About this Mod
Shield Timer
Have you ever found yourself guessing exactly when your shield will be ready to use again? Vanilla Minecraft's sliding gray box doesn't give you the precise timing you need in the heat of battle.
Shield Timer fixes this by replacing the vague vanilla animation with a clean, precise visual countdown timer for your shield cooldown.
🚀 Features
Visual Cooldown Timer: Replaces the standard sliding box with a precise countdown timer on your hotbar.
Custom Placement: Don't like where the timer sits? You can fully customize exactly where the timer appears on your HUD to fit your perfect UI setup.
Enemy Stun Tracker: Keep the upper hand in PvP! If you stun an enemy's shield—or if your own shield gets stunned—the mod displays a clear, 100-tick (5-second) countdown tracker so you know exactly how long they (or you) are vulnerable.
