Currently, Minecraft only has one type of shield. I think shields should have different material variants, just like tools and armor:
Wood → Stone → Iron → Copper → Gold → Diamond → Netherite
Different materials could affect:
❤️ Durability
📐 Protection angle
💥 Knockback against melee attackers
The material should also be visible on the shield's border, so you can immediately tell what it is made of.
🔥 The Netherite Shield would have the highest durability, the largest protection angle, and the strongest knockback. Like other Netherite equipment, it would also not burn in lava.
To preserve Minecraft's progression, the Netherite Shield would not be crafted directly. Instead, a Diamond Shield would be upgraded at a Smithing Table using a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template and a Netherite Ingot.
This would give shields a progression system similar to tools and armor while keeping the current shield mechanics.
