Bronze

Bronze is a metal. Unlike other metals, bronze does not have its own ore, bronze ingot is obtained from a tin and copper ore mix which is crafted using the two ores. Like all metals, bronze can be fashioned into tools, armour and its own block, which have the same attributes as iron, only having more enchantibility. Bronze can also be used to make unique items associated with ancient Greek culture like bronze spears and shields. Bronze armour has a distinctive look made to look like the armour worn by hoplites.

Shield
The bronze shield, when worn in offhand, has a 40% chance of completely deflecting attacks from mobs. The default shield is made of bronze, wood and leather, but that shield can then be combined in a crafting grid with a dye to imprint a pattern associated with one of the major Greek people from antiquity.
