I want to point out that Shields are not synonymouns for Dual Wielding. Like on mods from much ere Minecraft 1.9, there existed the BattleGear Mod and asgards shields. Both allowed you to delight of using a shield and weapon.

The former worked by placing it on a special slot, activated by pressing the "R" key. The second was yet more intruguing, everytime you blocked with a Sword or other Weapon by Right Clicking, your character would instantly Switch To the Shield Slot, going back to the original one once the Shield has been used.
