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 (not in your hand). When you equip a shield an indicator will appear between your health and food bars, indicating the strength of your shield. It will charge up over time, until full. The shield passively grants defense when it is not held, but is in the hotbar. When held and the right mouse button is pressed, it blocks, like a sword does, and prevents most damage. If equipped, the shield's block will override a vanilla sword's block. That means that when you block with a sword, the shield will apppear in the blocking position until you release it. Each shield has a special perk and a weakness. Both are visible in game as flavor text when the item is moused over.

==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.
