Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Shields with thorns

I think that it would be a great idea to make thorns work on a shield. Currently if you enchant a shield with thorns blocking will not cause the thorns to activate. You have to be holding in your main or off hand and take damage for the thorns to work. I think that it would be cool and make sense for the shield to work with thorns while blocking and it would be a quick thing to implement.

    This makes sense as the shield absorbs damage just like armour decreases it, having thorns makes sense to me...

    I don't get how thorns works; a skeleton shoots you and it gets damaged by thorns on your armour. maybe the person who fired suddenly got an affinity with it? I don't know.

    Yes, there should be various modules for the shield, spikes, plates for catching the blade, a candle, as in a throne rondache.
    As well as the ability to cover the shield with copper, iron, gold, netherite.

    Or a new treasure enchant specific to shield that can only be found in a rare structure.
