Shield Status Fixes
by Krebbel
Shield Status Fixes corrects a display bug in Walksy's Shield Statuses, where an opponent's shield can appear red even though it is still active.
What it does
Walksy's Shield Statuses sometimes marks an opponent's shield as broken when the shield is still usable. This mod adds a second verification check before the broken state is shown, so a shield is only drawn red once it is actually disabled. The indicator reflects the real state of the shield during a fight, which removes a source of misleading information.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, with 1.5.6-1.21.11 as the latest file. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it and players can use it alone. The code is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source.
