What Makes This Special

Smaller Shield's brilliance lies in separating visual representation from gameplay mechanics. The modification uses advanced model scaling that reduces shield presence without affecting the invisible collision box used for damage calculations. Special attention to the blocking animation ensures the shield still appears to provide convincing protection despite its reduced size. The pack includes subtle position adjustments preventing the smaller shield from appearing to float away from the player's arm. Banner pattern rendering uses supersampling techniques to maintain design clarity on the reduced canvas. The size reduction ratio was determined through extensive PvP testing to find the optimal balance between visibility improvement and believable protection appearance.
