-click button, but this will conflict with using a shield too.
I'm confident that this would lead in annoyance, rather than utility, so I do not support this idea.
Oh and you may want to change the title, as a 'defendant' is a commonly used term for the client of a Defense Attorney.
Shields are probably the most over-suggested combat idea in the whole of this forum, go necro one of those if you want to discuss it.
Shields would be a nice addition for me, if they are achieved with an "off-hand" equipment slot which is usable only when you have a tool/weapon out. The off-hand slot would only be able to hold blocks and shields, and be activated by right clicking.
That's the most common shield suggestion out as far as I know.

Though, I understand the point.
