Shield
Shield blocks frontal attacks, arrows, and many projectiles after a simple plank-and-iron recipe.

Description
Shield is crafted from six planks and one iron ingot, giving early survival players a major defensive upgrade for low cost. When raised, it blocks many frontal melee hits, arrows, tridents, and common projectiles, reducing or preventing damage as long as the attack comes from the protected angle. Durability drops with use, so heavy combat still wears it down.
The item changes how caves, raids, skeleton fights, and Nether travel feel. Instead of relying only on armor, players can time blocks, close distance safely, and survive ambushes. In Java Edition, banners can be applied for decoration, turning the tool into a faction marker or roleplay emblem.
