What it does

The mod makes a shield's cooldown visible to other players. When an attack disables a shield, the cooldown can be seen by anyone who has the mod installed, which helps in team fights where timing matters. It is a lightweight client mod, and only players who install it see the cooldown of other players' shields. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib are required dependencies. Files target 1.20.3 – 1.20.6 on Fabric, and the code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later.

Key features

  1. Shield cooldown display

    A visible timer shows when an opponent's shield was disabled by an attack and when it will be usable again.

  2. Team fight timing

    Teammates can see each other's shield cooldowns, which is useful in PVP and in teamed PVE encounters.

  3. Lightweight client display

    The display runs on the client alone, and the server does not need to install anything.
