The Elvenking here, and yes it has been FOREVER since I have been on the forums and I want to get back into it.

Anyways, recently Mojang has anounced the 1.9 update for MC. And in that update (based on current information, more to come) are shields, new arrows, quivers, left handed option, duel weilding, new boats and boat mechanics, etc.

But I have a question for the mod and the 1.9 update.

Since Mojang is adding [working] shields into vanilla MC, Mevans do you plan on adding [working] Middle-Earth shields as well? I know that you have said many times that you will not add working shields but I was thinking, since Mojang is adding them, that will take a lot of the new coding and such out of it, making it so much easier to add.
