There's an issue with this mod that causes servers to crash, and I don't have the motivation (or knowledge) to fix it. I'll discontinue this mod
The mod works in singleplayer/local multiplayer, just not on servers. The issue seems to affect only the 1.20 versions
I recommend using Shields+ instead; It's made by a better and a more skilled modder
