ShibaGrace
by shiba.jr
New players on a ShibaGrace server receive a timed shield against player combat, which lasts 45 minutes by default and can be changed in the config.
What it does
A player who joins for the first time gets a protection period during which other players cannot attack them, and the protected player cannot attack others either. The default length is 45 minutes, and the server owner can set a different value. Protection is applied automatically, so no command or item is needed to start it.
Protected players are marked in several places at once. A symbol is shown in front of their name, in the tab list and in chat, a scoreboard prefix identifies them, and a small floating feather drone glides above the player's head. Players can see how much time is left, with chat warnings at 10 minutes, 5 minutes and 30 seconds, followed by a 10-second countdown.
ShibaGrace is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 only, and it is server-side only, so vanilla clients join without issues. Only the server needs the mod installed. The feather drone and the name symbol are shown through the Visual Indicators client mod, which players must install to see them. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
