      Shields in off-hand on Nintendo Switch cause visual issues on split screen multiplayer.
      Screen shot attached.

      • (minor, known issue) Shield is not held properly by player 1 (the one who created the world), but otherwise seems to work fine.
      • (major) When player 1 looks in the direction of player 2, the shield of player 2 blocks half of their screen. When player 1 looks in any other direction, the shield functions normally.

      This issue makes it nearly impossible to properly play the game while using a shield when in split screen multiplayer.

       

      How to reproduce:
      1. Create new world on nintendo switch, turn "Multiplayer" off, to allow split screen multiplayer.
      2. Have the second player join the world on the same device, screen divides into vertical split screen with player 1 on the left side of the screen, player 2 on the right.
      3. Have both players equip a shield in their off-hand
      4. As player 1, look into the direction of player 2, the shield of player 2 will block the right side of their screen and will continue to do so as long as player 1 is looking in their direction, no matter from how far away.
