Minecraft Shields are a simple but useful defensive tool to aid in pixelated combat, used to block direct melee attacks or projectiles in the sandbox game. Minecraft shields are not upgradable, so it’s one size fits all, but they can be customised using a banner to cover it in your own design.

Here’s everything you need to know about making, using and decorating your Minecraft shield.
