About this Mod

Simple mod that allows you to see the angle that the shield blocks when a player is using it, this mod allows you to get a visual on that half circle starting from the center of the player with a 3 block radius spanning the 180 degrees that the shield blocks, if your hitting them from anywhere behind this radius you'll preform a backstab and damage the player instead of their shield, this is a visual mod and therefore should be allowed on most servers but its always a good idea to check just in case
