by Scrabby

What it does

A HUD readout shows the shield delay of the local player, and an overhead indicator shows the delay of other players nearby. Audio cues signal when a shield becomes usable, and the base delay can be adjusted to match servers that change shield timing. The bar color and gradient can also be changed. The mod runs on the client only, so servers do not need it. Files are published for Fabric, with 1.1.0 for 1.21 as the latest build, released 2025-09-16 under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Personal shield delay HUD

    A HUD element displays the shield delay of the local player, so the timing is visible during a fight.

  2. Overhead delay indicator

    Shows the shield delay of other players above their heads, which helps when judging an opponent's block.

  3. Audio and timing offset

    A sound plays when the shield is ready, and an offset option lets players adjust their reaction timing.
