Shield enchantment: Rhino

As everyone know, the shield doesn't have any enchantments! And on top of that, you have to use it while being awfully slow. So, in that regard, why not add one that increases movement speed while crouching! Introducing the Rhino!

Rhino is an enchantment found on shields from enchanting it at a Max lvl enchantment table (lvl 30). Only 1 tier to the enchantment.

The enchantment itself increases movement speed while crouching by 25%. When you go into any mob or player, they get pushed back (knockback effect), whereafter stunned (about 3 seconds). The effect can work on multiple entities at once.

This type of enchantment would allow for a new play style using the shield.

Also, the enchantment would only work alongside unbreaking (no other shield enchantments), as it would be too strong.

    This is a shockingly great idea

    I had an idea to separate the offhand with it’s own action from sneak; to allow the lowering and raising of the shield with a wider, shorter shield. In this situation you’re doing so while not crouching, so you’re moving at regular speed. Crouching would lower you behind the shield.
    Reason for this is to not only open up the offhand for blocking, but offense, utility to work in unison of the mainhand, but also open up and reserve (an action button & category) for simple defensive maneuvers later on over time; rush, dodge, parry, etc.
    But I’m not against the enchant at all, very practical purpose!

    This is a dope idea! It would help with crowd control, while remaining balanced. Plus, the shield would have to occupy your main or off-hand anyways. I don't think that ramming mobs should do damage, or if it does, at least not a lot of damage. But I definitely like this idea! Mojang! <---LOOK
