DESCRIPTION

This datapack grants players wielding shields with banner patterns in their off hand special buffs, giving a reason to add banners to shields beyond cosmetic purposes, as well as giving players a datapack for getting buffs from something held in the offhand slot without the need of a resource pack.

The specific buff is determined by the base color of the banner pattern applied. The list of potential buffs can be found down below.

OTHER THINGS

These stat buffs may be changed in future patches if they are deemed overpowered or underpowered by any who are willing to give feedback.

The most recent version of this datapack was designed for 1.21.5, but I have confirmed everything works as intended in future versions.
