Shields are an essential tool in Minecraft Bedrock, providing players with a way to block incoming attacks and protect themselves from damage. They can be crafted from a variety of materials, each with its own unique durability and enchantments.
Shields are particularly useful in combat, as they can be used to deflect arrows, melee attacks, and even explosions. They can also be used to block projectiles from dispensers and traps. In addition, shields can be used to bash mobs, dealing damage and knocking them back.
