what I mean by add better shield intigration is to make it to where anything that can be considered a shield in some shape or form can be detected by the mod

the reason: ive noticed that some shields (Tetra and Immersive Engineerings Heavy Shield_ dont properly render the shield being used as it should when in combat mode

I expected them to be acting like the

original one as in this shot

but instead it acts more like this

(using Tetra Shield while in Combat mode, it not rendering as such for some reason)

(using the heavy shield from IE)

if you can fix this then that would be swell, I really like the work you put into this mod ^w^

ok I intigrated it into the custom config option, only problem

it dosent disable the slight shield bend offset when used (the old bend thing)

is this something to fix on your end or another?

Edit: sorry for the poor lighting in this shot

you can set it in mod config

Tetra uses NBT value to define the type of item. So without the special config, the blocking animation won't be played. There is an
addon that makes it possible.

I have that mod present in that shot. I guess they need to fix that. is their any info that can help in impimenting it?
