Shield Projector Tier 1 is a block from RFTools mod. It is used to turn Shield Template blocks into an actual shield. Shield Projector Tier 1 can maintain up to 256 shield blocks.

A Shield Projector requires RF power to maintain a shield. To create a shield, a player needs Shield Template Blocks placed in a necessary shape and a Shield Projector next to it. Right-click the Shield Projector block with a Crescent Hammer (or any compatible wrench) to turn Shield Template blocks into actual shield blocks. Right-click again to disable the shield.

In the Shield Projector's GUI a player can set specific filters for the shield, allowing to handle various entities differently. The GUI also has options for shield's block texture and redstone settings:

Entities[edit]

Entity groups include:

  • All - a rule will apply to all entities.
  • Hostile - a rule will apply to all hostile mobs.
  • Passive - a rule will apply to all passive mobs.
  • Item - a rule will apply to all items.
  • Player - a rule will apply to all players. When using this option, a player can specify an IGN of a player to whom the rule will apply.

Filter Rules[edit]

The following filters can apply to the listed above groups:

  • Pass - a shield will act as air blocks, letting the entity pass through.
  • Solid - a shield will act like a solid wall, blocking the entities.
  • Damage - an entity can pass the shield but takes damage.
  • SolDmg - an entity cannot pass the shield and takes damage.

Damage Type[edit]

This setting only works with "Damage" and "SolDmg" filters.

  • Generic - deals generic damage to entities.
  • Player - deals damage as done by a player. This mode requires more RF power to run but mobs killed with this damage drop items and XP orbs.

Shield Texture[edit]

  • Shield - uses the default semi-transparent Shield texture.
  • Invisible - the shield is completely invisible.
  • Solid - uses the texture of a specified block (a player has to place a block into a slot and click "Set").

Remember that despite a shield looking solid, an entity can still pass through it if matches the filter which is set to "Pass". Shield Texture is a purely cosmetic perk.

Redstone Modes[edit]

  • Ignore - ignores redstone signals, the shield is constantly on.
  • ON to activate.
  • OFF to activate.

Note: it's very common to use shield projector with screen to turn the shield on/off.
