ShieldIndicator
by JanCantCode
ShieldIndicator shows a number above an opponent's name after an axe breaks their shield, counting down the seconds the shield stays disabled.
What it does
After an axe breaks a player's shield, a red number appears behind that player's name. The number shows how many seconds the shield remains disabled, so the attacker knows when the next hit can land without guessing. The mod is a Fabric client mod, so only the player running it sees the indicator, and servers need nothing installed. Files target 1.20.1 only, and the latest Fabric build is 1.0.1 for 1.20.1, published on 2024-01-27. The code is open source under the MIT License.

No guessing on the next hit
The countdown removes the need to estimate whether an opponent can raise their shield again.
Shows the timing of axe breaks
The indicator appears only after an axe breaks a shield, so it matches the timing that matters in combat.
