User blog comment:ISharkyShark/Stained Glass in here - now I want Shields/@comment-28905095-20171102013107

Without going into the specific version of when it'll be released, there has been confirmation that they're working on Shields and the new Combat Mode. So at one point in time, these are most likely added, but we don't know if that is 1.4 or 1.9219283 or 2.0 or whatever version.
