You can make shields with custom model data. You need two model files, each with identical models but different display settings, for when it's being held normally or used to block

Are you familiar with applying custom model data to items?

[gray timber]

No

But i did watch a vid to learn about it

Alright, well essentially you just add an override to the vanilla model file of the item you want (in this case a shield) with a custom_model_data number, and a filepath to the model you want to replace with (which would would then reference a texture). Then when you give yourself an item with that same custom_model_data number, it'll have the new model

And like I said, to do it for a shield is the same process, except you'll have the same custom_model_data number used for two separate overrides, one of which when the shield is blocking (you can look at the vanilla shield model to see how, it's pretty simple) and one when it's not

If you don’t mind can I stream this to you?

[odd relic]
