Shield Disabled Indicator
by rotslicer
Shield Disabled Indicator shows a small marker just below the crosshair when a player's shield has been disabled by an axe hit.
What it does
When an axe disables a shield, the mod draws a simple indicator right beneath the crosshair, so the player can see the state without checking the hotbar. It only affects the client, and a server does not need it, so players can join servers that do not run the mod. Builds exist for Fabric on 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, with 1.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Crosshair indicator
A simple marker appears directly below the crosshair while the shield is disabled, and disappears once it recovers.
Shield state at a glance
Players see whether their shield is usable without opening inventory or watching the item model in the offhand.
Client-side behavior
The indicator is drawn only on the player's own screen, so it adds nothing to server load or world data.
