Request: Shield Blocks
Request Type: Change
Try to describe all current uses of the block you request to be changed. Do you foresee any issues/ problems that could result from changing the block?
I would like to propose addition of shield blocks, right now we only have a 1x1 painting to represent shields, which I think has a bunch of major flaws:
- it takes ages to get the right one.
- it has to follow painting placement criteria.
I would like to propose a shield block similar to the type of blocks we use for our 2D wheel, furthermore it should be possible to make it a multi block texture, for example a 2x1 could form a normal shield, while 1x1 could still be our regular shield. Furthermore a biome specific shields could be implemented with this change too - as having a specific style of shields for biomes unique to a certain region would help bring the world to life.
This change would also greatly benefit ship building, especially that of long-ships as we would no longer be forced to grind painting for half and hour.
As long as we retain our old shield painting I do not see this creating any issues with existing builds - perhaps only those that use shutters for shields, as it would probably out-date few armor stands around the server.
Types of evidence to support your request: Historical, Canon
Historical Evidence
Shields... are shields.... they were used for like blocking stuff...
Canonical Evidence
Plenty of canon instances of shields being a thing in westeroscraft...
