About this Mod

Shield Delay Indicator

Minecraft has a 250ms or 5 ticks delay before shields start to block damage when using them.

This mod lets you see how many ticks left before your shield blocks any damage. Useful for accurate shield spamming.

Note: This mod doesn't account for your ping that gets added to the 250ms delay. It should be negligable if your ping is less than 100ms though.
