Asgard Shield

The '''Asgard Shield''' mod is an expansive mod that adds many new elements to the game, most notably shields. It also has several addons, which increase the volume of content it delivers. 

Addons in Hexxit: Harken Scythe, Ender/Nether, Hallowed

==Using Shields==

The shields are used by equipping them in your hotbar or inventory. When you equip a shield an indicator will appear between your health and food bars. The indicator starts empty and fills up over time, but this does not seem to have an effect on the functionality of the shield. The shield DOES NOT passively grant defense when it is not held, but is in the hotbar. When held the shield blocks a percentage of damge received, rounded to the nearest half heart, and when the right mouse button is pressed, it blocks like a sword does, and prevents most damage. If on the hotbar, the shield's block will override a vanilla sword's block (Your character will physically switch hotbar slots to the shield for the time you hold right-click, switching back to your sword when you release it). If a shield is held in an inventory slot and not a hotbar slot the shield still functions and the hotbar switches to a temporary "11th" hotbar slot for the duration of the block. Giant Swords and a few mod swords will not function with the auto-shield-block feature and will block normally, though Giant Swords seem to have similair defensive abilities as shields. Each shield has a special perk and a weakness. Both are visible in game as flavor text when the item is moused over. Note that it seems if you hold right click until the shield bar is fully depleted, the icons will change to a cracked versioin and the meter will recharge much slower with a chance for the shield to break..

==Types of Shields==

There is a standard and gilded variant of every shield. The gilded shields can block for twice the amount of time as the standard ones.

==Using Giant Swords==

While held, giant swords offer excellent offense and defense. They hit harder than vanilla swords, and while blocking greatly reduce incoming damage. However, unlike regular swords, they have a limited amount of blocking time, which needs to recharge after being consumed. This is displayed in the HUD above the food bar, opposite the armor bar, when blocking or recharging.

==Addons==

<span style="line-height:20px;">There are three addons to the pack in Hexxit.</span>

<span style="line-height:20px;">Harken Scythe adds the Biomass and Livingmetal items.</span>

<span style="line-height:20px;">Ender/Nether adds the Ender and Nether Quartz items.</span>

<span style="line-height:20px;">Hallowed adds the Skull and Patchwork items.</span>

==Notes==

*Both the shield and giant sword blocking indicators in the HUD flash blue every second or so. This is evidently a bug.

*Skulls for the Skull items can now be found in most caves and mineshafts.

*For some odd reason if you try to surround a normal quality shield in a crafting table with 8 gold ingots it will not give you a gilded shield but will instead give you another shield or a giant sword and will crash the game even if you don't try to take the newly crafted item.
