ToStraight's Shield Status + Disable Notifier
by tostraight
ToStraight's Shield Status + Disable Notifier tints shields by blocking state and can play a sound when a shield is disabled.
What it does
Each shield is recolored to show whether the player is actively blocking or whether the shield has been disabled or stunned. The two states use separate colors that can be set with alpha, and either state can be turned off. An optional blocking delay of 5 ticks can hold back the enabled indicator until the block is established, and a cue plays when the game detects that a shield was disabled, with its volume adjustable from 0 to 500 percent.
The mod is configured through Mod Menu with YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), which also covers the color and rotation settings. Interpolation for smoother visuals can be switched on or off, and the whole mod can be toggled. It is a client-side mod: only the player who runs it sees the tints and hears the cue. Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required dependencies, and files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21 – 1.21.11 across seven release versions, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Shield Disabled Indicator is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Shield Detector is also client-side and open source under the MIT License, but it is published only for 1.21.11. Potion Notifier is the one that runs on client and server and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, which makes it a different kind of tool from this shield indicator.
