At the moment, there is only one type of shield in the game. The shields have a low durability, and, in my opinion, unfinished mechanics when blocking damage from an attacker with an axe. I have some really interesting ideas for improving shields:
1) Add stone, iron, gold, diamond, netherite shields. Each of these shields will have an individual durability and behavior when blocking an attack from an axe. The bottom line is that an axe can only disable those shields that are made of a same material or worse than the material of the axe. For example, the diamond shield can only be disabled with a diamond axe or a netherite axe.
2) In addition, I propose to slightly rework the sum mechanics of disabling the shield with an axe blow. At the moment, you can spam with the left mouse button with an axe in main hand in order to disable the shield. The change is that you have to wait for the axe to fully recover after the attack in order to disable the shield.
3) Finally, I suggest adding the ability to apply enchantment Thorns to the shield. Thereby mobs/players that will attack a player who has covered himself with a shield, they will receive damage.
I really hope that the most part of users will support my ideas. The shields really needs an update.
