Improvements to Shields

1. Shields should be tiered with different materials, including:

-> Wooden Shield

-> Stone Shield

-> Copper Shield

-> Iron Shield (All current shields will be converted to Iron Shields)

-> Gold Shield

-> Diamond Shield

-> Netherite Shield

All shield types (with the exception of netherite) will be crafted using the current crafting recipe, but replacing the iron ingot with any type of plank, stone, copper ingot, gold ingot and diamond, crafting a Wooden Shield, Stone Shield, Copper Shield, Golden Shield and Diamond Shield respectively. Diamond Shields can be upgraded in a smithing table to obtain a Netherite Shield.

Instead of blocking all damage and knockback dealt to the player holding the shield, the tiers will now block more damage and knockback the stronger the material, but not ALL the damage. The angle that the shield blocks also increases the stronger the material, but the shield is also disabled for longer.

Piglins now hold Gold Shields.
