It is necessary to acquire weapons in Minecraft, but protective devices are also necessary. Creating a shield for yourself means getting more security. In Minecraft, a shield is an object that a player can create to protect against attacks from other players or mobs.
When using shields while playing on a PC, there are no particular problems. If the game is played from a phone, you must choose a version specially designed for tablets and phones. To create a shield, you need planks and an iron ingot. If you want, you can experiment with the blocks to get the gear you want.
Why do you need a shield in the game
Using the shield, the player can easily block any attacks. But it should be borne in mind that when using protection, the character will have to sit down, which slows down his movements. If enemies strike at this time, the damage from them will be minimal. This is a great opportunity to get protection from possible attacks.
The player holds the shield with one hand - this reduces the effect of its use, but makes it possible to strike, and not just defend. The player should remember that when choosing a weapon, it is necessary to take into account the time it takes for it to appear in the hand. The ax can spawn in one second, it takes less time for the sword to spawn. At this moment, it is necessary to ensure that you do not substitute - the shield during the choice of weapons ceases to perform its protective functions. Strikes should be struck immediately, as soon as a weapon appears in the hands.
The shield can also protect in close combat, and prevent damage from projectiles flying in your direction. It can reduce damage if fiery projectiles are flying at it, stop the fire, significantly increase the player's ability to survive.
